and yes the dog was barking🐕

[@AtlasGaming4k]

Holy shit a fully engineered Python II is a bat out of hell... 400m/s without boost... faster turning than anyting other than a fighter... 40LY jump range with SCO.

[@RicardosGaming]

it is a mean machine

[@Tepnox]

And we got a new intro-movie. Seems like Odyssey is no more officially ;D Looking forward to the future.

[@adrianwilliams6577]

Releasing the Python mark 2 in August means we'll be waiting for a year for a better Cutter, the wait doesn't matter as I'm busy. I'm just driving around Dav's Hope picking up engineering materials, I'm dying for a ship with a massive jump range, the engineering material slog grind in Elite Dangerous is epic.

[@RicardosGaming]

well the new SCO drives have a better jump range and can be engineered

[@Tooterbooter]

Speaking of the SCO drives, I’m kinda pissed that the FSD v1 is now obsolete

[@AgentExeider]

@@Tooterbooter Yeah that's weird, it would almost have been better if the SCO ability was engineerable onto existing drives.

[@user-ci2lv2dh6o]

Farming high grade emissions around systems like Kamadhenu, Gateway and other high security or high tech systems is much more efficient than Dav's Hope. Yields only G4+5 mats.

[@sammorrow8420]

you can use limpets at Dav's Hope btw.

[@Tepnox]

The new SCO FSDs are awesome. Sadly it makes the normal and even the pre-engineered FSD obsolete it seems. Had around 71 LY jumprange with a 5A pre-engineered FSD on my Krait Phantom. The 5A SCO FSD with grade 5 increased range and mass manager experimental effect leads to awesome 74,42 LY. Just bonkers! Better buckle up on your materials fellows! AND: the A-type SCOs have less shaking whie SCO is active.

[@danielsayles3523]

yea i noticed that too, going to need to re engineer all that FSD's again. more mat gathering lol

[@Tepnox]

@@danielsayles3523 Damn. My Deep-Space Explorer Anaconda went up from 76 LY (6A) to stunning 82.11 LY (6A SCO)!

[@MrRocksW]

Are the 5A ones available to buy with credits in game? Very nice of so! I assumed that the 5A would only be on the premium ships and that most people would be stuck with the (now engineerable) 5C. I'm very happy if the 5A is available for all my ships!

[@danielsayles3523]

@@MrRocksW you can now buy them in game for Cr, and they are not much more Cr than the current standard versions, so I don't know why they did not just upgrade the current version as the standard version will no longer be used.

[@Sergioosh]

DBS can be built into a powerful PvP ship for small ship tournament :)

[@AtlasGaming4k]

UPDATE I just put a size 6 SCO in an anaconda and fully engineered I get 9% more distance than a fully engineered size 6 previous drive. THAT IS HUGE in taking the Anaconda past 80 jump range (85.6ly). And an extra 9% above the 320ly range using pulsars means an extra 29ly over the past size 6.

[@RicardosGaming]

Sco really is a game changer

[@mgmanten]

I did some basic engineering and took the new ship out for a spin. It was alot of fun. I did alot of relaxed hunting in a corvette before for quite sometime and this was something else. I rammed into an Anaconda and it nearly took a turn for the worst lol.

[@garethcourts3958]

I use a Diamondback Scout for Titan bombing.... I picked up the Python Mk.II Standard package, and had a blast bounty hunting with my mates last night. Very fun ship to fly.

[@andrewmiller4753]

Diamondback Scout is great for air to surface combat.

[@jamesbigglesworth4677]

I have over 12,000 Arxs sitting there from just playing the game, I think 4 pound to get the Python MkII is in my budget :)

[@thespectator1243]

Actually wanted to buy the Python MKII, but the sneaky price increase alienated me.. .again. ^^ It dose not bother me that much that prices increase, but rather how FDev has done it. They should have up'd the price for ARX in the shop, not the prices of the items, because this devaluates all the in game earned ARX plus the ARX one has not spend yet. Pairing the increased buying cost with a big Sale (and announcing that early enough) might have lead people to buy more. Now it seems to be less. ^^ I'll not stop playing the game, because there is still a lot of fun in it. Plus I actually appreciate the work of the actual developers. The management? I am less fan of them... for reasons I doubt I need to reiterate. ^^ o7

[@RicardosGaming]

16000 for the base and then 33k for the Stellar there is a delicate price point to consider - I get it

[@Phalanx443]

@@RicardosGaming Delicate? Yeah, ok.. about as delicate as a sledgehammer.

[@wmgthilgen]

OK the new update has dropped and there's some new ship's available using arc's for an three month early release, which still cost you to purchase in game with credit's. During all the hoopla of what's going to be in the new update, I don't know if it was the various content provider's who sometimes add thing's that FDEV doesn't include such as the number of arcs for the new mkII being some 16,250 vs the more than 16,500 it actually is. There's was or at least I heard via more than one you tube content provider. Going to be some serious change's in engineering. Where as in part one will utilize less material's and will have the ability to gain more material's during game play. It's only been one day, but I'm not hearing anything in regard's engineering being any different.

[@TadiclsOperator]

Im at Sagittarius A I wont be back in the bubble till the Python mk2 get released till everyone gets it

[@tekfunk6299]

Ofc i wait, i have enough ships, and dont even know what to use it for. Regarding AX a full on Multicannon build +TVBeam seems to be the best

[@mikedawe692]

Yep, patience with ED is now inbuilt, I’ll wait to buy the Python 2 in game. It’s got a lot to live up to mind you, the Python mk1 is hands down my favourite ship, a true all rounder that can do just about anything.

[@rocket2739]

18.04 What's not in it : - new gameplay - a proper antialiasing - the same framerate as Legacy 3.8 - the long awaited engineering price changes - powerplay revamp What's in it : - new items for sale for ARX (basically real money)

[@steve6290]

I had the Arx for the Mk2. I want a Paint Job but don't like the 3 on offer. I can wait .

[@cetifoxproductions]

Well.....one annoying thing I've seen in this update is that VR crashes MUCH more frequently. I finally got frustrated and gave up for the night. I'll take another shot at it tonight.

[@CmdrDjBurp-dr5uy]

I like my python mk2. I like the kits and I've got a giant bogey green paint job. That is all. o7 cmdr's 😎👊

[@pikkuraami]

Those SCO Frame Shift Drives are awesome. Unengineered class D SCO has same jump range as unengineered class A normal drive. This means more jump range for us explorers when fitting class A SCO and engineering it. Thankfully I'm a new player and haven't got those pre-engineered FSDs yet. So I can save a few materials there. :D

[@wmgthilgen]

Does the 16,000 plus arc's give one the standard Python MKII or does one still have to utilize their in game credit's. Meaning does one have to pay twice, once with arc's and again with credit's?

[@thebagfather4633]

love the dog barking in the background great vid ok ive jumped on the band wagon and got the python 2 why nice hsip yes going to see if i can get some betetr mods for it as the armor is only light waight

[@RicardosGaming]

keep an eye on the rebuy

[@Torrle]

Pretty good updates all around, I'd say. My bubble bus Hauler gets 68ly range on the new SCO drives! I do wish that the basic unlock of the Python MkII still came with a unique paintjob to show that we still supported the company. The price hikes in the Arx store feel steep.

[@lanceobe6801]

I'll be glad when they fix the bug that when I exit my ship in VR and I'm transported to a gray room with a 2d screen in front of me?.... It's definitely a bug cuz it bugs the hell out of me... Another fix they could work on is being able to park your ship in a station with cargo and use another ship that doesn't have cargo without having to unload every damn thing before you can use it.

[@BrianVaughnVA]

Saving my money for the moment as I have other things I need to buy in real life (voice actor here - need me that cash), plus I'm on a 2+ month in game surveying journey to AH.

[@kevinedward6132]

They should have added new SCO relevant engineering blueprint for example heat and fuel usage instead of the nornal ones, that would ahve kept both drive types relevant. Now SCO is standard and the standard is obsolete.

[@paulkeith9680]

We don't yet know how much range an SCO drive will have engineered- no guarantee it will be the same as a non-sco drive. Equally the heat/fuel usage could make it unsuited for certain roles. Until this has been tested, we don't know.

[@pikkuraami]

@@paulkeith9680 D class SCO drive has same characteristics as A class regular. On top of my head: Unengineered A class SCO has atleast better optimal mass than any FSD module. It can also take engineering mods which make it proportionally better aswell. If I remember correctly that tranlated to 1,5 - 3 Ly longer jump range depending on FSD size. There are also other improvements, but for me jump range increase was main focus.

[@ArpadLukacs]

Waiting till August with the ship, but glad to see Fdev trying to make some money finally. All of what they are doing now to monetize more has been industry pratice for years and it was about time Elite got here. I hope this will speed up development for the game.

The price increases have really given me pause for thought! Frontier is obviously short of cash right now. But I thought their cosmetic items were already overpriced for what they were anyway! So it seems a backward step for me? How anyone that does not live in a first world country is supposed to engage with that is beyond me? So I will not be buying any ARX... Even though I have enough ARX right now to unlock the Python 2, I shall not. I will wait for the fuss to die down an the bugs to be squashed, before deciding? Though at the moment? I think I will wait until August? I may be more interested in spending my ARX on the Type 8 instead? Cheers

[@RicardosGaming]

Wooo good choice

[@AtlasGaming4k]

A fully engineered SCO A FSD drive with mass manager is 0.5% longer flight than the Pre-Engineered older FSD Amazing! So no need to spend all the mats for pre-engineered when a commonly available SCO A grade and some normal engineering will beat it. I had 80.88 light years on DBX with pre-engineered... now I have SCO in there and have 81.08... this SHOULD mean that size 6 and 7 SCO drives will be able to get bigger ships to go further since there are no pre-engineered drives other than size 5 (yes I know a few got them during event)

[@DarkWatcher-Gaming]

Who is the engineer for upgrading the SCO?

[@aerohead02]

Grab your SCO FSD at Shinrarta Dezhra, Jameson Memorial, for your one stop shopping experience and get a 10 percent discount. Then find a technology broker (human) for the upgrade. I noticed not all technology brokers have the ability to upgrade your FSD so make sure you plug it into your navigation map under technology brokers human (should be a yellow dot). You will still need some exotic materials for the upgrade.

I mean, maybe I'm not of the same opinion as most of the playerbase, but I'd be genuinely more inclined to buy ARX if they kept the old prices (or lowered them lmao). Suddenly the value I get for paying the same money has just been halved. I am not getting as much value out of my money as I would've before. This has just made me less likely to buy them. Which sucks, because I've only started playing like two weeks ago. I've just hit 800 ARX that were obtained through gameplay but that's no longer enough to buy a simple ship paintjob. Screw me I guess.

[@slingitsideways]

The one thing I was disappointed with the mk2, is that you can't swap out and store the modules. I've thrown together a AX build in mine. But it would have been nice to have the original modules to switch back in if I wanted to go back to the pre-built config to a bit of pew pew.

[@cetifoxproductions]

BUT, if I understood correctly, if a pre-built ship gets destroyed, you're only out the credits for any upgraded modules, and you can always choose NOT to re-buy those modules in the process. I'm thinking that should get you back to the original build.

[@slingitsideways]

@cetifoxproductions But if you choose not to buy back the upgraded modules with the ship, you lose them don't you? I mean it's not a big deal a few multis, just a QoL thing, that's all I was thinking.

[@guhak]

@@slingitsideways it’s a bit cumbersome but I think you can do it like this: remove any optional / removable things you bought, like weapons or what not, and any core internals replace with an E rated of the cheapest type you can fit (so long as it’ll still fly out of dock). Then blow up and reject the module rebuy. You’ll be out the cost of any of those cheapest possible core internals but otherwise have gotten back the stock ship, and not lost the actual upgrades you used.

[@slingitsideways]

@guhak yeah I that would probably work. It was just more an observation than anything else.

[@cetifoxproductions]

@@slingitsideways So, this could be an interesting test: Buy a pre-built ship, upgrade some modules, then try to "downgrade" them while storing the upgraded modules, then get the ship destroyed....does it give a ship with the pre-built package or with whatever downgraded modules you installed (assuming you don't choose the "with all the modifications" option)? If that works, then you have your answer--upgrade all you want, and if you ever decide to go back to the pre-built package, downgrade the modules--storing the modules you wish to keep--then kill the ship.

[@normski0457]

Am I going to buy the Python Mk 2? On the one hand I wan to support FDev, but have no interest in PvP or PvE. What I've seen of the other ships doesn't really inspire me that much either. Exploration and Exobiology is my main areas of interest, with a bit of mining, trade and a few poorly run missions as and when. Again the ships on offer don't really measure up to what I've already got in all honesty, apart from a few modules, pity you can't transfer them, but I can see why they've done that. Think I might possibly buy the Python as I'm pants at combat.

[@mickbolton2276]

Python Mk 2. First impressions: Unimpressed. If you're gonna stick more weapons and utility slots on a ship it makes no sense to downgrade the Power plant and power distributor. You want to keep your efficient/thermal engineered weapons firing not overheating... PD not adequate. PP barely manages if engineered to max and monstered. Jump range is OK if FSD A rated but maximum 3 jumps before it's self-destruct or fuel rats? No spare slots for fuel tanks. Standard Python is far superior. It can carry 128t+ AND fight its way out of a wet paper bag too.
