Best loadout for a Python? Trade/Combat mix if possible?

As title really, would like to mix a bit of both, will be doing most stuff winged up(2, 3 or 4 of us)

As a retiring Python user, running missions and "tradering", I quite liked:
3 x L gimballed overcharged MC
2 x M gimballed overcharged Frags
4 x SB's
Core internals all a or d grade and eng'd, mil comp hull
optional internals:
3 x size 6 cargo racks (192 tons, plenty for mission boards)
5a prismatics, eng'd
4a SCB
3d HRF
3d MRP
shields 1755mj
hull 2047
top speed 355, boost 463.
Hard enough to keep going under fire, fast enough to flee and packs a punch.

I tend to avoid posting in these threads because the suggestions are generally all over the map, and I can't help but imagine the OP ends up getting overwhelmed and never tries any of them! ;)

One thing I do suggest regardless of anything else...

Make sure you give yourself at least 120t of Cargo Capacity after all is said and done. Ideally, you want to increase that to 180t. The reason is to allow you to take advantage of the "Python Only/Outpost Based" Boom Time Cargo Delivery Missions.

This is a solo mission, not Wing, but it will become a staple of your income earning. I guarantee it. :)

In 3.03, these are currently paying between 4.5 to over 10 Million CR for a simple local A to B cargo run that take on average about 5-10 minutes to complete. (10 minutes if you count the round trip back to the issuing outpost for another mission)

The cargo requirements are either 120t or 180t, with the latter paying the higher reward up to just shy of 10 million credits. You can also opt for (5) Modified Embedded Firmware, BioTech Conductors, or Exquisite Focus Crystals if you prefer.

I have been picking these up the last week from a system named "PIRA", located in Aisling Duval controlled imperial space, not far from her home system of Cubeo.

The issuing outpost is called Kuo Port and is also an Interstellar Factors station.

So whatever you do! Give your Python 180t of cargo capacity and head over to Pira! Your Python will pay for itself in no time just doing these missions. :)

Oh! And in case you are interested in my Python weapons of choice, here they are.

2 x 3C Gimbaled Beam Lasers - G5 Sturdy Mounts with Stripped Down Exp for low heat and unlimited sustained fire.
1 x 3E Turreted Burst Laser - G5 Overcharged Weapon
2 x 2F Turreted Multi-Canons with Emissive Munitions EXP on Port side and Corrosive Shell EXP on Starboard side

7A Power Distributor with G5 Charge Enhanced and Super Conduits upgrades to run it all for as long as you hold down the trigger. :)
