Monday Madness! Anaconda Anecdotes

Just today actually ..

Entering a station probably slower than I should, an NPC Beluga behind me starts bumping into me, trying to push me aside. 'Oh no you don't!' I think, as we're trying to elbow each other out of the way. End result .. We're both stuck in the slot.

By the time I manage to wriggle free and enter the station, my landing permission has been revoked, I've been charged with trespass and blocking the slot, and promptly dispatched by station defences with a six day dormant bounty as icing on the cake.

I was in equal parts ticked off and amused.

Here's a picture -

Not really a fan of the 'conda. Tried one out in an early beta and wasn't keen on the view from the bridge. It just looks as if you're trying to compensate for something.;). People say that the Adder has poor visibility but with respect to anything slightly below and ahead of you it beats the 'conda hands down. The thing I remember most about my time playing with the 'conda is managing to wedge one sideways in the letterbox.

I have the anaconda two weeks now and I still wonder how to aim for the mailslot to not bump the sides. Everytime I get like soaked up and hit the top although I aimed low.

I managed to land on Achenar 3 without Hull damage but still fail at the Coriolis [haha]

As with whatever you fly, just enable the option which puts a little yellow square at the centre of view and it's impossible to not be able to boost anything perfectly through the mailslot...

Piloting an Anaconda comes with its own min-game!

The Mail Slot Boss

After some practice, I can now slide through the slot with minimal shield bumping, although I still rarely go through "clean".

A number of times now (shame of shames), I must confess to having to resort to combat logging in order to survive :x. I hope the Mail Slot doesn't report me....

The Anaconda is the ship that made wish for spacelegs.
That sweet observation deck on the front and the doors in the side of the cockpit. Feels like is a ship that has a story or something.

Welcome CMDR's,

I trust you all had a good weekend? Well it's Monday again I'm sorry to say, back to the grind of life but fear not because that means it's time for Monday Madness! This week it's all about that huge ship that so many of you love, the Anaconda!

Personally I've never flown one of these ships so I won't be able to contribute to the thread but that shouldn't stop you from posting you favourite image/video/story/joke about this much loved ship. I want to see skins, ship kits and Anaconda's doing incredible things!

As always keep it clean and have fun!

Docking Anaconda is easy:

Sometimes one gets complacend flying a tradeconda, "You have scratched my paint!":

Sometimes you just like being warm:

Basking in the light of HR 1886, which was unreachable before jumponium was introduced, and needed a stripped down exploraconda back then (now RNGineers have changed things):
