Elite Dangerous: Odyssey | Open | Buying and outfitting a Python Mk II

In this video, I'm not well. As I was bored, I decided to buy the new Python Mk II with ARX, and outfit it at Shinrarta Dezhra due to the bug with swapping in modules. That bug has now been fixed with update 18.05. Sorry for the abrupt ending, but I wasn't feeling well enough to continue. There's a follow up live stream that goes through engineering the Python Mk II.

Sorry you’re sick brother! Get well soon.

Hi mate, I'm thinking of buying the Python Mk2 myself I believe you can buy one already engineered, I think it's the red looking one. Can you only unlock it at a certain star port or will it appear at any? I don't have elite status so can't dock at James or wherever you are.

You can buy the Python Mk 2 at any large starport or planetary port with a shipyard. Click on the "Prebuilt Ships" button (which I didn't see during this stream), and buy your ARX and then the ship. The one you mentioned is the fully built one. Fully engineered, it's a great PvE ship, but it will require engineering, so spend some time getting the materials and engineering opened. I have another live stream where I engineer mine.

@vanderaj So, I purchased it, unlocked it no problem, put a fuel scoop in, but to my disappointment it won't let me change the Fuel tank or the storage crait. I'm gutted about that, fuel is going down real fast, I'm constantly looking for a sun to fuel scoop!!. I'm used to my Diamond back explorer which I engineered which goes much further before needing fuel. Gutted because it's a lovely ship but I'm not going to able to get far in it without constantly fuel scooping. I'm now wondering if I sell it I might have enough to buy the Krait or Krait mk2?? I've heard they can go long distances and have good storage space. I can't even fit a landing buggy or landing in this. Might buy the new Diamond back explorer mk 2 also, hopefully it will allow me to travel further.
