I just can't help myself. I feel like I need to share just how much having an Anaconda has changed my outlook on the game and how much more fun I have had since I bought it. I have well over 400 hours in the game and I have spent the vast majority of that time being a passenger mission player in order to make alot of money quickly and it was pretty okay. I wasn't exactly having a blast, but it was a nice chill thing to do. No stress. No competitiveness. Just go here and fly there. Simple. Easy.
I had done all of that with the Conda in mind. The very first gameplay I ever saw of the game was of someone using the Conda and I knew then that I wanted the game and I wanted the Conda. So I grinded my butt off the old fashioned way and refused to use exploits like Smeaton, Skimmers etc etc and then I FINALLY got my Conda. I was ecstatic.
Then I threw some passenger cabins in and started moving people like crazy. I was making money like crazy, but it was exactly what I was doing before just on a larger scale and thats not that fun I realized. I had NEVER done any combat outside a few signal sources in my Clipper when I first got it, but I decided that there was no point in owning a ship like the Conda if I wasn't willing to put her through her paces.
And good god its a blast. I was worried about me not knowing anything about combat so I threw on a 6A Shield Gen, A buttload of Shield Boosters and then threw on all turreted weapons and a gimballed multicannon in my Huge slot.
and I feel like a GOD
My rank is technically "Novice" now, but I am doing Dangerous, Elite etc etc with no issues at all. Yeah she handles like a cathedral in Supercruise, but once I get interdicted by my target or interdict them its cake. I just point my ship in their general direction and watch the fireworks. I had an Elite mission where it was a Python and that was the 1st time I thought I might have an issue, but nope. I melted the shields and destroyed the guy in seconds.
I had no idea the game could be this fun once you get one of the Big 3. It changed my whole outlook on the game.
