Nice video and great choice of music. I can't help feeling the scale is a little off though when you look at the end and see the size of the Tomcat compared to the Aircraft Carrier, although that could be down to perspective.

It never occurred to me that the Python and Type 7 were roughly the same size width and length but the Python can land at outposts. And the Eagle was considerably larger than I expected. So was the Vulture.
 
How the hell does Python land on medium pad?! It look's too big both in game and that chart everytime I think about it!

The Anaconda and Orca are too long for medium pads, the Clipper is too wide, the T-7 is too tall, and the T-9 is too everything. But the Python is juuuuust right. It's a very handy size.

I am flying a FAS at the moment, and it just about squeezes into the hanger height-wise.

I know, but it's carrying cappacity, & firepower make it seem like it should be large then a physical pic side-by-side make it even harder to believe! The ship be too good man! :p

The python is pretty expensive... how does it fair in combat? i've always grouped it with the same way i see cobras or diamondbacks... fodder. but if there's combat potential - id think about throwing down on one.

Well, Commander pirates seem to prefer it. That could indicate it is a decent combat vessel.

Handle's like a Cobra, biger bite than FAS or Vulture(2 medium mount's perfectly placed for rail gun's also), haul's like a T7. Doesn't explore the best though.
