Hey all, I have noticed there was no thread for the Anaconda and thought that needs to change so without further ado.

This is the Sirona, she is currently outfitted for combat and is very heavily modded. Her jump range caps at 57.33LY and jumps at 21.83 even when fully kitted for combat/running away mostly the latter if i'm honest ;). But up to now she has been kept in one piece ever since I bought her and have made it a personal challenge to myself to keep it that way, with that said I do have a good 8 rebuys just in case!

Her primary role however is Exploration with heat reduction mods (I keep a second Conda as module storage for now). I've had some fun times in this ship and some very scary moments such as this.



And before you ask, yes the fuel bar was the exact same even before the jump luckily I found a very close scoopable star 5LY away. Shutting down everything I could apart from my FSD and thrusters and injected some Jumponium in the FSD to increase the range for good measure. For those that don't know more FSD range means less fuel each jump, so the fuel consumption was so little it wasn't even noticeable. I moved the ship to point at the system and engaged the FSD waiting for it to spool till the very last two bars before boosting (I was completely throttled down to 0% to save what fumes I had left).
It was like getting a drink after a really hot day... except from a very "warm" star.

So that's my Anaconda what about you? :p

I have an Exploration Anaconda as well. Since the release of the other big boats i replaced the Anaconda in other roles with other ships ( i own all 3 big ones and a couple of smaller).

One thing that i did not like about the Anaconda was always its relative small fuel tank for its FSD Size, so i always fit addional fuel tanks. Luckily you got the internal space to do so and with a modded FSD i am still capable of 41+Ly jumps with it.

This is the fitting i use:

As i said earlier, the ship is modded, so the stats are not what it actually is capable of. But this is the basis for it.

Yeah I was trying the 64t, 32t and then a 16t fuel tanks. Just to see which was the best if I wanted to fuel scoop less on a trip. It ended up being a 32 or a 16 depending on what I was doing at the time.

My 'Imperial' Anaconda, my one and only ship. She's fairly well spec'd but only running a 7A power plant since I don't have the funds for the really big one. I'm thinking about grinding *ahem* I mean working on engineer overcharging it a little so I can squeeze a bit more juice and have enough power to run all hard points, since at the moment I don't have enough to run anything in the small hard points.

https://coriolis.io/outfit/anaconda...03032f.Iw18ZlA=.EwBjIRjCdnrlczxA?bn=Loweconda

Has grade 5 modded FSD (gives me about 34LY with above spec), grade 2 dirty drives (boosts to 314m/s) and grade 3 reinforced shields.

Why didn't go with 8C grade? Same power output for third of a price. Lower efficiency rating will be barely noticeable.

Weight. I had the 8C for a while and thought the lower weight would be better for jumps and agility, and it's 10% cooler. With the 100% trade in on modules I figured it as a down payment on the 8A ;)

Took my winnings from a few weeks worth (in game) of gameplay and my rather stellar (if I say so myself) performance in the LFT 133 CG's that have just finished and bought myself my own "Imperial Anaconda".

Now trying to do a little bit of RNGing on her (already got G4 FSD increase that has her up to 30ly) and then to come up with a suitable Imperial name for her!!

So I'm torn on whether to buy an Anaconda or stick with my Python. I'm used to big turret ships, having used the FGS for many months before I reset my save for 2.1.

I'm currently at about 170M in assets. I'm excited for ship launched fighters and it seems like the best option that doesn't involve rep grind or using a Keelback.

What do you guys recommend? How much would I need to buy a survivable Anaconda?

Anyone miss their Python after jumping to the Annie?

Well to buy an Anaconda and battle fit it even in the cheapest way it's around 300 mil give or take. An A-rated battle fit is in the region of 400-500 mil and if you do an extreme build like mine your talking somewhere around 800-900 mil. Here is an A-rated template you can add what weapons you like and you can change the utility mounts around to suit your needs. You also might like to change the sensors/life support too if you desire. In regards to the python, I do miss flying her and the ability to dock at outposts sometimes but I never went back.:)

Hmm not so bothered about battle fitting, more just able to do missions.

I'm used to buying ships at D rate and building them up, not sure if this is feasible with the Annie though. Some ships it's better you wait till you can C grade them and get some powerful turrets (FGS for example).

To be honest I'm not so much a fan of A grading immediately because you don't get a feel of how far your ship has come since you bought it, but if I'm committing suicide by buying a D grade Annie with a few extras then I'll wait :)

Well if you are going more of a multi-purpose build so long as you have decent shields you'll be fine. Maybe this build is more what you need. It's relatively cheap but if you need too, go to li-Yong-rui's systems and get 15% off the modules and the ship. Inara is a good site and can help you find where to go.

If you're looking at mission-running, I'd stick to the python. I have both the Python and the Anaconda but I find myself switching between the two often.
I do love my Annie, but for pure mission running the Python is superior from my point of view. Just look at the missionboard. Often the missions offering the highest pay-out, are about ferrying goods to an outpost. The Conda just can't go thee as she requires a Large pad. If you're looking at he CG's though, the Conda is most certainly superior given her better stock FSD range and tonnage.

Thanks for the responses.

I'm not so bothered about the quantity/quality of missions, just being able to pick them up. If I want cash there are better ways :) This was mainly to get a fighter launching ship that is usable.

Miku, I've played with your build, upgrading the thrusters, slightly downgrading the powerplant & fuelscoop, upgraded the shields and changed some of the utility mounts. It's about 20M cheaper and I'm only about 10M off affording it, does it look ok?

I always buy in Li space ;)

My honest opinion is that you need a bit more cash before you make the switch. But the Annie can do most anything, it's a great ship.
