I am writing this to ask if I should keep my conda. I love it, but I rarely fly it cause i only have enough for one rebuy. I was wondering if I should sell my a rated conda and and just buy an fdl, fas, python and have fun with those until i make like a bunch more of credits. I just can't make up my mind and need some help from other people. What do you guys think? Keep conda with only one rebuy or buy an fdl, fas, and/or python until richer?
Anaconda keep or sell??

Down grade the modules and keep it, no reason to sell it
You have an Anaconda and are short of credits? An Anaconda is the quickest way to make loads of credits! Just re-equip for just about any trade, and prepare to max out on that trade.
Downgrade modules, fill up with cargo racks and wait for a decent CG. The current one is stupid, so have a look at the next one and if there's a cargo run one look at the list of commodities they're asking for and then have a look at the prices here and pick the most expensive.

Then put in the location of the CG station in the database and pick a system that's closest with a station that's not too far away. Spend a few hours on this and you should make a pretty penny just in trade. Get yourself into top 25% at least if you have the time and you should net yourself a good 30mil and then some. Then you can stop worrying about your re-buys.

Sell the modules, to regain capital, leave it in storage with E rated modules. It will be there for you, commander, when you are ready. Until then, you can use the freed capital to obtain something that can assist with wealth creation (eg trade or passenger ship, or combat ship if this takes your fancy).
Fly safe! o7
There is a CG that includes platinum (palladium? one of the P's) deliveries this week, I believe? - so with respect, I shall be availing myself of this increased demand, in yonder cutter for wealth creation.

Keep the Anaconda over the Python. The FDL and FAS are specialist ships so it's sort of hard to say what to do there. Probably FAS if you are looking for pure combat, until you can get a Corvette. Just my preference, I enjoyed flying the FAS more. For Multipurpose, keep the Conda and upgrade to the Cutter. Again, preference, no analysis on 'betta meta' from me. If you're worried about rebuys, just do low risk activities until you have more, there are enough low risk missions to run that it shouldn't be a problem.

Well...
How are you planning to use the conda? How do you expect to lose the conda?
A tricked out conda in a HazRez will net you 5m per hour or so. A trade spec conda will earn even more. And an exploration conda, well.. That gets you kudos Useless for missions really..
There are many many ways to make credits without putting your ship on the line.
Knowing when to run is key.
My suggestion would be to spec it for trade and get your balance healthy, then decide.

Not to mention how useful a Conda is for extra storage
A properly set up Trade Conda can easily generate 12 - 15 Mil/hour
It can also be set up to do Sightseeing Passenger Missions by throwing a couple Class 6 First class cabins in it and still get around 40LY range.
If you're short on credits, an Anaconda is a pretty good ship for getting some. Other than a Cutter for trade, there isn't many other ways of making a whole lot more that I can think of unless there's still some skimmer killing or data scanning exploits available. I recently cashed a couple hundred mil from exploration, but that takes time.

You can do that. If you do, the FDL is the better choice.
But, as previously noted, you could also equip a couple First Class size 6 cabins and do some passenger missions to rake in some cash. I sense you really just want to focus on PvE combat??? If so, then strip the Conda and store it and build an FDL.
Much depends on the details of your situation. How many credits you have, what your status is with engineers, what weapons and modules you have on the Conda that can just be put onto an FDL, and so on.
My rule of thumb would be to maintain a credit balance of 3X re-buys. If you can do that then go ahead, otherwise, use the Conda to generate so cr balance with lower risk activities.
In the end - it's your call.

Personally, I'd say keep it. Heck, I bought/sold my Python twice to keep my Anaconda. But...
Since you didn't mention your progress with the game, it's difficult to give you informed advice. Aside from the inability to land at outposts (ie medium pad requirement) IMHO, the Anaconda is the second most versatile ship in the game. If the Python is the epitome of multi-role, then the Anaconda is its' big brother. You can do pretty much everything that a Python can, but more of it. With 9 optional internals, 8 hard points, and 8 utilities, the ship is a cash register. Yeah I know, equipping it feels more like a money pit at first. And the time consumed for engineering on top of the cost, can be ugh. But...
When I got my Corvette last week, most of the core/optional modules from my Fighta-Conda fit right in. All the engineering was done and out of the way long ago. I replaced the A rated with D-rated stuff. One trip to Felicity and turned it into a 56 light year Jump-a-Conda, w/o batting an eye. Compared to a battle rig, the cost for that was minimal. But...
If nothing else, you can always store little used modules in it. That can help unclutter your main storage. I'd hate for you to cash in 150M to 500M worth of ship, just to realize in 6 months that you wished you hadn't. Talk about major bummer...

Don't sell the weapons, switch all the internals to cargo racks (keep the shields )and spend a weekend putting time into a trade Community Goal. If the goal maxes, and you are in the top 25% the payout is almost 20 million, on top of what you made trading. There is your rebuy money.
If you don't have rebuy money, do the CG in solo and run from the NPC pirates.
Another option right now is to run meta-alloy to Timat from Maia. In my Cutter I am making 7-8 million a run (704 tons of cargo).

My problem with keeping ships is that I am rarely in the same system for more than a week. I leave in whatever ship catches my eye that day, and then my other ships are 1.5hrs away as the transfer flies. Makes them useless to me. If I was counting credits in the 200m Cr range, that's different. For billionaires, we just leave them in space once they run out of fuel.
