From playing in Beta - things may have changed.
Vulture - yes, its entry point should be about 20 million. But at that cost I don't need to be ar$ing about with a power plant only slightly better than the Viper. In Beta at least the Vulture was a dream to fly but you could barely do anything interesting with it. It's like spending 20k on a car and having cruise control, sat nav and power assisted steering disable if you turn on the radio. Not interested basically.
FDL - You can see why the Python was nerfed. In combat it's somewhere between the viper and python used to be, has a completely pointless Huge weapon you'd only use for specialist use that kills your power. And don't mention the screen struts that block key information. Probably it's price is right for what it is, at its core, but once more there's nothing here I'm going to grind to own. Nothing I want to own or feel is going to be worthwhile building on.
I want a ship I enjoy flying, not one I have to be in the systems menu every five minutes enabling and disabling modules so I can run a kill warrant. Not for 20 or 100 million.
