it looks like a baby Normandy

Love my corvette, The Royal Fortune named after the flag ship of Bartholomew Black Bart Robert’s. I have it on my console edition sadly and not on my odyssey edition. It’s fully engineered and an absolute hammer, I show up to high CZ’s and clean house truly a beast of a ship. The grind was intense and the engineers grind even worse, it’s not as fast as my FDL by any means but I came from flying a Conda the Adventure Galley and its miles more maneuverable. Love it, if you are a commander looking for a powerful ship that forgives you for sometimes not being the most skilled pilot out on the field, this is it. Happy flying, see you in the black.

For the life of me, I don't understand how these developers overlook immersion when it comes to these spaceships. If a ship has a co-pilot seat or other stations, simply put NPCs in them to give the feel of having crew. They can have simple animations at whatever station they are at and they don't have to do anything else.

Thank you SO much my dude, true heroes don't wear capes

Been watching yer ship reviews. Just finished yer Asp scout one then hit this one up. the little insert on it here made me laugh.

thank you

This ship is actually the best cold running titan bomber with shields.

Great video. One thing I don't get is why in all the reviews everybody focuses so much on the prices of stuff, given how easy it is to make money in the game.... Was it not as easy as it is today years ago?

Py 2 is a Nerf. Thats the truth of it. Once the new toy joy wears off, that when we'll get the real reviews. Especially from those used real money.

I've been having a great time with the Mk II, flying it exclusively until it came time to beat up on Hadad. But while its obvious lineage invites comparison with the Mk I, the use cases for the two ships are sufficiently different that I don't see the point. The Python is a multirole ship. The Mk II is not. I love them both and have plenty of use for both.

sounds a bit shit really

It’s a pure combat ships that’s better than a mamba and worse than an FDL. Shouldn’t be called the Python Mk2. Probably best to just move your Mamba frag cannon PvP / ganking loadout to this

THE SHIP NAME !!!! Monkey Island is goated!!

does this work with a xbox 360 mic?

You realize this is a combat ship (PVP). Optional internal was always going to be limited.

Sir, Sir. No, Sir. I must protest. You extracted the urine with the Asp Scout. The Asp Scout is the master of High Grade Emissions. It is the best ship in the game for High Grade Emissions. Now, the much lauded Cobra can not claim to be the best ship in the game at anything. It's claim to fame is that it can do everything...badly. This plebe looks forward to kicking the tyres of the Python Mk II in a few months. Can you help me out as you mentioned it? I was massively underwhelmed by the FDL. I used a Huge Multi Cannon Overcharged - Auto Loader and the rest beams, Long Range - Thermal Vent. It just seems to take forever to take a ship down compared to the Python. Sticking to gimballed weapons (can't hit a cows arse with a banjo for Fixed Weapons) what loadout will get the best out of the FDL?

Works! Ty

if the mkll had a class 5 optional slot id call it worth the wait but since the optionals are very lacking badly it cant be called a python at all and its very disappointing at best!

I do love the agility of it. Also loving your videos as always, I have a new channel so here is a sub from that too! I made a cannon and a frag build of it - let down by dodgy engineering and sleep deprived skill in my videos! I am going to redo them.

Why does FDev care about Elite all of a sudden?

I'm glad it's not a Python clone to be fair, a beast of a ship in it's own right. A great first offering, however I'm looking forward to the next in line Type 8.

I bet they hid it behind some excessive grind

My guess to why it's not a multirole ship is to not make the mk1 obsolete, which would make all the people that invested all the time, effort and money (in-game and real) very unhappy

Looks like this ship is built as a fast response interceptor. I gotta wait for a few months to get my hands on it.

At least real money for it is temporary. so im fine waiting

Meet, yeet and retreat is the essence of the glorious Mamba…..I have 5.

was the first ship i got and it i still use it as a general purpose ship. it's still speedy, agile, and spacious, but also fits on small pads making it a very fun ship indeed.

Great review o7, but I have to respectfully disagree. I’ve recently brought my dropship out of the garage for some local BGS stuff in a contested system; it’s been a charm. Consistently dropping 10-15 bodies in CZs. I do concede that there’s QUITE the nuance in piloting the ship, I find that Role Playing a wasp while flying around the FLOT is very effective. Enough pips to engines and you can boost engines while lighting someone up with beam lasers indefinitely. And as atrocious as the shields are, investing in a few boosters will keep you at 75% shield strength one on one provided that you’re an experienced pilot and allow that insane hit box to do its thing. This is all PVE though… so yeah lol.

To buy it is ez to upgrade is pain, usualy im mining platinum with type 10 and get 170mil in one go, but damn the grind💀

The Type 6 is the best exploring ship i will ever have. I'm a noob in ED because i started playing in October 2023. Since then i have 640+ hours playtime and i can assure you that roundabout 150+h are in the Type 6 now. My "Jumpin' Jack Flash" is painted in bright orange and i love it to go exploring and do exobiology. He is small enough to land practically everywhere, jumps about 53+ ly and with my new engineered thrusters (338/528m/s) i can easily outrun thargoids when i accidently step over them. I also made my first billion in exobiology with him a few days ago.

Precisely what I needed. Thank you, friend!

Hey mate, i saw you had to poasma acc on the vulture… how ya pull that off?

I couldn't move from DBX to Krait Phantom even after I could have bought all the ships there are. It brought me to Colonia and Sag A and it's just ... home. Never understood talks about fuel scoop. As explorer I would park it into corona of the stars and start FSS, by the time I was finished my heat would be at 60% and my tank full for next jump. Plus, landing it for exobiology is a breeze. Find new land in a boat instead of a cruse ship makes the romance of it much greater.

Is there something wrong with me, but I love how Hauler, Adder and Federal line ships look? That grungy, used future type of look that looks functional and purpose built.

As an FDL pilot, this made me want to invest in a Mamba. I'm curious how a full seeker build would do.

The krait mk2 boost sound tho😍

I can't believe how much like a tiny python this looks like at a glance. Never flown one though

The Corvette is a corvette. Literally. It's the smallest thing short of a capital ship. It's what the Federation sends when they really want a problem to go away but all the big girls are busy.

I have taken my sidewinder into AX and have named it Fool's Dream. Usually I take out just scouts, but recently I've taken down a cyclops with it which is absolutely my crowning achievement. It's in retirement now, stripped of its weapons and boosting at over 700m/s. When I fly it these days, it's usually as a data courier

To this day I haven't decided on a hardpoint configuration. Right now it's 3 beams and 4 rails and it does ok. Frags are next, all of them. But it doesnt feel fast enough, though I suppose we'll see. Looks too good to leave it in storage for long

I like to outfit my clipper for purpose activities, like material farming either in open space or on the surface, interrupting bgs activities, or pretending it can gank and attacking players in something they can actually fight back against, often with flechettes and cannons

Mamba is my combat zone ship of choice. Huge cannon on top, the rest frags. It has teeth for human interlopers and shreds npc ships, and looks good doing it. And it's fast enough of course, to engage in the better part of valor. :)

there is shipyard that gives away one for free, but its far away.

It works, thank you!

I came to this ship late. I built one for AX Recue Pax Missions and it handles surprisingly well. I quite enjoyed it.

Your vulture needs a mechanic. That engine sound like shaking a screw in a pot...

I picked up an Orca a while back. G5 Dirty Drag thrusters, pre-engineered FSD with mass manager, and a C2 FSD booster, and the "Migrant's Respite" has become my favorite ship to use for rescues, especially at burning stations/surface ports. Being able to boost to 640 m/s means I don't have to worry about Scythes or even Basilisks catching me on the way out. My only gripe is the fact that I can carry more passengers in a medium ship like the Python.

Prob my fav ship in the game, and hands down the one I've spent longest in. It's an absolute pig to land on broken ground and forget about really rough ground. But it's taken me right around the galaxy :)

Did a Beagle Point Tour in the orca once, crashed on the way back. Sooo not all good memories, but still a Saud Kruger Fan here Nice video as always, enjoyed it alot
