Is the Python one of the big ships? Or is big meant only those ships which need large landing pads?
Should I bother to grind for Prismatic Shields?

No, it's not a big ship (it's medium). But mine does have prismatics.
Small, medium, and large refer to the landing pads.
It's usually not reffered to as a big ship, but prismatic shields are perfect for the Python anyway.
Yes, I meant it was said several times "prismatic is a must for big ships". What do people think about the python? Is it a "must" for the Python if you want to go shooting things?
Ninja'd and answered the question, thanks.

Prismatics for me. I wouldn’t put them on any small ship except the courier though and it really doesn’t need them.
I run Prismatics on all my ships. They are heavier so keep that in mind for jump range on the ships you add them to.

Lol a couple of cargo runs to deliver some porno mags for ALD doth not a grind make - unless you stop off somewhere on the way...
But yes they’re worth it. More so on big ships.
Remember to stock up for all your needs as you lose access to them once you unpledge.

Yeah but repeating the whole "buy 10, click 'accept', click 'back to menu'" thing sixty four times to fill up a Cutter is pretty-much the dictionary definition of a "grind".
I mean, seriously, is there any sane reason why a player couldn't just take as many as they want and pay the required amount when they click 'accept'?
Oh yeah, I reckon I'd blanked that bit

What about on a combat fit Viper 4? I have plenty of juice to run them.

Absolutely you should get prismatics
No, you absolutely should not "grind" for any PP modules - if your only interest is in obtaining modules, you do it Module Tourist style:
1. Sign up with the Power you desire to gain a module from on Thursday, just after the PP Update.
2. Continue to play as you always do for 3 weeks, 6 days - this will put you on Wednesday, before the tick.
3. Haul 750 tons of Fortification materials to a system that needs it. You can check this on the Power Play interface.
4. Log back in the following day and purchase the module you desire.
If you have a suitable ship, you're talking about 2 trips back and forth hauling materials. If this is "too much grind", you're playing the wrong game.

IMHO they are only worth it if you need to max out a ship cargo capacity or if you're into 1vs1 PvP. Otherwise they consume tons of power and are far too slow to recharge - give me bi-weaves any day.
Speaking as a representative of the glorious Princess Aisling Duval....
Yes they are worth it. The versatility of the Shields and the ability to free up a higher ranked slot by using them is invaluable in many ships in the game.

Personally, I always have "sign up with a PP faction" on my to-do list before I leave on an exploration trip.
That way, it's always ready for me to do the letterboxing part when I get back. [up]
Prismatics x 1000, especially on big ships. Bi-weaves suck unless on a pure hull tank like the FAS or Chiefton. Watching an FDL with bi-weaves get run out of a has rez due to hull damage is hilarious.

I run Prismatics on my Vette, Clipper, Python, and FDL. They are totally worth it. Ships that benefit more from hull tanking with bi-weaves. Chieftain, FAS, Vulture.
I going to have to join her again in the future to get them for my Cutter. I didnt have it when I was pledged to her before.
