The Calamity Hawk has some new duds.
 
New Krait explorer/multi build with teeth

Decided to do the Ancient Guardians mission but was finding the internal module setup on the AspX a little constraining. Then I thought "what if I sold the AspX and did a minimal Krait build, I might just be able to afford one with a 15% discount" (I'm currently based at Diaguandri but there's a krait available close by in LYR space still. I still kept my Vulture because I want to do some more BH with it later. If I need to I guess I could sell that to updgrade the Krait more too.

So I tried it, then added some teeth/maneuverability/speed as a tradeoff for some range.

Liking it so far @ https://s.orbis.zone/s33xV3bS

Think I'll run with this for a while till I can grind engineers to upgrade the FSD for more range, then upgrade the internals more.

The fighter is for fun, I want to do some canyon running in the black. Guess it will also be handy in a tight spot too! Though I could save 15% by getting rid of it as wel (pilot share).

This feels a little like the Millenium Falcon.
 
I was absolutely sure that I wouldn’t buy the ship kit - but after having seen your pictures, Ozram and Adaris, I am absolutely sure that I will - AND the Precision Paint Pack!

FD - can’t you just take all my money now and be done with it! [cry][cry]


;)
 
Just to give you an idea how it looks in the game. Screenshots don't do it justice, this way it looks much better. Some people don't like this kit but I quite like it, especially with tactical grey paint:

A very similar kit selection to me... we differ in our Wings choice if I am not mistaken... I went for the extra pods as opposed to the down flaps.

Still using the Predator Teal scheme as it makes my ship look Guardian in nature... to at least some degree ;)
 
I like it, though probably not as much as my Python, because cargo space. Time will tell.
Good range & handling though, nice armaments, but I find the shields a bit lacking. I guess I'll need a SCB, though that means even less cargo space.
 
Love mine. Flying both Python and Krait in LHS 2441 out of Asimov Landing; Krait for BH in High RES and Python to cash in out of system bounties and carry high payout trade missions. Bought the kit and paint jobs, what a fun ship.

Fly safe and be dangerous, o7 Cmdrs!

I sacrificed middle top mount for turreted hi-cap cannon with dispersal field which allowed me to mount another SB instead of chaff launcher. Gimballed Condas, Pythons and now other Kraits has serious aiming problems, because the cannon scores a hit every 10 seconds :D Yesterday I was interdicted in Eravate by other cmdr, his build was based on five gimballed beam-pulse lasers laden with different effects, he cooked me up a bit and pierced the hull through the shield but generally his gimballs were disoriented all time and and the only thing he could do was to fire in "fixed" mode without having me locked in which isn't easy thing to do especially if you have a deadly SLF on your back. I was pounding him with 2xPA's and 2xlaunchers, though the guy combat logged with 10% of hull :/
Right now I'm using class 2 cannon, but I think would it be even better to downgrade to class 1 because of higher shot velocity and slightly faster rate of fire.

Can’t get enough of this ship. Think I’ll be building a second one soon, but rather that pvp and combat it will be focussed on speed, range and materials collection. With that in mind, I’m choosing a different look for it.

Just a possibility.

I'm really digging all the possibilities people are coming up with, with this new ship kit. Everyone is doing something different; it's really versatile. +rep
 
I’m at the Fed CG with mine now. The more I fly it, the more I realize it truly is the Elite Millennium Falcon (only with a space-Keurig as a bonus).

Yep. Millennium falcon with a Startrek Defiant twist. That’s how it feels to me and I love the thing. Already planning my second one.
