We Get Early Access to the Python Mk 2 in Elite Dangerous Odyssey + New Pre-Built Ships Packages 

exactly

Thinking if better than 4 medium and one huge. I'd say so, however.

Looks interesting - thanks for sharing this! :D Since I am mostly playing Solo, the Python MKII will probably end up as an AX-ship for me. 4x Large Shards... (plus 2 medium ones if you fit a Weapons stabilizer)... and a very good convergence... might make a good alternative to an AX-Conda. ^^ What bothers me so far: 1.) If I get this right, one can't store any of the Modules from a pre-engineered ship, correct? If this is correct, this is... odd. It's not like I will spend millions of ARX to get specific modules. ;) 2.) That 5a SCO FSD: If the ONLY way getting your hands on that Module is via buying a Pre-build Ship... that IS actually a d...uck-move. That being said: I kinda hope we are going to get A-Rated SCO-FSD via tech-brokers. I have no problem with them being pay-materials-2-buy; there are still a lot of Titan Drive Components in the Titan-Wrecks, would be kinda odd to only have them being in the game for one singular Community Event. o_0 I wonder if FDev is going to miss this opportunity in order to pay-wall modules. This would really alienate a lot of players... and alienated player are... not ~very~ likely to spend more money on the game... *stares FDev dead in the eyes* ... wouldn't they....? 👁👁 If they want feedback from you, you can tell them this: There is at least one player * waves * that is not going to hand them any money if money is the only way to get certain modules. Pay-2-get-early-access is no issue for me. Pay_WALLING something is. Fly safe, Commander! :D o7

Interesting about the heat sinks.

So for the base ship of the mk 2 can you outfit it in your liking?

@@ryanmason8593 can be outfitted however you want.

Thanks for the vid! ❤

I really had to remember to shoehorn it in here and there. Kind of like the fin behind the cockpit of the pre-built python MK II.

@HawkesGaming well ur style of presenting information is very unique and you have helped me a great deal in elite, for which I say thankyou Wishing you all the best out there

My mistake absolutely agree with you. Was dreading the slog to upfit a federal dropship and now the Python MK2 will let me take on combat and bounty work while giving me the resources to fit the dropship out

mind sharing your AX build ?

@@LateGameReviewer01 two versions, basic AX is centered around 5x C2 mod shard cannons. A pair of V1 heat sink launchers, C3 stabilizer, G5 hull modules, a couple module re enforcements, thrusters are G5A dirty drags. The power plant is over charged. Shut down neutralizer of course. For the record this is not an AXI approved meta cold orbit build. This rig is for my favored Leron Jenkins impressions. Its fine against basis and cyclops. Try this kind of self cooking build on a hydra…. Get used to the rebuy screen. The other version is built for titan bombing, and works…. Ok. That one is running 3C3 enhances AX racks (vanilla i did not bother engineering them) a C2 nanite torpedo rack, and a C2 heat vent beam laser. I have a vanilla C3 prismo (shields help with hiding among asteroids or the unseen caustic mine in the maelstrom). Standard G5A dirty drag drives, armored power plant on this one, 2x caustic sinks, a pulse neutralizer, and a V1 heat sink launcher. Ive got more than enough credits that I don’t really care about repair limpits. I get 2 or three core attacks in before I become space debris, but it’s enough for me. I ran a clipper for a few titan attack runs and oddly enough it was the only ship I got all the vents with in one go. The python 2 im rigging for titan attacks only for now. The thing boosts to 570 and my hull is over 2500. Im running the crazy expensive “reflective plating” and engineered armor modules. The extra speed and maneuverability are very nice. Plus the thing handles way better at low wake using the “over charge” than anything else i tried those FSDs on. Weapon convergence is excellent on the P2.

Doing great thanks for asking!

that ship is basically two vultures and more!

Congrats Commander! You are one of the lucky winners! To claim your ship skin simply join my official discord channel and send me a direct PM with your RU-vid username and some random comment. To ensure it's you all I need you to do is also reply to this comment on RU-vid with what you sent me over discord. If they match I send over the skin! =)

Thank you so much Commander! I'll try my best! Very big videos incoming soon.

SCO drives will be available for other ships as well, they're gonna release them in all grades like normal FSDs, so save your money if you need! You can't swap prebuilts ship parts onto others. A Type-9 with an SCO drive gets out of planetary gravity hilariously fast! 😂

Feels good!

You know it

@@HawkesGaming I think the clipper just got replaced as the designated ramming boat lol

Normal versions can be unlocked the same day and purchased in August as well. You don't have to buy the prebuilts!

I’d say the pay to win claims are justified based on my understanding. Though I’d say it’s more impactful regarding new players than against older players who have credits built up. And that’s just based on the concept of there being no insurance needed for it. My understanding is that’s only related to the version bought through the cash shop. So is it the worst pay to win? Nah. Does it open the door for worse? Sure. Especially if they continue to put new ships out with early access based on paying.

I had a blast playing alongside my friend while I filmed the best start video I'll be working on shortly. No joke it brought back a lot of feels.

It sparked the hell out of me when i fileld the entire best start with my friend playing just off camera. It was so good on so many levels.

@@HawkesGaming Glory to mankind!

@@nathkar congratulations Commander!!!

Lol Exactly

If I had to guess and bet all my money on a FDL variant I would put all my money on it being one of the next three variants to be released.

Could be, could be. My guess, with the type 8 being announced, is the other two ships will be the Mamba Light and Panther Clipper. A man can dream!

I can see some epic Python MK II and FDL battles in my minds eye. One pays a rebuy one does not Dun Dun Dun lol.

but soon with lower engineering costs and really crossing my fingers for farming methods that dont rely on reloading like crazy to get the mats you want.

ohh yeah someone made it far enough hehe good luck!

I was planning on showing it fully pimped out.

Worth learning like that for sure. When you get good then omg then it's on.

Exactly. I Imagine if this pans out well for fdev selling pre-built ships then will really put focus on pumping out new ships.

It takes minutes to make the credits for the rebuy, so it doesn't even matter.

I said OMG too much but it is quite glorious indeed!

Console user?

@@HawkesGaming Nah, PC. I just don't like the idea of buying a preview of a ship I can just spend my in-game money on later.

Well I have strong feels if Fdev sees a lot of sales they will focus on creating new ships on the regular again.

Im sure it's going to work like any other ship. Not all systems will have them when you buy with in game money but some will. Inara will update once it goes live. If you buy a pre-built from the ARX store you can pull it out from any station. I noticed when I pulled my prebuilt out I had to first pull it out into the actual world. Then I could make it my primary ship. I hope that helps.

With engineering it might really close.

good luck Commander!

You're going to spend at least 5 minutes just boosting around once you get her in space. LOL I'm not even kidding you.
