I think the Python Mk II needs some very minor tweaks - my 2p worth (hint, levity)

[Rat Catcher]

It ain't a Python, maybe the Asp Sout 2?

It needs:
C7 / C8 Power Plant
C7/ C8 Distro
C7 Thrusters and a red pinstripe
C5 Fuel tank
At least 4 C5 Military slots
10 -12 Utility mounts
4 Huge and 2 Large Hardpoints
Large fighter Bay capability
Hull made of the same alloy as the Anaconda

A Hello Kitty paintjob as standard.
And rainbow engine trails, naturally.

I don't want it too overpowered for my visits to Res Sites and Threat 0 USS, so won't insist on adding 2 more Med hardpoints...

ETA: Any other great ideas welcomed...

What are you drinking?

Nothing legal...

Put EDSY in experimental mode and you can create that to your heart's content.

 

[Reggit]

Vulture mk2 with two huge hardpoints!

(Although I suspect there would be a whole bunch of prerequisites to go along with it...not least of which would be a better selection of OP weapons)

 

[Disemboweled Ego]

C5 Fuel tank

This puts it into borderline OP territory and feels greedy imo - you can already sacrifice optional slots to improve your fuel capacity unlike almost all other core modules (except the guardian FSD booster).

What? Are you serious?

This would be absolutely USELESS without the same FTL drive that the Fleet Carrier have.

And it's imperative the new Python has a small ship party hat... tilted to one side for extra shwing.

Now that would be worth paying $$$ for!

you forgot 3 SLF, able to launch all 3 at the same time

 

[Dillon Fallon]

Don't forget the speed and manouverbility. If it can't out turn and out run a Viper mk3 the whole thing is DoA.

 

[Kira Goto]

You're forgetting the mandatory class 8 FSD, it of course needs it. If for no other reason than it seeming to exist in the game without a ship to use it.

 

[HRDiagram]

It can install two shield generators, but they MUST be of different sizes.
Comes with a built in Multilimpet controller and cannot install cargo racks, of any size.

I think it's too unbalanced, though: I believe the red pinstripe has to go.

And don't forget to price the pre-buy appropriately at 55,000 ARX...

There needs to be a ship kit comprised of bones of the various sentient species humanity has made extinct in the ED universe.
LOL, it's hilarious. I mean, yeah, it's not really Python like enough to really call it a Mk II, but it's fine for what it is. You don't have to buy it or use it if you don't want after all. Do we want competing metas or just a new meta.
They clearly put a lot of work into it. I really figured we would just lose an optional and get an extra hard point, a grade up thrusters, and some gimick special power or the like in a vaguely Python like skin..
