Glen van RossIt's very popular amongst the PvP fliers of our opposition; and the four large hardpoints makes a little more lethal than a Krait.
Hasn't been tested yet, but the speculation is that even a prismo Cutter wouldn't live long enough to bolt from a wing of Pee Mk II's, whereas it is extremely possible for a hauling prismo Cutter to hold up long enough to high-wake from 4-5 FdLs or Kraits.
I'm curious to see those Krait MK II fits...
That's ONLY providing you can use all your weapons at once without your 6A Power Distributor coming short on you.
You haven't been experimenting, I have, no speculation there and the informations I gave are perfectly relevant for this reason, for info I have spent my time gathering Materials and engineering first the Python MK II, then optimizing the Krait MK II.
I don't hold religion on what PvP flyers are saying especially if its untested speculation, between 6 and 7 A there is no need for photo finish, what matters to me is what I know and have seen with my own eyes.
It's all very well to have 4 X 3C Multi-cannon [Fixed] but it comes to a point where it's not even relevant if you can't get the target's shields down fast enough, and at this level the Krait MK II is better, as not only you don't see your main lasers cutting down but you also can keep boosting at the same time.
That's the difference between what a 6A and a 7A Power Distributor allows you to do, there's no way around this fact even for those who keep thinking they can beat the laws of physics.
It came to a point where I experimented with an engineered 7D Power Distributor because not only I gain weight but also it is enought to provide your lasers with enough power to take your target shields before using your cannons.
In a JOUST engagement I'd love to see one of those Python II lase their target for as long as a Krait MK II can with a proper fit, what good is a 3C Beam Laser if you can't use it without running out of power?
I have tested the Python MK II with all sort of Class 6, the Krait MK II with Class 6 and 7, everywhere there is an advantage to be otained I tested the combination, Weapon Focused, Engine Focused and at this level the KRAIT MK II come on top, no question about it, I doubt the same team designed the Python MK II.
So I'm cerain that those flying this ship will come to face this limitation sooner than later, it is far better not to have it, a Class 7 Power distributor offers you not only the flexibility of the weaponry (thus tactic) you can use (in my case Beam Lasers) but also doesn't force you to chose beteen Weapons and Boost.
Now, that a Combat ship weighting 130 t more than a Krait MK II can come with a 6 A Power Distributor baffles me, from my PoV it is short shigted and leaves the player with less choice and flexibility when it comes to maneuverability and Combat Persistence.
