Dropdhip fan here!!!!
On my most recent account, working his way to credit heaven, just sold the T-7 for a Python. I see the T-7 as a stepping stone. In the end a friend got some really good pirate winged missions, so the Vulture actually made the money for the Python.
The T7 is quite agile for its size and role, I think its yaw is pretty good, or its ptich is bad, never quite worked out which. I f you take paper rather than real shields (it can protect against those hard landings). There are some trade routes around where you can make 7MCR each leg - 2/3 jumps. Makes you about 2-3 hours from the Python in a T-7. They do not last long!

We've decided you're getting a Dropship!
✌
Type-6, Asp Ex (form outpost access) or Type-7 (no outposts) then a Python.
This was one of the major selling points for me. Its got really good firepower...
The Dropship can make for a fun missile boat. 1 large beam and four seekers can make a real mess of enemy ships that try and interdict you while moving cargo or passengers. Its jump range is rarely an issue if you’re just running missions from a home system.
It also sounds amazing, all creaky and drifty. Its got far more character than a lot of other ships...
I’ll have to try it again soon, not been in one for years.
Sidewinder with no modules...FTW
I’ve flown everything but the Beluga (because ha ha up yours Rick) and I’ve given up on both the T7 and the Python.
The T7 is gone because it offers a very specific style of gameplay: the itinerant cat-and-mouse trader. There’s fun in that, no lie, but it’s not my style.
The Python went away after a long long love affair because, honestly, the thing is too useful. It does everything reasonably well. If you want a ship that will give you a shot with every type of gameplay, go python. I don’t, not anymore. Specialized tools are more fun than jackknifes.
And the Krait’s ugly. Neener neener.

I named my original (I own two) Python (with appropriate ship kits and paint job) "Habu".
I own a single Type 7, which is named "The Front Fell Off".
Which should sum up my feelings on this question.
