My multipurpose anaconda build

I just don't see it working.

The conda can do well at any aspect of the game, but not at the same time.

But if you are going to go ahead with this foolishness, I suggest the A6 Prismatic, it will give you as much shields as the A7 shields, while staying cheaper I believe. And drop the docking Computer for an A2 Interdictor, and replace the higher level interdictor for more shield cell banks.

Again though, that build is confused at best.

I have used this build for the last 2 week's it is good at everything I have yet to loose my shields I have killed hundreds of Npc pirate and 3 wanted players it has also carried me to tycoon trade rank. Ditch the docking computer on a 410 mil cr ship I say no to that as I can only dock small ships without hitting everything in site.

Agree.

That build is a poor trade conda, if you're going to trade cargo space and range is king otherwise why are you bothering? I suppose you could beat up on NPCs in it but if a capable CMD catches you, you're toast.

You just gotta practice man. Anaconda is easy peasy, T9 and Clipper are the brutal ones and I can shoot through the mailslot pretty quick in a Clipper and I don't use a computer on my combat Clipper. If you were grinding straight hours of trade, then keep it, but to give up a compartment because you're afraid of docking it manually? This is a "cowboy up" situation. Hope I don't sound like a jerk.

Of course I change it a little to meet my needs at the time. Such as I find a very good trade route swap in a 4a shield. Sale the scb and indicter and switch kws for an extra shield booster. Need to PvP grab 2 a6 scb keep them off until needed. Need to get somewhere far away grab an a7 power plant and sale the plasma accelerator and scbs. Need to smuggle swap chaff for heatsink. But 90% of the time the weapons and needed internals stay the same.

All you did was make money slower than the average conda pilot, kill things slower than the average conda pilot, and of course, learn to dock all the ships in the game, not the small ones.

About your Tycoon rank, if you got that in two weeks with only that conda, you have unlocked the secrets of time travel sir. If not, your bringing up needless information to try to justify a bad build o.o;;

Also, you need Tycoon rank to even afford that build, meaning, you had Tycoon before you made it.

All in all, it is a confused beast.

Not even gonna comment on the needless posturing about killing three players with it(I thought you were against PvP?)

All in all, any player who has spent 9M on a ship, has enough DPS to drop you in less than a minute man, just compare overall DPS to Shields/regeneration

Again, your 400M beast, might get dropped by a 9M Beast. Food for thought.

Current assets 515 million cr
22% dangerous
2 %tycoon
68% scout
I am not against PvP but rarely encounter anyone in open who will attack an anaconda
I have had my tycoon trade rank for a week and a half all my old trade routes dried up so have been working on combat a bit more
I have also been buying testing out then sale all ships to figure out what I truly want at launch.

So Kantei is sort of right even if the tone is sort of harsh. My question would be, why not optimize everything, all the way, all the time if you can afford it? Are people bounty hunting WHILE trading WHILE exploring etc etc? Because I can only ever seem to do one of those at a time. The only real overlap might be PvP but honestly yes, a pilot in a 10M+ dedicated pvp/combat ship who is out trolling for players could force you to run at the least. In fact you should automatically run if you're not kitted 100% because you can bet that any player who interdicts you will be.

If I'm trading, I'm looking for an escape, not a fight. Or my favorite solution, have two ships with static loadouts you use for different tasks. It can be a pain to buy and sell and reconfig ships every time you change roles, some of the large modules are rarer than others. Maybe keep combat vulture and a max profit trade conda for now until you can afford to just have a full combat and a full trade model both parked and waiting for you. I like having 2 totally different combat ships because they fly totally different, and that's not even a role change.

I'm not saying it is an unusable space heap, but you could make more use of any one role if focused on it, and that will mean much higher profits in trade and combat efficiency. Even its the difference between crushing ships 1 at a time or interdicting wings of 3-5 tasty snacks.

My tone is rather flat filled with concern that what may have worked for the past week, will only get him killed if he decides to fully believe in this build at the wrong place and time.

It will cost him money if he gets caught by someone who has also put as much time into the game as he has, and beyond that, he would be making money slower than the average player with the same access to ships as he does.

Trust me, if there is one thing I respect, it is another players time, and that build, is wasting his :( sorry to be the messenger.

Ahh so your the one filling his head with silly ideas o.o;; Enjoy what you do and don't worry about the criticisms.

http://coriolis.io/outfit/anaconda/...GYdmEZFMaATKi7RA==?bn=Steelix (Confused mode)

That is a little closer to an effective multi-role conda, Fuel rat ready, combat ready(although missing an additional 8 SCB charges), more defense than his build, more DPS, Exploration ready, 96 tons of fuel to out run anything that chases you.

You can do everything but trade in this, and if your trading, you run a 4A(or no shield), and make 10-15 mil an hour. If your not making 9M+ an hour trading in a conda, your are in my opinion, wasting your time.

Ahh corolis didn't save it properly, a shame.

I plead innocence re anaconda build. I haven't owned one but I'd build it either as an armed trader or an exclusive explorer. Doesn't seem to have the credentials for a multi role ship

So a ship you haven't tried, nor have experience with, you are passing judgement on? That does make for a 100% biased opinion completely based on assumptions. Stop guessing, and listen. Your giving him bad advice.

Armed trader seems to be the issue here, either trade or fight, not both at the same time. Other traders will laugh at him as they outperform him, and combat Pilots would blow him out of the sky. And then laugh about it.

"They're all gonna laugh at you" :(

There are quite a few things the conda can do at the same time effectively, but trading + anything else is a waste of time. Your own that is, if your going to trade, then trade.

Your not reinventing the wheel here, you built a square and are confused about why it arrived to the party later than the wheels.

You can swear on it all you like, but it's not even close to effective.

Well if your so knowledgeable then show me a purpose built bounty hunting anaconda that doesn't weigh any more than what I currently have and no beams or bursts with either a fixed huge cannon or plasma accelerator. Yes my build sounds crazy but it works and matches my needs. I keep it light for better handling I keep the 6a shield for low power usage and less weight. I keep scb on board but only use them with my chaff to get away from fights I can't win. With 4 pips to sys I become incredibly hard to even scratch. Because it's so light I can out maneuver most ships.

Sir, as long as you think this is true, I cannot help you.

Also note, you cannot fire half of the weapons you want for your ship, while running 4 into systems, nor are you "out maneuver" anything with 4 pips into systems(your moving at 80km at that point, or boosting, and still slower than everything else in the game).

Your defenses are paper thin, and take a lot longer to recharge than the average ship. Your weapons, are for show and do not function properly with 4 pips into systems, you cut your already low DPS, even lower.

Again, not trying to be mean, just drop the cargo slots, or fill your ship up with them. And if your running Cargo, your not as light as you claim to be, and if your not running Cargo, you would be lighter if your slot was empty.

Please stop making outlandish claims, so I can stop poking holes in it, seriously, this is making me seem like a jerk.

Again your idea doesn't seem crazy, it just seems...nevermind I am done here lol.
