So, I'm a couple of million off the asking price, but of course that doesn't mean i can buy it.
Obviously on top of the asking price I have to have enough to cover the insurance (pref twice), and also enough capital to trade a full cargo hold of high end goods, before I even think about upgrades.
Have a T7 at the moment, 200t's and 16ly jump range and want to switch to the Python as soon as it becomes a viable option to trade, due to the extra cargo capability and therefore extra earning.
Obviously the end goal is to fully upgrade it, but thats going to take a while, but hauling 280ish cargo vs 200 is going to speed that up, and i am aware that with only basic upgrades its not going to be fantastic to start with.
So questions...
1) what class fsd do you need to get a 15ly jump range with 280ish cargo, if it is indeed possible, and how much does it cost?
2) Realistically, what other upgrades to you have to buy, just to make it a space cow comparable to a T7 but with that extra cargo capacity?
I'm trying to work out where the cross over point is financially, ie where its sensible to change between the two, because the extra earning capability vs the upgrades needed to make it work on the Python, no point buying it until I have enough credits to be able to upgrade it to be able to make more than what i am in the T7......
Thanks in advance, fb.
