Not My Python

My power plant is a B7 not a basic model as I followed the rule of the best I could afford. Hence no novice mistakes ( bar the not enough for insurance ).

Au contraire, the biggest novice mistake possible.. spending your money on shiny upgrades when you couldn't cover your insurance. There really isn't a worse newbie cockup than that in this game. I'm sorry for your loss, but can't pretend that it isn't completely self-inflicted. It's far from clear how someone can play enough to get to a Python without learning the absolute basics like this (assuming that you did earn it yourself, of course).

Always, ALWAYS fly with insurance. I made sure I had enough money to cover my Python at least 2-3 times over when first getting it.

Also to add, consider your insurance before you upgrade too. I'm surprised you didn't consider this despite your claim of 200hrs in ED.

That's the thing with steam played they can open the game and keep it open in backround and get 24/7 game time logged without actually playing it

This is a serious question: why do these threads _always_ get made by python owners? Are python owners like hunters in WoW?

The python is a very nice looking, capable ship, please don't give its pilots this kind of reputation!

I always thought flying without insurance as more of an anaconda thing.

It comes down to this question...

Can you play for 200 hours without seeing the mass disrupted by factor of x message?

Then, assuming the probability of the answer being "no" (close to zero), the follow up question is "is it probable that the player had the nous to work out what it meant or the industry to find out?"

The answer to that question is less predictable. But does tell a story about the subject's "experience".

It took a minute to work out what the hell you were wibbling on about there, but you do make an excellent point.

I always wonder, when people get to a Python/Anaconda without clocking basic game mechanics, if they really did play that much themselves. Admittedly, it's not a very nice situation, to appear to either be a rogue or a fool, but them's the breaks.

Just going by the previous whinge threads on how their beloved anaconda blew up. People think "BIG SHIP HURR" and try to rush it.

Go back further, and you will see the same but for the Asp (maybe during Gamma or not long after release).

I think it is because of the jump in price between it and the Cobra - the rebuy was far higher.

I thought it was Viper pilots complaining how OP the Python is?
