The Python MK2 - Worthy of the Name "Python"? [Elite Dangerous Ship Review]

The Python MK2 - the first new ship in the Elite galaxy for over 6 years. It's Faulcon DeLacy's successor to the venerable Python MK1 - a ship that paved the way for all ships with it's modular internals and arguably the best medium multi-role ship.
It's a fine looking ship, but does 600 years of improvements make it a better ship, or is it an imposter that doesn't deserve to bear the name Python?
Question is, does it feel like a luxury ship?
In this video, I go through my personal impressions on this ship.

I'm glad it's not a Python clone to be fair, a beast of a ship in it's own right. A great first offering, however I'm looking forward to the next in line Type 8.
@gamingsnipsandbits
@gamingsnipsandbits 22 дня назад
I'm hoping the Type-8 maxes out a medium pad to give the Python MK1 some competition in the medium trade area. That way we get the T6 as an entry medium trader, the T7 as an entry large trader, a T8 as the medium trade powerhouse and the T9 as the large trade powerhouse. Then they'll go and release the Panther Clipper LX that'll just dominate large pad trading 😁

@gamingsnipsandbits
@gamingsnipsandbits 17 дней назад
I reckon about 300T - if it's higher than the Type-7 and on a medium pad, it'll make the Type-7 absolutely pointless, as it'll be able to carry more cargo and land at outposts and smaller ground facilities. I'll give FDev something - they've managed to make the T8 look bloody good in the previews - even if it doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the Lakon Transporter range (although it DOES still have the massive glass bulleye at the front)

I find it funny how limited we have become in this game. It just has to be another ship and we are happy... I'd rather see new roles to be honest, new gameplay. Revamp smuggling, rework combat zones, introduce proper salvaging, then provide ships with those roles in mind. The type-8 would be a great salvaging ship. Improve the ship wrecks, to provide gameplay for salvaging, with different methods doing it from the ship and also allowing to leave it and go for a manual job with dedicated tools. Who need another transport?! We have plenty, it would be just a different shape and skin. But again, as long as we get something we are content, we have come this far, asking anything in this game "would bee too complicated for those poor guys to implement" so let be happy with wathever bone they throw at us.

My guess to why it's not a multirole ship is to not make the mk1 obsolete, which would make all the people that invested all the time, effort and money (in-game and real) very unhappy

For the life of me, I don't understand how these developers overlook immersion when it comes to these spaceships. If a ship has a co-pilot seat or other stations, simply put NPCs in them to give the feel of having crew. They can have simple animations at whatever station they are at and they don't have to do anything else.

Great video. One thing I don't get is why in all the reviews everybody focuses so much on the prices of stuff, given how easy it is to make money in the game.... Was it not as easy as it is today years ago?
@gamingsnipsandbits
@gamingsnipsandbits 21 день назад
Credits are easy, but for me at least, it's a simple way of benchmarking a ship's worth compared to its rivals - so for example, going off Coriolis, the Mamba is valued at 56mil, compared to the 51mil of the FDL - both are designed for combat, but is the Mamba worth the extra 5 mil? Not really given it's handling, and other shortcomings (despite the increased DPS) so IMO it's on the more expensive end of reasonable. If that makes any sense 😆
@cobaltviper
@cobaltviper 5 часов назад
It used to be a bit of a pain to make money yeah (even having a billion credits was a lot in like 2015 or so) but currently it's almost trivial. For most players ship and module cost, and rebuy cost, are pretty irrelevant.

I've been having a great time with the Mk II, flying it exclusively until it came time to beat up on Hadad. But while its obvious lineage invites comparison with the Mk I, the use cases for the two ships are sufficiently different that I don't see the point. The Python is a multirole ship. The Mk II is not. I love them both and have plenty of use for both.
@gamingsnipsandbits
@gamingsnipsandbits 22 дня назад
Agreed there are plenty of use cases for both ships - and the MK1 isn't made obsolete by the MK2 - but I do wonder if it would be better as a standalone, entirely new model of ship - a "Copperhead" as it were (assuming we'd still be running snake names) - that way the inevitable comparisons wouldn't need to be drawn in the first place 🙂

Thanks for that, I'll check it out. I did have a play with a frag cannon build - seemed to work pretty well, but I've never got on on with "regular" cannons - frags work for close up shotgun fun and multis work well for laying into a target repeatedly - but I've never found a good spot for standard cannons that can't be done better by something else.

Why does FDev care about Elite all of a sudden?
@thatgregguy
@thatgregguy 8 дней назад
They care now because FDEV f’ed up. The lack of care, we as a community for Elite Dangerous have witnessed, also happened in all of their games across the board. FDEV lost, I think, $750 mil in stock valuation slowly after the release of Odyssey but they messed all of their games up. Due to the massive failure they have decided to work on and support their core games in which Elite is one of those core games. They cannot continue to do what they were doing before or they will be out of business. So naturally we are now getting support for Elite.

The ship makes no sense. How does a ship that is physically larger than a python mk1 have a smaller power plant, smaller power distributor, smaller fuel tank, and not even a third of the optional internal space? is the ship hollow? or does the extra 2 utility slots and single extra hardpoint really take up half of the ship?

Sir, Sir. No, Sir. I must protest. You extracted the urine with the Asp Scout. The Asp Scout is the master of High Grade Emissions. It is the best ship in the game for High Grade Emissions. Now, the much lauded Cobra can not claim to be the best ship in the game at anything. It's claim to fame is that it can do everything...badly. This plebe looks forward to kicking the tyres of the Python Mk II in a few months. Can you help me out as you mentioned it? I was massively underwhelmed by the FDL. I used a Huge Multi Cannon Overcharged - Auto Loader and the rest beams, Long Range - Thermal Vent. It just seems to take forever to take a ship down compared to the Python. Sticking to gimballed weapons (can't hit a cows arse with a banjo for Fixed Weapons) what loadout will get the best out of the FDL?

Personally I'd drop the auto-loader and replace with corrosive to help drag the hull down quicker if you're after a mix of multis and beams. Or swap it so the Class 4 is a Long Range Thermal Vent Beam and then fill the other slots with corrosive and incendiary overcharged MCs. I was originally going to mention the Sidewinder at the start, but felt that it gets more use than the AspS - not mocking it at all, just wanted to remind people it exists 😉

Python mk2 isn't anything special. It can't take a beating. At all. You're dead within seconds once your shields go down, it's lack luster with heat generation. It's power modules are underwhelming by a long, long shot. It doesn't really have the power to be a shield tank. Weapon placement isn't ideal, if you can get to the fact that it's under powered and under gunned, and under shielded. The mk1 will completely outlast the mk2 in any kind of combat, thargoid included. I actually moved on to the conda for combat like I had originally intended. Kinda want my money back tbh.
