Pre+nerf Python stats
- Thread starter her3sy
- Start date
I don't recall offhand, but I would suggest looking for some of Kornelius Briedis' early videos on You Tube.

There may be an earlier review as well.
EDIT: This one will take you back to a different era

None of the websites had those figures at the time. I'm not sure I recall any being used in forum threads.
Are you talking about the imaginary scandal that came up when the bars changed but the numbers behind them stayed the same?
Mentioned in the video
oh those times....the python felt like an eagle with shields of a cutter and firepower like a corvette^^
Mentioned in the video
Pretty much. I actually decided to partake in the great Seeking Luxuries Unicorn Run™ just so that I could buy one and use experience it for a week before the great Nerf™. It was an epic ship, but still over-nerfed, in my opinion.

Mentioned in the video
Yes. Exactly.
Oh.. those were great times. There was no ship I feared. No situation. I wish I could stand on the command deck of that ship again..
But it shone too brightly..
I believe I read a dev post somewhere that actually said that the numbers had been changed and why they had been changed without going into the actual numbers. So the nerf was just not only to bars to make them look pretty in the outfitting screen.
Watching that last video had me wishing I could throw away the current version of this game and play that one.
It was also kind of sad when I realized that the game doesn't appear to have progressed very far from the environment seen in that video. But I guess it depends on your definition of progression.

I disagree
The Python was an absurd ship with absurd capabilities.
For the sake of the game in general the Python is better the way it is now.
It still is the king of the medium pad. It has no competition in that niche whatsoever.
And it can go everywhere, dock everywhere, and do everything quite well.
It is the ultimate versatile ship.
This, ten times over and then some!
Cool. We agree to disagree.
"The Python was an absurd ship with absurd capabilities". Oh, you mean like the conda is now with it's stupid mass/cargo capacity/jump range?
And if the Python is so great at everything (which I personally believe btw), why do so many bich and complain about the Python and go out of their way to point out how much better ship XYZ is?
(yes, I'm stirring the pot a bit, but am curious as to the replies)

By what percentage did the nerf bat hit?
I did the same thing.
All the questions on pitch are answered in one of the videos. I think it was like 3 secs. for a boosted 180. The 4 pips rotation was also timed in one of them.
It was pretty big - well over 30% to shields and thrusters, and that wasn't all. It had stronger shields than an anaconda, and handled like a Viper in terms of flight model, boosted to well over 400 (450 from memory?), it was a seriously epic ship - truly overpowered at the time, and it did need a bit of. A balance - but FD have a habit of wildly swing from polar opposites rather than small adjustments when it comes to "balance".
Keep in mind, at the time, making money was hard, there were very few large ships around - a player in an anaconda was a rare sight, and just about required a message to the CMDR flying it asking them how they liked it. the Python was not too far short of that status, I did not see many of them, and was the only one in my group to have one, and very rarely saw another.
