As I mentioned earlier, I've owned quite a few ships (though, not an Anaconda). I forgot to mention that I had previously owned a Sidewinder (of course) and had an Eagle when I restarted my game.
Right now, I've upgraded from a Sidewinder to an Eagle. It is the absolute most fun thing to fly ever. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it. I'm going to stay in my Eagle for as long as I can; I figure it's the best ship in which to learn to dogfight. If only it had a couple of Medium hardpoints.
Of all the ships I owned previously, the Python was my favorite. I outfitted it for mining, boom-time deliveries, some passengers, or whatever else I was in the mood to do, and loved everything about it.
The Fer de Lance is a great ship, but the offset cockpit bothers me (stupid, I know) and the cargo scoop is next to useless because of its placement.
For passenger liner, the Beluga was wonderful, although it costs a fortune to buy and then another fortune to upgrade. But, I had good jump range and when I filled it up with passengers, I averaged around 40M CR per run (which took about 2 hours or so). Plus, I think it's a gorgeous ship.
The Type-9 is the ultimate miner, except it is absofreakinglutely huge and maneuvering around the asteroid belt is a pain - plus it is helpless in a fight. I'm considering a Type-10 Defender for mining, LOL. Just for grins.
Anaconda? I don't know. I'll probably buy one because it's "the thing to do".
