Also one thing that people aren’t talking about is that this ship was built around the new supercharged fsd, and genuinely stays as cool as a cucumber, doesn’t rip your joystick off after a 10 sec burn and at 5000 times the speed of light only burns through 1110 tons per hour. And accelerates faster than a nun on crack and decelerates quicker than a pedo driving past a school.

Thanks for this. I find it interesting that you have no test of lateral thrusters though. As a dedicated Python pilot I can tell you one of the things that makes it stand-out ship is that the Mk I has phenominal vertical thrust performance compared to most other ships. The Python Mk II retained this trait which gives it a lot more maneuvering versatility when compared to an FDL, especially given that it directly competes or out performs the FDL in several categories as outlined in your video here.

The big thing that caught my attention with this ship is just how much firepower it has. It's an obvious competitor to the FDL and Mamba, it's very much in that niche of fast medium ship with limited space inside and lots of utility mounts. It's heavier, but thanks to size 6 thruster still about the same in speed. However! I'd argue it has the most firepower by quite some margin. No huge hard-point mount, but many builds don't make use of that anyway. If you go for frags, it's terrifying, far more firepower than either competitor and about the same speed/maneuverability. It's basically an FDL that traded a huge hardpoint into two large ones and upgrading two mediums to large. If you have all frags and engineer them well this thing is just brutal.

every new gen ships appeared much agile and faster than original models - that's new tech in current Elite's era. No manufacturers able to break game universe's own rule: can't make more massive and faster ship with more internals. For old multipurpose stuff ships like old Python or Krait MkII are good enough but many pilots claimed Python being to sluggish. Right now we have some decent medium ship which can be an opponent to FDL at speed and maneuverings. I see it as improvement since old python able to be a better cargo-ship only

Магчымы толькі шчытавы карабель, але без падтрымкі хілерам у крыле, які будзе падпампоўваць шчыт, ён таксама пражыве нядоўга, да таго ж, будзе надта гарачы і заўважны для таргоідаў.

І Слава Ўкраіне! --- I am not a fan of PVP in the game, but expected from the new Python more as an anti-tharhoid ship. Too bad, but he disappointed me when I saw his anatomy. The set of additional compartments does not contribute to the construction of a cold tank on it and the housing of the ship will be very blazing. Only a shield ship is possible, but without the support of the healer in the wing, which will pour the shield, it will also not live long, besides, it will be too hot and noticeable for trading. In addition, with a good set of hardpoints, it has a weak power plant and a power distributor. So I decided not to buy it, wait on August 1. Glory to Mankind and Glory to Ukraine!

loosing it is*not* analogous to dying in the game: you actually never die in the game thankfuly to remlok tech (your chair in the ship). It's a core lore of ED.

So I'm far from understanding what are you trying to tell. It's not pay 2 win since you are able to get it via ingame activities *even now*: just playing the game and achieving this ARXs (that's how I actually bought it - cause I had ~18k ARXs). Having it with 0cr rebuy means also nothing since its a rebuy for a *stock* ship - add prisma, pacifiers and bulkheadand you'll get up to 5 mils rebuy already (there is not a single point of using the ship unengineered/stock). Game was living for 10 years already and now it gets a second breath with new content arriving. I see no reason to be sad
