Ba-Boom! Pacifier Python Mk2 Bounty Hunter build / Elite Dangerous

[@AlbertLias-l7g]

Interesting build once again. Don't forget that your FSD, FSD-Booster and cargohatch don't have to be powered while deploying hardpoints. Swapping one of those hd-shieldboosters for resistance augmented or thermal resistant is the real deal when it comes to adding the finishing touch to your shields. I further recommend using some lasers for enemy shields, because they don't use ammo - this all kinetic build is kinda overkill. And what is a surface scanner doing on a combat ship? ;) This could be another module or hull reinforcement. What I really do like is them frag cannons, especially the pacifiers - I actually got those installed on a multi-purpose-special-ops python mkI just yesterday. Double shot with various experimentals is just the way to go. Keep up the good work. o7

Nice to have the range if needed-

[@christopherdaffron8115]

My current build on my Python MK 2 is four 3C frag cannons (gimbaled) engineered with double shot and screening shell. I also have two 2D beam lasers (gimbaled) engineered with short range. I use the beam lasers to strip off their shields then chew down their hull with the frag cannons. If their hull is low enough, I just finish them off with the beam lasers to save ammo.

[@Theaxolotl46]

Thermal damage is your weakness you should have sacrificed the heatsyncs with shield boosters to counter your -thermal resistance

[@RicardosGaming]

Good point - I will make changes

[@CMDR_CWolfxUK]

My frag build for Python 2 is crippled by poor engineering choices! I just unlocked the Pacifiers, so I am now gathering mats to engineer them. I am impressed with Pacifiers un-engineered as they are! I have added this to my Helpful other commanders playlist on my channel for others to find, love your videos.

Cheers dude

I always have to go Screening Shell on the Pacs - that -50% reload time really up's the DPS. I like Corrosive and Drag Munitions, but in the end I went with a long range SCB-cancelling Hammer... It's nice!

[@simonwells4820]

I use a similar build, but with 3 x plasma on top and a pacifier and 2 frags in the other slots.. Works really well.. 2nd Python is Advanced Plasma's in all size 3 slots, then 2 x Beam lasers or frags in the size 2 slots. Depends on my usage, big ships is build 2, small ships is build number 1. Both are tons of fun..

[@RicardosGaming]

Is this a OP build for the python mk2??

[@KingArthurFleck]

I have a similar build but I don't have the pacifiers, yet. 4 lrg frags, two OC with incendiary, 1 OC with drag and 1 OC with corrosive is enough to wipe shields in the first volley and for the 2 med hardpoints I have rails with long range and super penetrator. During the latest community goal bounty hunting I never lost my shields LOL

[@mookithehamster5639]

OC + incendiary on all except one medium that would have high cap corrosive. Yours is ok but this is superior in terms of dps.

[@alanlovatt]

I built mine with engineered standard frag cannons, got battered by a ferdy twice, got my revenge with my type 10, must practice more 😂

[@cd5sircoupe]

I picked up I think six Pacifiers a little while ago, still don't know what I'm going to put them on. I'm apparently not allowed to have a Python mk2, being on console... my FDL is currently set up for all multicannons, my Krait is 2 large beams, 2 packhounds, and 1 large multi. Honestly I think I'm gonna make a Pacifier Chief. My trader Python currently has 3 of the Pacifiers still equipped from when I bought them, but that ship is going to flip between a cargo hauler & a miner. My other Python is a Robigo runner.

[@phil__1097]

I got my Python 2 setup like yours. Works great for hunting 😂

[@RicardosGaming]

works really really well

[@Frozenwinter84]

I'd swap the hull reinforcements for SCBs especially if you are running prismatics.

[@ixxilus3684]

whoa, where did you find a military grade composite for the python mk2?

[@RicardosGaming]

Jameson memorial

[@fishstix4209]

Looks like a fun build

[@AtlasGaming4k]

For non thargoids all hull and module reinforcements should be guardian. Also wouldn’t put a fad booster on any military ship. Use carrier to move it.

[@CMDR_ALNASL]

Ricardo, nice PvE build, but wouldn't last 30 seconds in PvP match against an experienced CMDR.

[@RicardosGaming]

Possibly

[@CMDR_ALNASL]

@@RicardosGaming Give it a go against one of the Gankers in Shinrarta and see how it goes... For Science!

[@Tepnox]

Fed Corvette with mostly BEAM-Lasers. No ammo needed. Game-over for PVE pirates - simple as that. Otherwise would go for the Anaconda. ;D Bounty-Hunting is lame compared to AX-combat in my opinion. Checked the bounty hunting for the community goal, very dull and not risky at all. I think they need to up some higher risk / payout pirate missions for us players with fully engineered ships. Payout is not great - would maybe recommend for materials or testing some ship fittings. Nothing else.
