Bought python. Now I understand.

I switched out of a well engineered Gunship to a python (they use nearly all of the same internal parts!)

It’s faster than my Gunship
It’s more maneuverable than my Gunship.
Three large Hardpoints. Two medium. Holy crap...
All of the internal space to fit everything.
21LY jump range loaded out, not 15.5.
Shields. Around 750 with the same g5 thermal modded 6c. Not 400.
Why the hell did I ever fly anything else?


Question 1: combat build.
Three large plasma and two gimballed multis? That heat though.
Or three large multis and two rail guns? That spinup though.

I like to have a couple of fixed weapons. I love rails and plasma, though I’m only really good with the former. I dislike lasers, especially pulse.

Question 2: Powerplant mod, is G1 or G2 armored with an efficient secondary okay? I have enough power for everything so far, 30MW on a 7A is fantastic.

Ah, the memories of the good ol' days when everyone was flying Annies and Pythons with loads of SCB's. Always loved the ship, tanky and fun, even though its maneuverability got nerfed a bit years back. (Tbh it was considered OP at the time lol)

It certainly is a fantastic looking, and with basic engineering, a fantastic flying piece of art. The G5DD breathed new life into this ship for me. Unlocked the prof only right before 2.4
It's quickly replacing my Asp as favorite ship, (except for exploring).

On my PvE mission runner I run two medium multis (unsure of the mod) and three double-shot pacifiers (Cor/Inc/Drag). Makes nice work of anything that crosses my path.

I’m thinking the key to a python is probably G5 modded turret lasers. It’s just too slow for all fixed or gimbals.

When I try one again, it’ll be with two large turrets (beam, long range, reduced thermal load secondaries?) and the rest multi-cannons.

I have three large gimbaled G5 beams and two G2 medium PAs and I can kill anything in PvE. I also have G5 DDs as well. :)
