Is the Python Mk 2 worth the cost? YES!!! I bought the Stellar package and changed out a few select modules, then engineered the hell out of it. Now, it shield tanks Anacondas and T-10s. This is a very damn great combat ship.
@@romanivanovich6717 it’s a fine ship, I love blasting pirates in this, was thinking of doing some kind of advanced plasma build too, that may work as they use less distributor, though would want to buddy with the thermal vent beams but they are also juicey… also I like the shotgun build.
guardian hull reinforement gives your ship hull boost and alien damage resistance at cost of power, its alot better to use normal hull reinforcement if you are not fighting thargoids. No energy cost, higher hull health / more resists
I've been running dual Class 3 Thermal Vent Beams and a pair of Class 3 and Class 2 Multicannons (one running Corrosive) and it's truly an incredible ship for ratting or combat zones. I do need to experiment more with other builds, still. Pacifier frags seem the way to go.
Yep Pacifiers would be a fun shotgun, though the Python2 can fit 4 pacifiers so thats my favourite ship for that. The bigger distributer is ideal for juicy beams, I like the plasmas too, with plasma slug you can go a long time and even add the premium ammo for +30% damage, though plasmas are tricky to hit the smaller targets with, so I like to use the beams or the rails to smash them.
@@y_ffordd I'm working with a grade 4 Armored/monstered Power Generator atm for the heat management so anple plasma is a little rough to fit at the moment. It's on my to do list, though. Kinda wish we had class 3 Rails as an alternative. I don't mind the charge and prefer them over Plasma most cases. How much worse is the heat on PAs with the fuel ammo experimental? On Close Range (only up to grade 3) Imperial Hammers firing two at once was enough to bring me from about 30% to almost 80% consistently. And that's with an Armored Power Plant adding extra thermal control!
I just bought Python MkII yesterday. Fitted it PAs and immediately went for engineering. Regretted nearly instantly lol. I should've fitted it with your build. o7 cmdr
@@rezafathoni6363 I tried PAs, didn’t get on well with them with that small distributor, though I needed more engineering and to practice more, should be ok on a Krait2, I liked them on my Vulture best though.
I don't see the point of mixing short and long range weapon. Frag cannons are always close quarter battle , and long range Beam lasers are ...basically pointless. I would have suggest 2 short range beam lasers, (short range beam's will not stress the capacitor and you will be able to fire longer) one "thermal vent" to disperse heat and one "thermal shock" to prevent the pesky pirates to use thermal weapons or boost in attempt to run away.
@@melcorass thanks for your thoughts, I think I mentioned this in the vid, the point is to swat eagles for pirate massacre, which is much easier with LR beams, I have another build with MCs in the description which is better for the larger targets, rails are worth considering too, those with short range and super penetrator and feedback cascade.
4 OC Screening Shell Pacifiers is far better; cuts your reload time in half. You don't need incendiary because of the significant DPS, and your Corrosive should be on a medium Hi-Cap MC versus gimping the ammo capacity of a main battery weapon. The other medium should have a canceling rail; especially considering that SCB's will have you wasting precious ammo.
@@MurkyDregs thanks, I’ll do some changes, with the rail is short range feedback cascade best? Feels like I need a third trigger but can put the pacis and mc on one trigger, the rail On the other.

You basically speed up to over 1000+ c in a few seconds and then enjoy the cruise, reusing SCO every now and then to increase and maintain the high speeds.

Properly used SCO is a Quality of Life improving feature and cuts time to travel between various points tremendously instead of wasting countless hours in normal Supercruise.

Don’t bring that P MK II build to Shinrarta. It will get wrecked over there.
@@thatgregguy I flew out of Shinratah no probs, it’s for pve though, do you have a good pvp build?
@@thatgregguy I should add that I’m not a PvPer on any level, would I be better off with an FDL for PvP? Thinking of wanging rails on my cherished FDL
I think the FDL, if not already, will no longer be the meta in PvP with the Python Mark II out. I have a strong PvP build done in Coriolis which I’ll have complete in game by the middle of the week.
