Hi There,

I am looking for an A7 power plant for my Python. Any place to get this at 20% discount? It is not at Feynman in Bhritz.

Second best is 15%. Any specific place for it?

Thanks,

Islata

Was looking for the same thing earlier. Found one at Hogg City in Anlave.

Islata · Jun 23, 2015

Thank you so much.

Found it right there. Even 20% discount.

Have you tried XI Ursae Maioris or Anlave?
Then my choice in Li Yong Rui space would be Jafnhau.
But, Shirley City in Fiden system has: 7A,B,& C power plants for sure (checked), it also has 7A power distributors.

Sol: Daedalus (Station)
bought a Federal Dropship for 14,27 mio (28% discount) since i recently became Ensign
i think the other stations in Sol sell them for 15,85 mio (20% discount)
also the Bulkheads for it were cheaper than normal (14,xx mio ~ 20% discount) on Daedalus

I can confirm the discount on Dropship was there yesterday too.

A7 powerplant i could not find at Hudson space so i went over to Yong-Rui. A high tech sys near to the CG one has them at 15% off.

Yes my friend, you can
As Ari Ben said, be sure they have those modules before selling...

Five minutes are enough, I wait 6 to be sure! Tested.

Thanks bud. Any need for another wolf pack attack near you? Anaconda is almost A spec'd for combat!!!

Samosa · Jun 23, 2015

I'm trying really, really, really hard to not sell my Python and buy an Anaconda (for trading) that I can't afford to kit out properly...

How much do you have to spend? A trading Conda really brings in the dough. And can be outfitted for a fair amount.
This is what I started with:

Just slightly over 170 million. Go to the discounted stations and you can save millions, maybe about 30 million

I will call you then! Right now I'm seeing so few people around... perhaps they are scattered around the Galaxy doing PP.

I probably have about 140 million to scrape together right now, which probably wouldn't quite make it even with the discount. If I had 20 million more, I think it'd work.

Did you already get a discount-python and discount-modules for it, Samosa?

Might find some loose change in the couch that way...

'Fraid not! I've been using all my time lately ranking up (not sure why...), else I'd have loads of money.

I'm sure if I trade casually for a couple of weeks, I'll get there!

Could I buy and fully outfit an Anaconda at one of these stations, Bhritzameno ?

As of last night there wasn't an Andaconda, BUT I did pick up Annie for 117mil at LTT 15449

I am totally doing this. I did it with my python, and I really enjoyed building my ship one module at a time.

MrReynolds · Jun 23, 2015

Anaconda anyone? Fancy a total overhaul for "Lady Luck".
Tried Anlave and Bhritzameno.
Thanks.

No, I meant: did you already replace your current Python and her modules with discounted ones? That'll free some credits.

Also helps by lowering the rebuy.

To everyone, I'm thinking of updating the OP to include this detail explaining that you'll loose 10% of hull cost when re-buying but obviously get cashback when comparing. Also the tidbits like selling off modules at station before or waiting 6 minutes etc

People think its worth including or should I leave it out?

Ah, I see, thank you!

Well, I already bit the bullet - sold the Python and Courier, and picked up a nicely discounted Anaconda. Promptly smacked it into the station wall and lost all my shields - whoops! It's not a nimble thing, is it? Anyway, I'm off to go get a few basic modules so I can haul about 384T, and then it's time to try to make some money back.

Do I need any weapons with an Anaconda, or can I still boost-boosty-boost away from NPCs if I get interdicted?

Yes. Good idea and great thread. Thanks.

You should definitely include my infamous 6 minutes trick

Remember to specify that player need to log-off for that time. If you simply wait, sold modules will never disappear! (Tested)

I'm at Binet Port right now and while they do have the Annie it's not on discount...neither is any ship here. Yet it's a control system...

I'm backing Winters and I'm allied to the Feds, any idea what could be wrong? I still get correct discount @ Bhritzameno.

EDIT: Okay, I get the discount @ Malerba Station in LTT 15449 but there is no Anaconda at this station...dafuq?! Oh also Binet Port is Fed so I really don't know why they aren't offering discount.

EDIT2: After leaving Malerba and going back to Binet I do have the discount. Appears it was either a display bug or...something. Crisis averted.
