The PvP community has been quietly theorycrafting the optimal build for this thing. I have all of the components needed for the paci/frag build (besides the bulkheads, duh) G5 engineered and sitting in Jameson Memorial's storage ahead of this thing dropping tomorrow. Basically, give me 'bout 20 minutes after the update and I'll be knocking heads.

The ship was just under 50m to buy @ 49,998,353 credits -10% for Jameson station and what ever Elites you have making rebuy roughly 2.5m just for the ship at 95% insurance. The closest ship to the Python Mk II is the Type 10 with 2 small hardpoints in addition. 4 Large and 2 medium is nice. Would be nice to see it next to a Ferdie for comparison fully engineered.

it's kinda crazy how few optional internals it has compared to regular python, basically half, and only 1 6, and no 5's... I would say it's not really a multi-purpose anymore.

[@GhostGiraffe]

That’s right. This is a combat focused ship. Pretty good one too, speed and maneuverability is almost a match for FDL but we’ll see how she does when people get a hold of it

Question: If the use of 16,250 arc's only allows early access to the new Python MKII. Does one have the choice then to purchase with credit's the standard MKII or the Pre-Built? If it's both, how much more is the Pre-Built compared to the standard MkII?

[@GhostGiraffe]

There’s two options: the 16k arq only give you access to purchase the PMKII with in game credits. The more expensive one at around 33k arq gives you a prebuilt ship free to deploy and also the access to buy a regular one in game.

SCO on an A-rated drive? that one can engineer? oh my lord!

[@olegmakogon7447]

SCO G5 even better than V1 pre-engineered

[@garethde-witt6433]

Nice but I wish it had central pilot seating, not a fan of being off centre.

[@ScalerWave]

how do you download the beta

[@luigiistcrazy]

A-rated SCO FSDs with engineering are too OP IMO. Pretty sure F-dev won't actually allow that. If they do, heck, I'll be the first to get back to the bubble to outfit my Explorer with a beefy SCO drive to hop from Planet to planet in seconds. Should make for a HUGE Cr/h improvement for exploration.

[@GhostGiraffe]

I was very surprised

[@vncore496]

Maybe they changed their minds about core gameplay. While old SC is immersive and does have a certain charm to it, I can’t say I cherish those hours (probably in the hundreds by now) spent just staring at the screen waiting to reach my destination.
