Give the python an SLF!

[philngraves]

Hyperbole and miss-direction. Well done. The ship is big enough for an SLF and should have one. Simple. You still give up something to carry the fighter bay you know, not asking for additional module space.



There is something wrong, no fighter bay on a ship big enough for one. If you don't want to equip a fighter don't. Simple.

Subjective and presumptuous. The game is designed (failingly) around balance. I understand why, and that balance in a game with pvp and pve is will never truly exist. The fact is you can't have balance when the two planes are on seperate fulcrums.

Oh, and I didn't mention anything about space. Misquote? Maybe the SLF bay would clip into the hardpoint bays, or some such. No clue, not that concerned about it. Fact that it doesn't have one means it most likely never will. Type 7 could use one as well. Gunship is built on the same hull as dropship and assault ship, why not give them fighters too? Oh, and the clipper. hell throw one on the FDL.

Python is the best there is at what it does... which is to say everything in the game, while doing it on a medium pad.

So far. I live in hope. Remember "free Keely"?

Then again the Keelback was never one of the best and over-used ships in the game like the Python is.

A SLF in a Python would lead to Fdev thinking that it was too good and it would get nerfed into oblivion... think about a Python that maneuvers like the FGS.

Personally, I don't think that any medium or small ship should have one... there... I said it.

The cutter is physically big enough for 10 C4 weapons. I therefore demand a cutter with 10 C4 multicannons. Anyone that disagrees with me is employing hyperbole and misdirection, because they can just choose to not use it.

And every 8th shot fires a canister of cheese-wiz that bypasses shields and smears across your hull, clogging heat vents and sticking to your windshield. Huzzah!

Would anyone argue with experimenting, in beta, the Python with an SLF?

Have you not read the past 7 pages sir? There lies your answer to your question.

 

[SpaceScania]

Yeah I am sorry, I just can’t get behind any buffs to the Python. The ship is already in a class all by itself as it stands far above every other medium ship like a Colossus. If anything Frontier needs to give the Python some serious competition.

SLF ? SLF is nosense...
Python needs SRV ... not only one, not only two ... buff all Pythons in game and give them 4 additional slots (SRV restricted) ..
Then real fun begins ... imagine Python and its 8 (4x2) SRVs attacking those bases and skimmers altogether .. lasers all around ... no amo (buffed) ... great battle ... thousands in bounty everywhere ... who cares (nerfed later) ... awesome experience ...

... wait .. maybe 5 SRV slots would be better ?

Adding a silly SLF to a python won't make that much of a difference. And what harm could it do in a beta?

 

[MottiKhan]

Sure, give it a nerfed SLF. Something that turns like a cutter is fast as the corvette and has the weapons of the sidewinder, all stock. Size 6 hangar should be the only option.

The last thing a python needs is a SLF bay. They thing already is the only ship you need. Thats why i hate it and they need to rebalance it.

But he didn't say the python needs an SLF. He said ...

a silly SLF

My compromise above should make everyone happy.

 

[Witcher 7]

This again?

Ether bump the Python to Large Landing pad or no SLF.

It's already the Mini-conda. As much as I love the Python it still needs it's drawbacks.

Not every ship needs to be a carrier type. Especially if you keep pushing for AI wingmates.

Then let the Clipper land on outpost/medium pads since it doesn't have a fighter hanger - makes you wonder how Keelback and FGS with SLF onboard can land on medium pads

You've got your clowns and your srv's mixed up again, haven't you?

The Python with just some mild engineering with an experienced skilled pilot flying skills and advanced fixed weapons can put a hurt on any opponent in the game. I love my engineered rail guns taking out shields at long range before the enemy can get in range then massive mounts of overcharged Multi-Cannons taking out the hull.

'Fighters? We don't need any stinkin' fighters'.

I love Eli Wallach in all his great movies per the 'badges' line. He was born in 1915 and died in 2014 at age 99 in New York City. I miss this amazing actor who could make us believe the part he was playing and always entertained us. Rest well. His famous movie lines will live on forever.

This is a great idea OP! The fighter thing is cool it should be included on nearly every ship in the game.

I demand fighter bays for Sidewinders.

We should have different SLF tiers.

Tier 1 RoF -- Basically a gnat
Tier 2 Rof II -- A gnat with cascading torpedos
Tier 3 SLF -- The real deal. Cutters, Corvettes, T10's, and Anacondas should have 2 piloted by NPC's.

I fly a Python most of the time. And I say no to a SLF.

I don't want to fly the Python all the time.
