Last discussions about Python balancing and the argument how Python is expensive therefore must be awesome in all things made me think about ratio of price to performance for all ships in general.
Let's see(talking about multi-purpose including ASP):
Cobra 379k price comparing to 6600k for ASP even though ASP is a little stronger it is not 20 times stronger and can be killed by just one Cobra rather than 20 Cobras.
Python is 57M comparing to 6.6m of ASP which gives us about 8 ASPs per Python. It is fair to say that it looks much closer to how it should be, I mean in order to kill a Python you may need 2 or 3 ASPs.
Python is 57M - Cobra .379M does it take 150 Cobras to kill a Python? Obviously not.
Anaconda is 147M - Python is 57M, does it take 3 Pythons to kill an Anaconda? Not by far - I would say 0.7 Python to kill an Anaconda.
Anaconda 147M - Cobra .379M, well you are supposed to have a division of Cobras to take down one Anaconda. Fair to say that it looks quite out of balance that couple of Cobras can take down an Anaconda or only one heavy armed Cobra can take down Anaconda with class4 shields.
So either Cobra should be much more expensive or Higher ships should be much stronger.
