Python/Class 6 thruster issue? (Devs please have a look)

They didn't bow to the whiners. They adjusted the Python because it was fulfilling more than it's intended role.

So those of us who spent hours trading to get a Python and tricking it out to a high standard, bought a ship that was rushed and improperly powered/shielded and manoeuvrable because the developers working on the Python didn't know what they were doing. That is the only answer that fits your re-quoting of others claims that the ship was not intended for it's present role. Personally I would think the ship developers need to be re-educated then or the whiners claiming it should be nerfed are both to blame.
Not the poor so and so's who have spent many millions on the craft and are going to see it pretty much devalued to a laker 7. I guess you think they should just suck it up as they are so rich.

I'd like to see the python behave like in the original Elite, they tended to slowly roll and yaw around a bit whilst continuing in the same direction. And tried taking you out with missiles.

The python now behaves like a huge fighter, they have this wierd way of suddenly flipping 180 degrees to come back at you
 
Shields recharge from fail depend of shield capacity.
I did these experiments some time ago but as I remember A grade shild recharges faster than C grade. And if you go lower class it recharges faster. I don't have Python or Clipper now and I'm lazy to buy is you have those you can try.

Unfortunately he is not trying to be funny and even worse there are more people out there like him.
No wonders why this place falls to stupidity more and more.

Could you stop offend other people? Did i call you stupid ? Not. So be so kind, and get some good behaviour lessons.

Recharge from fail is the same on E and A class as i observed. I have tested in on Python (i have A at now, i used D too).

Yesterday i fight with python pvp. I made many mistakes in fight (first fight in clipper from one month) and i lost, but i down Python to 60% hull. Better experienced player than me will crush python with clipper anytime.
And it was not nerfed well armed python....
Let me guess...Python was using gimbaled?
 
Really wouldn't balance the clipper against anything its hardpoints restrict its combat use heavily and everytime it was rolling on its rpg stat table the guy playing "Imperial Clipper" said i'm gonna put that in SPEEEEED!! Yeah SPEEEED!! The python will still be superior in combat to a clipper post nerf but I'm not sure these balance equations ever consider that the clipper can just leave at any moment I'm sure some people here haven't flown a clipper, trust me, it really is that fast!

Like it or not that is a combat advantage, just one that never gets mentioned apparently :/
I like Clipper more than Python if only it could land on outposts it would be ideal for missions.

Woohoo, just bought my Python late last night! I've been working towards it since game release. My dream ship. Of course, my time is precious as I have a job and three kids. All those hours in a terrible trade bus with slow turning and no guns, finally I am in my Lambourghini. So glad I spend so long grinding trade to ... oh wait no. Surely not. <facepalm> Lambourghini turns into a Camper Van.
 
So lets talk about weapon power for the Python. With the nerfs you need stronger weapons. A "heavy weapon platform" needs heave weapons.

Were are the Class3 Multicannons?
Were are the Class3 Rail Guns?
Were are the overcharged weapons?

The python can easily hold energy hungry weapons. Give it to us. When a Python rarely can land a hit, it has to destroy a small ship.

Actually this is a very good point. If you are going to push me into the conda then please give me a choice of weapons. Right now its very limited for C3 slots.
 
So very this!!

I'm working again to get a python as its a nice battleship for some fun if i get bored from trading.

The Python is not a battle ship. It is a trade ship. Its role is to be able to do bulk trading in relatively dangerous regions without fighter escort. It is not supposed to dominated conflict zones. So that is why it is being 'nerfed': it has specs that upset the roster of ships they have planned. FD realises they dropped the ball here and they are fixing it. A dedicated fighter should be able to take on a Python. It will be harder than a T9, but it is possible. There currently is no dedicated battleship in the game, so keep on earning money and just wait for them to be added.

Neither did I offend anyone nor calling you stupid. The ability to read is a bless, isn't it.
It's YOU guys that need some good behavior lessons, because you act like babies that had their candy stolen.

Why can you not accept, that whatever you are trying to do here (whining without providing any real reason or arguments) will NOT help you.
The Python WILL BE adjusted, whether you like it or not. It does not matter, again, it does not matter, at all, what you say here. The changes will be implemented and AFTER that it will still be monitored and adjusted accordingly.

There is no reason for you at all to keep annoying the hell out of people with your demands, because they will not be heard by anyone.
Do you get that into your stubborn head? Stop acting like spoiled children and wait for actual results.

Everything that was worth saying has already been said in this or another thread. There is no reason for you or anyone to keep on the fighting over your toy.
 
Yes. In clipper i Have 438 on boost. On python 383.

In Clipper you can pursuit anybody and leave battle are when is too hot. You decide when you are in or out.
In python you can try to jump out only. Sometimes it is not possible to do it fast (mass lock)

Neither did I offend anyone nor calling you stupid. The ability to read is a bless, isn't it.

Not. But upgraded to ability "read with understanding" is bless. You can still work on it.

I have my opinion, i can write it so i do it.
If devel will consider it - it will be glad, if not - its their decision. Nobody must agree with me, hovewer a lot of people here agree. I can say what i want and you must live with that.

Stop offending, behave better, or get lost.

This type of nerf, by the way, is exactly why I hate online games. In a single player game, you don't get this kind of messing people around. And you don't get griefers and exploiters who fire a missile then dock, etc. etc. Let me enjoy Solo Elite! You can have a separate version of the game where all ships are in a huge rock paper scissors loop regardless of cost if you like?

Take it easy hotshot, I can see a vein pop.
 
FD do a good enough job of nerfing the game without you handing them a list. The Python is exactly what it is, a warship with a modest cargo capacity worthy of the 56 mil price tag. Leave it alone! Can only think posts like these are created by jealous people who can't be bothered to put the time into trading to own one.

Yes I agree with this it should be left alone for CMDR's to use as they wish.
