Ships Ship Progression

General Question, I'm looking at a wide variety of ships. Is there a suggested progression path to take? I'm not a fighter, enjoy mining and trade. Have not joined the beta yet.

I have well equiped Mark IV and Type 7 and $44 mil burning a hole in my pocket.
 
You've got a few choices for your next ship. If you aren't opposed to doing Imperial ranking missions (0-7 isn't too bad), then I suggest the Imperial Clipper as your next ship. It's basically a Type 7 without the flaws.

That is my Clipper mining build. I've engineered her as well, so she zips around at 565, and can take an immense amount of punishment.

Here is a mining build for the Python. It has the same amount of cargo space as the Clipper, but more collector limpets so mining will go faster. She's slower than the Clipper, so interdictions might be a bit of a problem until you can engineer it.

Pros of the Clipper:

Looks

Speed

Agility

Price (ish)

Pros of the Python:

Collection speed

Can land on outposts

Arguably the best medium ship in the game once engineered all the way.

Can't really go wrong with either choice.
