If you don't like what I said, don't watch my stuff. If you leave a comment about Trump, I will shadowban you. No warnings.
What happened?
@@MeUngaBungaButYouAreWorst This isn't a democracy. It's a TH-cam channel. And I rule with an iron joystick.
@@Maverick-kk2qb A flood of people who want me to care that they're unsubbing because I don't like Trump.
You shouldn't set people on fire. Skin graphs don't grow on trees...
They grow on people.
I should go..
@@GabeBlack I'm gonna let this one slide. :-D
"If I'm hauling cargo or passengers I don't have a reason not to use my Anaconda." I suppose there's always that large slot at outposts.
And flying large ships is booooring haha.
I guess I'm just a sucker for the speed and manoeuvrability!
The python bought me every other ship I own. I learned about HIP 8444 on Reddit. I was still in a type 6 at that point. I spent a few days grinding straight up to a python. I went down to 8444, and had trading elite by the end of the week. And a Cutter.
And you know, the obscene cost difference? Lol mining has skewed all these frame of references. He kinda nailed it in his Asp x video. The Cobra, the Asp and the python were just straight up better for a long time at their price point. Like, when you are grinding you don't have money for an Anaconda for hauling. And you must likely can't afford 2 primary ships. So a ship that can do literally everything better or marginally worse then specialized ships for the same price point is gonna be the reason you buy it. The Anaconda used to be prohibitively expensive when they insta nerfed huge money making schemes. Then along comes core and panite mining to shift our frame of reference so we choke back the carrier costs.
its also prettier
@@AltoStratusX1 - *"Then along comes core and panite mining to shift our frame of reference so we choke back the carrier costs."*
Meh.. Surface-mining LTDiamonds in the triple hotspot at Borann A2 generates WAY more cash, way faster.
The Python is a swiss army knife. Its the ship you get when you want to do everything. If I had to sell all my other ships and keep one, it would be the Python.
I had to think about this. At first I agreed with you, but after a while, I came to the conclusion that the Anaconda was a better choice for my only ship scenario. I have a lot of money tied up in ships, and I've flown them all at one time or another. I originally used my python for combat, until I could afford an anaconda. I used my python for exploration for a long time. I bought a krait phantom to use for exploration and it's now my dedicated exploration ship. I use the python for doing rescue missions now. I used it for grinding a ton of Federal and Imperial rank, as well as getting rep for smaller factions. For combat, I have a Vulture, a krait mkII, a FDL, and a corvette. For mining, I use an anaconda and sometimes a cutter. For trading I use a cutter. For doing in bubble exploring and chasing degraded emissions and that sort of thing, I have a clipper, which is my favorite hot rod. I have a viper set up for going to guardian sites to grind for materials. I'm currently setting up a type-10 for going after thargoids, but might switch to another ship for that role.
@@therealstubot The Anaconda is very good and like you, I have just about every ship and each one has a dedicated task or role. Out of all the ships, the Python (and in some cases the Krait) can do just about everything very well. The Anaconda is basically the large version of the Python with the only downside being its size. Too big for outpost and its an easy target.
Corvette can do everything too. It has the agility, strength, internals, hardpoints. It’s just awkward. Except exploring, but exploring isn’t really doing anything
@@greenthunder1000 The corvette jump range is complete crap and its really slow. Yes, it's nimble, has lots of shields, armor and internal space. So the corvette can do everything as long as everything is combat. Don't get me wrong, I love my corvette, it's hands down the most awesome combat ship I own. But doing trading with it? Or exploration? Never. I might try mining with mine though, if I could bring myself to dismantle the architecture of death I've constructed. Even mining requires a lot of jumping, and I would not look forward to that. But it would be sweet bumping around in the rocks.
@@greenthunder1000 The Corvette is a bit on the slow side and can be outmatched in firepower by the Conda. Shields are weaker than the Cutter. Armor lower than the Conda. Jump range is the lowest of all the big ships.
It's really built for combat.
"This is a tank, moonlighting as a delivery van" LMAO!!
Does anyone else hear "The Y-wing is the work horse of the rebel fleet. It's not quick or flashy but it gets the job done..." in their heads when listening to this guy?
This... This is what a top comment is supposed to look like.
Yes! I freaking loved that game, and he absolutely has the vibe of the Rogue Squadron ship select voiceover guy!
Love your video, though I disagree with your closing statement, it is an amazing ship, yes for the late game player it's not useful, but for the one starting out it's amazing, you said youd rather haul in an Anaconda and fight in a Krait, but that's because you have enough money to outfit both of those ships, what if you dont? You start out with a Python, you can do it all and earn enough money to specialize your fleet and then the Python becomes a paperweight.
I haul and mine in a Cutter.
I fight in a Corvette.
I explore/do errands like engineering and materials in an Anaconda
I deepcore in a Python until I find something better, that's all I use my Python for now, I used to use it for everything, until I got better ships for each job.
The Python got me my fleet, if anything I feel like that's its role.
Oh yeah, next ship? The eagle, imperial eagle or Vulture.
Could not agree more. My Python built my fleet and ranks.
It's still very usefull because it's medium with a large cargo and weapon capabilities, so if you need to do missions or cg's where the best option would be to dock at an outpost, you'll be glad you have that python.
I too am feeling this. I still have my python, but it's a stripped back runner. If I need to take mission cargo to an outpost I'll generally use my python for that. No weapons, heavy shields, but due to the weapon removal I can downgrade the power plant too. For it's size it really shifts! And it runs cool (illegal salvage anyone...?)
I use a type 10 for deep core... I'm late game. And I'm finally outfitting a python. For strictly gathering mats. It's gotta do some combat. A moon buggy, and surface mining. As well a full compliment of sensors... I can't find a better smaller ship to do the job. And my krait is an anti xeno
Yup. My Python built my fleet pretty much as well. Love that ship so much. It was a huge jump in power once i got it. And it hauled the money in cause it could do everything I needed until I got better ships for each role.
I've got mine set up as a deep core miner. Abrasion blaster and seismic charge launcher in the medium hard points to crack asteroids. 192 cargo space to store all those shiny void opals and low temperature diamonds... and 3 large hard points to tell pirates where they can shove their demands. ;)
I love my Python. In it I can transport >300 million in cargo... with a smile.
very much this
I'm running the same build.
I finally bought my Python the other night. And for someone who loves bouncing around from combat and trading roles, this thing is perfect and it doesn't break the bank. I named mine The Red Shadow and she's going to aid me in getting my ticket punched to Jameson Memorial.
I've build mine as my first real mining ship. It's a lot of fun in that regard and a hold full of void opals is a really nice cash-in.
That's fair. For me, it just felt wrong to use the ship for mining. But I totally understand how it could be an epic miner.
I've always thought of the Python as a large ship in a medium ship's body.
My first medium ship. Used it 4 minig. It made me a literal fortune.
The Python is the ultimate smuggler's machine. Its handling, cargo capacity, and ability to land on platforms makes it king in my mind for that kind of work. So--still very much a viable machine.
I also wondered what my python was good for (other than smuggling into stations with only medium pads)
Then Frontier released the new mining patch.
And there it was - the Python shines as probably the best mining ship out there with more than enough cargo space and hardpoints for mining equipment and still 2 large weapons for fending off pirates
This thing is a beast for mining. She’s the king of queens. The monte cristco
I concur. I use my conda for just about everything, exploring, trading, hauling stuff. But my trusty python handles the mining, and handles it very very well. For as big as she is, she is a nimble beast.
I have my Python aptly named Sisyphus (The Greek king doomed to push a boulder uphill for eternity), she is kitted out pretty much exactly as you described, and, as a deep core miner, she easily hauls in over a hundred million credits per load
curious in your opionion here: what makes you feel like the python is better than the krait at mining?
@@JamesOfKS It has an extra class 6 optional internal, which allows you to use it for cargo, and opens up the other slots for more limpets etc
"I can't give you a good reason to buy it now"
Three words: Robigo. Passenger. Missions.
When I started playing E:D years ago, the Python was my dream ship almost entirely because of how it looks. The green and gray plus the sleek yet angular hull drew me in. After getting it, I did some hauling and light combat before I got bored of E:D. Now I've gotten back into the game and decided not have a one-size-fits-all with my Python, but build a fleet like many do. For now the Python is sitting pretty in a hangar, but I know I will find a reason to bust it out again some day (for fighting or hauling or smuggling or bounty hunting or who knows what). I just think it's too pretty and I love how it can do so many things, even if it's not the best at any particular thing--that's the point of a multipurpose ship anyway.
For someone like me who isn't a min/maxer, the Python is a very loveable ship, whether you use it for just one thing or it really is your jack of all trades.
Your home station claxon sounds! The station is gonna blow. You're sprinting for the docks to lift off, you can only save one ship, the rest are gonna burn with the station. If we ignore the monetary value of the big three I suspect most of us are lifting off in a Python.
I loved my Python it's stylish and functional, then I got an Anaconda for cargo a Krait for general purpose and a challenger for combat and I no longer needed my Python. But look at how many ships it took to fill the roll, Pythons are awesome ships for the commander who's just starting out. Can you review the Keelback, don't know why but I just love the look of it, I use mine as a mining ship and it's made me more credits than all my other ships put together. Congratulations on the 1000 subs.
I use type 10 for that... It's my middle finger to thieves.
@@emilyhofland8219 lol i sacrificed half the cargo and threw in a fighter bay on the keelback makes it good for short safe mining trips
Two words... core mining. Plenty of power, decent laden range, maneuverable and small enough for the tight spots, all the slots for the necessary modules with lots of cargo space left over. All that and it fits on a medium pad.
Don't you feel just a little bad using it as a miner though? I know I did.
You still shadow banning people on this video?
I started out in elite 3 months ago and find myself relistening to your videos while traveling to think about my ship collection. Love it and thank you for so poetically and honestly describing ships. So yeah, glad I invested in Krait mk 2 and anaconda. Good balance there.
I used the Python extensively when I was still making my up the Federation ranks and taking any mission I could get my hands on for experience, rep, materials and credits.
Now that I'm an established Commander with a respectable bank account and fleet of ships at my disposal I find I don't have a place for it.
I respect the Python but I too have ships I prefer to use for each of the various mission types. So while the Python is fantastic as your first "high dollar", top shelf medium capable of handling any task you set it too (with a little module swapping) there are ships capable of doing it better as a true specialist for any of those tasks.
Quick question whatt and pritney a refrence to pratt and whitney the people who made engines for aircraft like the sr71 blackbird
Designed be Watt and Pritney!?
I love how that’s just mentioned once in ED law, it’s an easter egg hardly anyone will ever notice, let alone understand.
I have 3 of them. One for mining, one for Passengers in Ribino, and one for rescue missions from bases being attacked by Thargoids. I never do combat in it. I use the FDL and Corvette for that.
Keep up the good work! I enjoy your take on the different ships. I'm always looking for a new ship build!
The Python definitely still has a good niche role as a mission running ship. It can handle more cargo than the Krait and can land at the outpost stations where so many missions take you (unlike the Anaconda). It's a superb armed merchantmen. My "merchant" Python regularly massacres the pirate anacondas that try to interdict me during missions (for extra bounties and engineering materials). It's also a great choice (build slightly differently) for evacuating starports.
For combat and core mining, I prefer the Krait Mk2 but honestly, the Python's not bad either. I consider both to be some of the best balanced ships in the game and own more than one of each. Like the Anaconda, the Python's got excellent flexibility.
Man this dude could get me hyped about getting cancer good job with the vids
Don't buy 1,,,buy 2. I did. Yeah i love my Conda and Vette, but Pythons are the workhorse of the Medium landing pad.
I bought 3 lol 😆 😅
The python is my daily driver because it can do everything I'd want it to do without changing more than 1 or 2 modules. Haul 96 tons for a mission while still knocking down the 3 pirates the mission sends at you while still being fun to fly and kill in while being the best multirole ship ever.
When you become an artist with a Swiss army knife, you are truly free.
I should be in game, but I am here watching the 8th video of yours in a row! :) These are freaking awesome - well shot, well narrated, not long. Appreciate the work you put into these @pilot - thank you! PS - love the term pocket-Anaconda.
Just now realized that "Whatt&Pritney" comes from "Pratt & Whitney", one of the largest US jet engine manufacturers
Step 1: Cargo spec Python
Step 2: HIP 8444 - Bliss Base
Step 3: Palladium delivery missions
Step 4: Profit
Went from spending my last credits on a python and all the cargo racks to the big 3 in a day
is this still valid? Currently am running Robigo for about 7mil per run
Is it still valid?
This video has made me want to pick up a Python, when I get to that point. If nothing else, just to have it as a backbone multipurpose workhorse for my fleet.
... but it also did get me to very strongly consider a Krait.
You're the "top gear" reviewer type when it comes to elite dangerous
Thank you!
I have mine set up as an armed cargo hauler with SRV. It has the firepower, shield, armour, jumprange and biggest cargo for doing any mission in the bubble.
Just jumping around accepting stuff as i like, best ship!
Very anti climactic lol “The Python is a great ship!... that no body needs.” Lol
Outgrew mine, but when I had it, I used it for everything, trading, bounty hunting, smuggling. Gave it a neon paint job, named it the "Patrick Nagel Overdrive". Fell in love with it so hard I couldn't bear to sell it when I bought a new ship, at a time when to me, every credit mattered.
Orange Man Bad, still living rent-free twelve hundred years in the future.
He's not orange, he's just "alternatively white"
Triggered
Some CMDR pirates that killed me back when I still cared a lot about getting killed flew this ship, so I developed a strong aversion. I avoided getting if for a long time, but a few months back I finally bought it. For what? BGS manipulation. Python is a medium pad ship that can be configured for vast variety of missions without having to swap modules. So if I just want to chain missions to support a faction for a hour or two, Python is the best ship.
I didn't really enjoy the my time in the Python, but it's such a great ship at everything that I couldn't resist using it. I wasn't engineering at the time, so switching roles was as simple as switching internals and emptying / loading the hardpoints as needed. I disagree that there's "no reason" to fly it, though. Maybe that's true from a numerical standpoint, but each ship has its own character and the Python is no exception. On top of that individuality, you get a ship that, while not the best at everything, is at least an honorable mention that can fit on a medium sized pad. Excellent ship and yet another excellent video.
Dude your videos are and have been the best so far on TH-cam. Like it's basically you, obsidian ant, cmdr exegious and down to earth astronomy as the top imo.
I have such complicated feelings about this ship. I ground my way to my Python, the Nightwind, fairly quickly, thanks to one of Hawkes Gaming's guides. I was so stoked to get it. And yet, I find it a hard ship to love. I don't like how it handles, and my one experience taking it into combat was deeply unsatisfactory. Admittedly, that was very early on, and between experience I've gained fitting ships plus engineering, I'm sure I could make it brilliant in combat, but what's the point, with an Anaconda and FDL in my hangar. The more play, the less I fly this ship.
And yet...without her, I would have none of it. No 'conda, no FDL, no Phantom. It is exactly what Hawkes always claims it to be: An express ticket to vast interstellar riches, in almost any way that strikes your fancy. To this day, if I need credits, this ship provides, tirelessly, without issue or pause, whether it's deep core mining or Robigo-Sothis passenger runs. I may not love it, but I respect it immensely.
The Pilot called the Anaconda the foundations of an empire, but I'm not sure I agree. I feel like the Anaconda and her large sisters, the Cutter and Corvette, are the shining towers of your personal empire, but I think the Python is the true foundation. In the early to mid-game, it gets what you need, however you need to get it. And that flexibility is what truly makes the Python your springboard to the endgame ships
As good as the Krait MKII undoubtedly is I reckon a lot of old time ED commanders would stick with the Faithful old Python. Hell this was the ship that I used to get my Anaconda and I would certainly buy one again once I've got more of the engineers unlocked. :)
Could you possibly put your Python build (specifically the one where you show the internals at 2:15) in the description of this video or in the reply to my comment please? I'm just interested is maintaining that jump range on a combat build.
Good one, Commander!
What bothers me a lot is, that Frontier does not care for balance.
They do not balance the ships versus other ships.
They do not give ships specific roles where they are better then others.
Yes, all ships can do all jobs in Elite.
You can use a Hauler for Combat, you can use an Eagle as an Explorer, you can use a Sidewinder as a Hauler. (Ha!, See what I did there? ;))
And yes, I picked those 3 ships specifically to hightlight two points.
First of all:
We have 3 major branches in Elite: Exploration, Transportation, Combat.
All other jobs are basically sub-branches of those 3.
This should serves as a guidline for designing ships.
And yes, there are multi-role or multi-purpose ships that have no specific jobs in mind.
Like the Anaconda or Python, or even the Cobra.
But those should be designed to be Jacks of all Trades and Masters of none.
The Anaconda is such a Multirole-Ship. And it is NOT A Jack of all Trades, it is a MASTER of all trades.
Thats bad design if ever I saw it.
Frontier should really buff other ships (not nerf the Anaconda), to make them viable.
And second of all:
I picked the Hauler, Eagle and Sidewinder as examples, to highlight on thing:
That a lot of ships become obsolete, once you have enough money.
That is also bad design.
Yes, I still use the Eagle for combat - but it is not efficient, when compared to other Combat-Ships.
I use it for sentimental reasons. And because it is a challange to make it work.
But I think there should be better reasons than just sentimental ones, when it comes to choosing a ship for a task.
Money should NOT be a reason to pick a ship.
Especially when considering how fast you can make money, if you know what to do.
I just bought a Python recently and to be honest , i love it !!
I made a quick hello to the Engineers to up its mediocre jump range , but it's so pleasant to fly :D
It's a monster in combat , unless you take on smaller and more agile ships , in which case it makes me regret no flying my Vulture , but apart from that , i'm in love with the Python :P
Put the bottom large on a turret and it might help with smaller ships
I've had Kraits, FDLs, Condas, Cutters, Clippers, Gunships. I keep coming back to the the Python. 'Nuff said.
If the Krait had the extra slot, that would be my multipurpose ship. As it stands, Python for general mission running, Krait for combat, Phantom for exploring. And well, the Conda, I have a hard time getting used to any of the large ships, they're just too sluggish for me to enjoy.
It have been a pleasure to hear such a well told story. As for me - the piton will always be in my heart.
I love that the game really focuses on player flying ability, rather than, 'this player has better equipment so they'll win every time'. Sure, a ship's equipment plays a major part, but in the end, a bad pilot will lose to a good pilot every time, regardless of ship or equipment. That's how these types of games should be.
I’ve just converted my Robigo Mines passenger Python to a fast and very efficient mining vessel. I can get to and from my carrier very quickly and with its agility can quickly find the good rocks to mine. Long live the Python. o7
I use mine to run passengers at Robigo to farm some credits or manufactured materials in a mindless fashion. It might only be set up to haul people 2-4 minutes out and then back but I always enjoy flying it
I had the same predicament regarding my Pythons role in my fleet after the Krait MK2 was released but I solved it. The Python is one hell of a mining ship!
I have a Python decked out for deep core mining. It's perfect for it. 192 units of cargo, 2 seismic charge launchers close to center line, and abrasion blaster right on center, enough shields to take an absolute pounding from asteroids and pirates alike, decent jump range and still has room for 2 guns when I don't feel like de-assing the area just because some pirate wants my void opals.
I own both. The Krait was my go to for combat missions with light multirole capability, and it wrecked has-res siyes and chased acobdrels across the sector. The python became my indusstrial workhorse, a miner and trader, but with enough weapons to defend itself.
I use it for deep core mining right now. Full mining hardpoints with my weapon modules stored nearby, or only core mining hardpoints with multi-cannons. Either way no pirate is robbing me.
And it's just an awesome ship anyway.
A true multi-role legend of a ship!
Is it as good a Bounty Hunter as an FDL? No.
Combat Zones vs the Corvette? No.
Explorer vs Asp/DBX/Phantom? No.
Trader vs Cutter? No.
Mining? Sure, but there’s better.
But, it CAN do all these things. And it does them all well.
This is the perfect mid-game ship, it opens up EVERYTHING.
If you could only have one ship...
You missed 4 words from your closing statement
"Its a great ship that nobody needs.... EXCEPT DEEP CORE MINERS"
No other ship can top deep core mining than a python. PERIOD!!!
I'm currently using a Phantom. What would the Python add to my mining?
John Vanderbeck more cargo space and therefore less time travelling and more time mining. Also with more shields and hull mean when running from pirates, you’re more likely to live. And it’s still manoeuvrable enough to do the core mining
This all said, whilst the phantom has no where the cargo space, it does compensate with increased jump range so it wouldn’t need to jump as much
@@LordHeartNight The Phantom is also faster which helps get between rocks when you are spending a lot of time searching, and honestly cargo space isn't my issue. I have plenty of space to go out and spend an hour or two in the rings. If anything the weak spot of my Phantom is that I have no way of fighting back if I get attacked. All I can do is run.
@@JohnVanderbeck The speed is marginal and its only noticable if you decide to go running around with your cargo hatch open
That said with a decent distributor, you can still power 2 long rang beam lasers on 2 pips in weapons so you could fight off NPCs off ok
But then, if you meet a human pilot, fighting isnt ever an option in the first place
Doesn't matter what ship I'm in if a python enters the arena I keep my eyes peeled.
Bro I was soooooo close to subscribing until you made the Donald Trump comment. :(. I hope you do well bro, you make some good videos.
Happy travels...
If that statement got under your skin, you better not watch CDR Windwalker's "Patrolling the RES like the U.S./MEX Boarder." video.... It's current politics bashing with a lot of humor.....☻
@@qm2gee thanks for the heads up, I will make sure to steer clear😁
Yeah these days comments like that polarize people. Great video but that was unnecessary and not good humor for everyone especially in this political climate.
Sure, if you want to specialize, there's a specific ship that is best suited for just about anything you want to make a life long career of. But if you want to be able to do just about anything with only a very few module swaps. And do surprisingly well at that anything. Then yeah, you need a Python.
I bought a Python... because I already owned a Krait.
I just recently settled into Colonia and and didn't want to wait the 66 hours for my Krait to get crated up shipped out here ( or that the S&H charges are more than the ship costs. ) . I was tempted to purchase a Beluga and try my hand at hauling passengers again, but I noticed there was a ton of outposts in the area so I opted for the medium pad friendly ship. I could've bought a second Krait, but I'm not at the point where I want duplicates in my fleet.
Overall it's a good ship. It doesn't have the charm or the coffee pot that the Krait offers, but it feels familiar. If you've been in a Sidewinder, and Cobra, then the Python feels like the bigger brother it was made to be. After playing hours in Flight Simulator 2020, the double seat cockpit feels traditional and perhaps even a bit more realistic for a ship of it's size. I'm mostly just using it for cargo hauling in a near stock configuration since outfitting isn't as easy out here.. Maybe I'll brake down and use eddb or something to find gear, but I'll try just keeping my eye out for a while.
Overall I think it's a good ship, and I can see why for many it would be the perfect Goldilocks ship... I'll give it some time.
They Python has become my dedicated mining ship. It's a true multi-purpose vessel as it's good at pretty much everything.
I love my Python. I will never sell it off for anything else. Now I love it even more for its legacy.
You truly love something when you don't mind its faults.
Just like I never sold my Type 6, and I bought back my Hauler, they have their uses, but the Type 9 and the DBX do their jobs better. I do like flying them every now and again though
Python was the first ship I ever lost in combat, and the first one that nearly bankrupted me from the loss. But it was also the ship that convinced me to rebuild myself from disaster, because it was the perfect balance of just plated enough and just fast enough that the few times I did fail interdiction, I managed to worm my way out of it again and again
225 Tonnes of cargo on a medium pad. Great for hauling in Colonia.
I use my Python exclusively for the Robigo run. Stripped and engineered, it makes a solid 90 million in an hour.
Python's my core miner.
It gets the job done.
It hauls enough void opals to make a fortune each trip.
And if pirates fuck with you, this thing makes them fuck off with their tail between their legs.
This is the best ship for core mining imo. 196 cargo space while having a shield and a fsd booster while being a medium sized ship. Also best ship for robigo passenger missions. This ain't a bling ship, it's a workhorse towards unlimited money.
Mirciulicăăăăăă!
One area the krait is clearly superior to the python in the the cockpit. The offset seating position and claustrophobia in the python cockpit is a huge contrast to either krait.
TRUMP 2020
Well... I love my Python, it has done a bit of everything and I can say that that my " Nicolette" had a huge part helping me where I'm at today in Elite, got my Anaconda and then my Corvette mostly because of it, grinding ranks and making 5 to 10 million in cargo missions that would take me 10 minutes or less to complete each time I left the station, used it for combat too it was great, but now I use it for cargo. Going through the mail slot speeding is really easy when I have some illicit stuff and it can dock anywhere, sure I can use the T9 or the Anaconda for cargo but there are a lot of mission that requires a medium size dock and some times waiting to get a cargo mission that has a large landing pad takes too long so most of the time I go for the Python.
The Krait MK II I got 2 of those, one for combat/salvage stuff etc... and other for mining , great ship too but I still prefer the Python for cargo missions. Each ship in my fleet has a specific role like most of us, and my Python" Nicolette" is the fast money making rank grinding ship.
Did I mention that it helped me getting my Cutter too about 2 weeks ago ?
No mission is important. Don't do the ones that require a medium ship.
@@emilyhofland8219 my medium ship got me the Anaconda, Corvette and the Cutter
@@emilyhofland8219 1 conda for combat, 1 conda for exploration, Corvette for com bat and cutter for wing missions that I do solo. And still use the Python
@@s.b.andm.g.4045 I'm still at one per. Kind of a Horder when it comes to unlocking content.
But I've certainly noticed a benefit to some duplicates. I'd be better off with another cutter than using my t9 for cargo still. But I like the t9, and it's got a lot of engineering done. And I don't have every ship yet, still 2 in bubble engineers to unlock. I'll worry about duplicates after I have a vette, two more alliance ships, mamba and phantom. And have tuned one for thargoids.

I'm really enjoying your videos, I like how you give a balanced review of the good and bad points of each ship, and do it in an entertaining way.
I'd love to see a review about the Cutter, which seems like a ship with a lot of limits, but I love it anyway.
It's my dedicated mining ship. It does it perfectly. Sure a type 9 can hold more, but by the time I fill that 128t cargo hold, I'm ready to do something else lol.
The python is a ship that deserves a mkII.
Now what that mkII would offer...a fighter bay. Only reason it doesn't have one it because its a 600 year old design
I'll agree with that.
The Python looks stunning though. Krait has nothing on its style.
Anyone here remember the pre-nerf python from the Gamma version of the pre-release? Thing had shields on par with a conda and the speed and maneuverability of a viper mkIII. A pre-nerf python from back then was practically on par with a well engineered python of today. Thing was a monster.
I bought a Python specifically to mine Void Opals, and to my mind, it's still the best option in that role. Enough hardpoints to mount your mining gear, and still have enough teeth to fight free of any NPC rats you might encounter, plus a larger hold size than an Asp and enough internal slots to carry all your mining gear AND a fuel scoop in case the best market for your haul happens to be further away than you'd really like. Plus it's maneuverable enough and fast enough that mining doesn't feel like a chore, like it can with a bigger ship. It's the ship that made mining fun for me.
I just switched from a Type 6 to a Python. In a few days I've gone from merchant all the way up half way through entrepreneur running tritium back and forth. Honestly, I've never been more happy with an upgrade and I now have it completely A rated with almost 150 million credits in the bank. Between this and my Cobra Mk III I'm pretty sure I'm a Faulcon deLacy fan forever.
You lost me at lighting Trump on Fire.
Bye. Airlock is that way.

What I like more about your videos is the depth on the politics on the game. I have a dificult time on diving that deep while in game, and it speaks against Frontier
There are two kinds of people.
The ones who want to be the best in one thing.
And the ones who enjoy being the second best at everything.
The python is for the latter.
python good orange man bad
If you are out in Colonia, the Python is a must have. It also beats other med ships hands down for mission running for BGS work. Time and time again you will see cargo missions at outposts that pay 5+ million to deliver 180 tons of a good to another outpost. The python is the only ship in the game that can do those missions. The Krait is a IMO a better fighter but if it's combat you are after you are nothing but a clay pigeon up against an FDL, FAS, Chieftian or Mamba.
Lost me with the politic comment
You snowflake....🤣🤣🤣
I was expecting to see some complaints about the cockpit. As a newish player who rewarded myself with a python after asp explorer, the first thing i said when i entered the cockpit was 'i hate my life' because i knew i would be using this ship for a long time and i was doomed with that asymmetrical, view-blocking cockpit window with hard-to-see holographic displays under starlight because the furnishing under them shines like crazy.
Yup, I only have 4 of them. A Fuel Scoop for my Carrier. A Dedicated Miner pre positioned. A perfect Robigo Runs ship, pre positioned. Best combat, Mech Material Gathering in Combat and High Grade Emissions.
Carriers have fuel scoops, now?
@@johnpooky84 Yes they do. It is a laser mining Python hehe. I don't use the Python for High Grade Emissions any more. I use the worst ship in the game, Asp Scout. it is a perfect one trick pony for HGIs. Unlike everybody's favourite Cobra which does not a single thing better than another ship in the same price range. Asp Scout yay! Cobra, boo!
@@williamvorkosigan5151Ah, a mining Python for a fuel scoop, ok. I guess I've been doing it wrong by using my mining Cutter.
@@johnpooky84 Nope, that is going to be great. I started laser mining in a Cutter but it takes two hours to fill it up. Python, only one hour and easier to fly. More about my attention span for mining. Two hours is too long for me.
You've made me want to play ED again, lol!
My Python has found its niche as a high value cargo hauler and miner. Enough space to carry heavy loads, but enough teeth to shake off would be pirates. The Fed Gunship has taken its place in my fleet as the medium combat ship.
Um maybe not burn the president...
Great video! Would you have any thoughts on the MK-2 Python?
Might be weird to say but after watching every one of your review videos multiple times they now help me sleep
I have to say I've owned an anaconda and a cutter and a few smaller ships but i adore my engineered krait it really is the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.....plus it has the best cockpit.
There is no better ship for core asteroid mining or passenger missions to medium pads. I have one set up for each job. This ship is for me.
I prefer the Krait Mk2 for combat but nothing beats the Python for mining and luxury trading. The Anaconda is an abomination, it should have its hull weight increased by 30 percent. The magic hull makes no sense.
you had me till the trump part
I'm right there with you bud and hell i'm Canadian
I chose Krait over Python mainly because of the fighter bay and better pitch rate. Mining in the open has its surprises. And being able to drop that fighter and do a permanent boost to or get away from a fight you cant afford, feels so much better. And the cockpit of the Krait Mk 2 is amazing. There is very little danger mining/hauling in solo.
So yes the Python is a good ship. But after 3 good mining runs. You can buy other great specialized ships.
1. Combat: Krait's ONLY real advantage was not mentioned in the video: the ability to carry fighters. I can't understand why Python doesn't have it. But if you consider that a ship is not always just for combat, Python is more suitable for those who also carry out trade missions and get pirates out of the way.
2. Trade: As I said above, Python is the ideal ship to carry out trade missions, both to transport and to protect cargo. An Anaconda also fits in here, however she needs a large platform and misses greats opportunities in outposts. Not to mention the cost of the ship and its modules.
3. This makes the Python at least top 3 for both categories COMBINED. Maybe top 1. That makes it the kind of ship everyone needs, even for who can have lots of ships on dock.
python looks perfect for me. maybe if I was doing a co-op save I would use a krayt, one of us could be the fighter pilot
2:57 dude, leave political opinions out of this. Especially ones rooted in false sentiment.
The video is 11 months old relax
Those fights would have gone a lot better if he'd have diverted power to the weapon system and had 3 large burst lasers to just peel the shield off the ship
Its so tough to find any videos that talk about the trading aspects, i just got a 44,000 pero ton loop on the finder with a M landing pad, this python is literally the best and only choice to make half of what i make on my type 9, and for someone 17 percent away from elite this is a time game rn, so yeah I think the python is useful for being the best medium trade ship in the entire game
