Be honest everyone. Who will most likely purchase the Python MkII..?

That we should know in the next 20 minutes or so!
Probably as some here refuse to believe that they need to have more revenue to get through the next year or so?
The biggest little word there is!
Alright, adding a 4th hardpoint while dropping both distributor and power plant to size 6. And the much reduced internals expected from a combat ship. Now I know I won't get it in advance for sure. That distributor especially just sucks.
I have no idea what FD were thinking with the P2, but it wasn't anything useful.
Make a reasonable gank ship, I suppose.
My thoughts:
Internals are a bit disappointing. For titanbombing you either have 5D repair with just 16 limpets or 3D repair with 64 limpets. Outside of titanbombing, it's pure ship-to-ship combat. Not enough internals to be a multirole combat/rescue/pirate ship.
Hardpoints. Ooh, the hardpoints. Zorgon-Peterson are green with envy
The damage output this thing can put out with 4 large plasmas and 2 railguns is going to be unreal.Core modules. The class 6 power distro is going to have a hard time with that many hardpoints. Power plant may also get a bit sweaty and you probaly won't be able to go low emissions for titanbombing.
Aesthetics. Really hoped for more different cockpit than old Python, but externally really good!
Do you mean a 4th large for 6 hard points?
Shield value will be interesting with a lot less room for hrp/mrp.
Or 4 pacifiers. . .Hardpoints. Ooh, the hardpoints. Zorgon-Peterson are green with envy
4 large, 2 medium, and a C6 PP & Distro...
Odd ship. 4 large + 2 medium hardpoints, 6 utility slots. So one more large plus 2 utility slots. Python II degrades both power plant and distributor slots from 7 to 6. Optional internals are really stripped, 6-4-3-2-1-1-1, that's a major downgrade (Python I has 6-6-6-5-5-4-3-3-1-1). No trader obviously, but likely a stealth fighter or something that makes sense elsewhere. What might be the special ability?
I'll definitely buy it anyway for three reasons:
1. Support of the game (because it needs to create revenues to justify its existence)
2. It looks cool!
3. Because I can.
O7,

My PvP skills are woeful but I can’t see them being helped by the internals of the P2. Very little room for HRP and MRPs, some SCB space I suppose but it looks a little lacklustre for me. Trading out, combat (maybe not totally) out, but it doesn’t look a ‘go to’ for combat. Exploration…maybe?
It melts if you try to use all 6 harpoints?
I'm having trouble getting definitive info from the streams. So what's the deal here?
Does the early access come with a pre-built ship, meaning you also get the 0-rebuy in addition to the access itself?
It seems the pre-built pack includes the engineerable, improved 5A SCO. So will this module drop for everyone, or is it itself in early access until August (by being part of the pack)?

I retract my "I'll buy it next week" comment.
Unless the preview ships are not what is going to release, it isn't worth a tenner to play with early, sorry FD, you blew it!

The burning question!
That was unclear on the stream I watched, it was mentioned "both P2 & Pre-build", so I'm assuming they are different beasts and the pre-build costs even more
We shall have to wait & see...
Perhaps the next streamer will do an in-depth look at the ship, including SC performance?
Having run a Python build with the specs of the P2 through Coriolis, it ain't gonna fly as a combat ship, not unless the pilot is uning peashooters and "D" rated shield reinforcements... No way I'd try taking that into a Med CZ, let alone a high, it would be obliterated in minutes!My PvP skills are woeful but I can’t see them being helped by the internals of the P2.

Although it could be fun to gank the others in the squadron for 3 months...
