Good to hear! I purchased the FDL a few weeks back, and while she was a good ship, she wasn't as robust as I would have liked. It killed stuff pretty quick, but I had a lot of issues with heat management - swapped a lot of gear trying to find a sweet spot. She's been sold, and I need just a little more dough to get the Python. I love my other gals in the garage too (Asp, Cobra, Vulture), and keep them primarily as single function (exploring, combat). The Python may finally get me to jump into some trading, while having the big guns to pew pew when I feel like it.
Python - my first impresion's

- Start date
Watch the Ships Heat mate, right now with a C distrib and C PP you're probably fine (as no doubt the beams run out of juice before you melt) but with 4 pips to weapons and an A class distrib you're quite capable of melting yourself with the triple beams....before I got the A Class PP I ran with a HS Launcher because of those beams
My Pythons in my sig, it's slightly out of date as lately I've been messing around with class 2 turrets as 6 eagles/sideys/courier mixed brat pack forced me out of a High RES yesterday!

Please tell me where you managed to purchase that Prototype Equipment : the fabled Power Disruptor
Exioce system. Miller Terminal
They don't have 7A Power Plant and Shield Generators.OK what is a power disruptor - sound quite disruptive?

Greetings,
I have tactical approach. And i don't have problem's
I can get myself in danger only if i have too much self-confidence.
I'm bought Python with risk.
I ask myself: What if i don't have enough credit for important upgrades.
Important things are: Weapon's, Power Disruptor, Shield Banks and Power plant. < - Starter package

I remove few hardpoints. Cargo and Discovery Scanner. I have no Utilities.
More installed hardpoints = more insurance to pay.
I will install FSD I and KWS only if i need.

...And, i get at last Dangerous combat rank
Right On Commander. Now go shoot some more stuff!
keep your vulture and just save a bit longer to get your python or you will regret it. I do like my python but I ended up rebuying my vulture,, nothing even compares to the vulture for combat. I just use my python when I wanna do a bit of trading or PP.
Congrats on your python. Be careful taking that one out. It won't last long in a PvP environment, even PvE if enough NPC's gang up on you. The Python takes a lot of money to be a truely bad to the bone ship. I run a build very similar to this:
http://www.edshipyard.com/#/L=705,5...,2-B69Y7_6uB6A08I,7k47k47UI7iW7iW4_w7fO7fO9qI
As you can see, it is a very expensive ship to get it to a top notch combat ship.
Good Luck CMDR!
I got mine recently but use it only for trading.
NPCs bounty farming is way better with a Vulture.
I used to fly a dropship which was better than Vulture for killing NPCs at Conflict Zones...against experienced wing of commanders, it was another story of course.
I am very disappointed by the agility of the Python, even with 4 pips to ENG, its pitch is so slow! The Dropship was way better actually
But dat 3 large hardpoints and class 7 distributor though!

3* 3C Fixed Beam laser and 2F Gimbal Multi Canon pair, just imagine combat

It used to be faster and more agile. They nerfed it because it was too strong.
Yep I know about the Python nerf, and I agree with it. I believe the Python was simply too much overpowered initially.
Now it makes the perfect trading ship before the Anaconda. Just wanted to mention that for dogfight, it may not be the best choice, unless you invest a lot.
