I don't know why you're taking offence to it, exactly.

I'm just offering the observation that most of the opposition we've encountered lately have been Python Mk IIs, and they have claimed some kills I would have expected our pilots to be able to evade, had they been Kraits or FdLs.

The Cutter remark was specifically referring to an a Python wing with Pacis and torps, not MCs. 1v1 you're going to escape anything in a properly-built Cutter; dying is entirely optional. Against a wing, it can be a different story (depending on composition). But I typically manage to get away from four-FdL wings without issue.

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 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.

“My Imperial Courier is on its way here as we speak.”

A visit to Inter Astra when he had first arrived had sorted that out. Losing “The Ghoul” was a hit to his small fleet but tracking it down would have to wait, that’s assuming it’s still intact out there somewhere.

“I plan on meeting with someone else to try to right a couple more wrongs. This girl I worked with once, Willow. She got hurt and I feel some responsibility for that. I haven’t seen her since I dropped her off at that medical facility. Probably gonna send her a message, if I don’t get a response, well, I’ll find her.”

Maul checked his data slate for notifications indicating his ship had arrived but there wasn’t any.

“After that, I’m going to find Julie Carte, one half of some wealthy corpo power couple from the independent systems, she owes me some credits for a job and an explanation.”

“But before all that, is there anything I can do to help you? You’ve done so much for me, it’d be near impossible to pay you back for all of it, but I’ll sure as hell try.”

Hello, that's correct - the domesticable Bowing Shadeleaf produces Sealant as you wrote and the Solvent is gathered from Bleeding Heart Wine (non-domesticable). I should probably make it more clear there and list also flora/fauna for the gatherable stuff directly in the planet overview, not just the search results. Thanks for the feedback.

Polvo flora is displayed wrongly, the domesticable plant DO NOT produce solvent, as stated on INARA, but yes, sealant.

Hello, as there are no full loadouts for all the ships at once in the journal, please hop into the respective ships in the game and import your game data afterwards. It should update loadouts of all ships you have been in.

Hello, here's a new bug, in my hangar if I click on a ship to see its equipment/loadout, I can read underneath "The ship loadout is unknown." so it's impossible for me to export them to coriolis. Any solution?" so it's impossible for me to export them to coriolis. Any solution?

It'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.

Oh, there was so much to say but Maul was going through something. Just because she couldn't understand what he was doing, she wasn't going to do anything to upset it. It could be interesting to observe.

"Hm, very well reverent Montresor, the exorcist. And what ship are you going to be using to move on I wonder?"

He thought hard for a minute about who Lambast was referring to with the “lighting bolt hair” but fell short of an answer. Besides, there were too many questionable hair style choices amongst his usual company to even remember a particular one.

“I could stand here and blame the people around me for my mistakes but that’s all I’ve ever done. This one was all me. I chose to go this path and now I’m choosing to go a different one.”

He took a step away from Lambast and turned to look at her with an unwavering gaze.

“I’m going to keep doing what I’ve always done because it’s what I’m good at. I may not be leaving some grandiose mark on the galaxy or solving any of the pressing issues that the Galnet news cycle bombards us with daily, but for all the bad I’ve done and harm I’ve caused, I’ve done some good as well. Not in a long time, but there was a time when I did. Now though, I’ve got some wrongs to make right out there.”

His stern look turned to a slight smirk as his body appeared to relax a little from its previous tense form.

“Ya know, I once heard someone say "we can't change what's done, we can only move on" and Lamb, I reckon it's about time I put those ghosts to rest and move on."

Krait KM II showing her age...

Optimized the same way than the new Python MK II, she can't hold a candle to her in terms of maneuverability, see for yourself...

Krait MK II


Python MK II


So when they say they made the Python more maneuverable, they weren't joking, the Krait MK II has the advantage of a fighter hangar and a 7A Power Distributor making sure one can fire power hungry weapons and boost all day, it's combat persistence by the letter.

I don't think the Python MK II was designed by the same team than the Krait, they would have given her a 7A Power Distributor...

Considering the Krait MK II, one way to evade the Python 2 would be spiral taking advantage of her good roll rate and capacity to boost and use the fighter to poke the Python, the XG9 Lance is good at downing shields...

I decided to purchase both a new Throttle and a set of pedals, the reason is playing safe (no more failure with the actual throttle) and also I need some time to adapt to using pedals in the Yaw axis.

Well, head tracking isn't anywhere near as good as one of the last gen Headsets, if you play DCS it's a clear advantage to use one, the Pico 4 being one of the best in the affordable range, there is no issue tacking a target.

The lenses are clear Pancake with 105° FOV which is acceptable; Resolution: 4320 × 2160 (2160 × 2160 per eye, 1200 PPI), sweet spot is very large so its clarity is superior to the previous generation and equivalent concurrent headsets by a fair margin, if you can try one, do it...

The only thing it lacks is the ultra-wide POV of sets costing 3 X as much or more.

I had 3 headsets, this is by far the best and it's affordable.

Ah. I've had enough time around VR headsets to become quite sure they're not my cup of tea. At least in their current state of development. Give it some years, ten maybe, or something like that... Nowadays, for me, nothing beats a good monitor in front of my eyes.

Good trick, I use it with the Corvette which is at her maxi at this level, but it is made worse with the Python with a Power Distributor on the small size.

Alternatively if one uses a Fleet Carrier as a base for bounty hunting, reducing the FSD size and getting rid of the Fuel Scoop helps.

Here is an advantage I find the Krait MK II to have over the Python II, her 7A Power Capacitor.



There is no denying that the Krait will recharge her weapons faster, and still being able to boost all day on 2 engine Pips, she has less 3Cs but can use both weapons and Boost more consistently.

I don't know what developers were thinking giving a Class 6 P.C to the Python II which is supposed to be a Combat ship, from my humble PoV, it was a little bit shortsighted.

She wanted to say, you are who you are, and to expect any change in your usual behaver is irrational it in it's self. Hugging something that looked like Maul in public was making her uncomfortable, but thanks to Kaisla, she knew things like this had to happen from time to time; it was best to just go with the flow. Lambast did after all, care about Maul.

She'd listened to many of Mauls apologies before. There was always a task left half done, or he'd let people down. More often than not, she had to clean up the various bodily excreta he was cacked in after passing out in room she'd supplied for him. This time, the apology felt bigger, less driven by social necessity or embarrassment, so Lambast wasn't about to cheapen it for him.

Waiting as long as she could before feeling too uncomfortable with the silence, Lambast finely spoke.

"Yes, well, if there was going to be a last straw with me, you would have known the limits of my patience for you years ago. I put it down to the company you keep; thanks to you being so easily influenced that is. The chap with the lighting bolts shaved into his head for example. Call a thing like that a 'friend' your social adjustment is bound to be skewed"

While still staring at the plaque on the wall, Maul wrapped his arm around Lambast and took a deep breath in preparation for what had to be said next.

"Thanks Lamb...and I really am sorry for just up and, well, vanishing like I did. I have no excuses, just irrational reasoning to back up the cause. Can't promise it won't happen again. But unlike these past few years, I feel like I just want to move forward, accepting the past this time instead of trying to forget it."

"You don't have to accept my apology. I just want you to know that I am truly sorry."

Thinder: What about to put 5 modshards and one gimballed class 3 TV beam on Python MK2? Cuz I can shoot pretty fast and consistently (if looking only at energe and not heat) with very similiar config-just one modshard less

Yeah, they’re fairly useless. It’s too bad the handle has only 4 buttons plus 1 hat; for E:⁠D that is hardly sufficient

Eats too much power. Because of that, the weapons (and other modules) set to priority 3 will turn off when deployed(else your ship would be sitting there with everything turned off).

Doing this(cargo hatch, fuel scoop and docking computer to priority 4) will allow you to keep everything powered that you’d need in combat.
https://edsy.org/s/v6974L6

Also advisable to at least keep FSD and thrusters assigned to 1 and everything else to 2(or things like the power distributor to 1 as well, as long as it stays within a 40% limit) so if your reactor takes a beating and goes to 0 you can at least still try to make a run. And hope nobody blows it up in that time.

Can anyone tell me why I get a power supply failure when i fire my weapons on this Python M K II build

Forget head tracking, try a Pico 4.

Nah, my PC is fine. i7-13th gen, 4080, etc., since it's essentially my working tool. I need a more or less good PC. I mean, sticks, throttles, pedals, head tracking, keypads... All that. Currently, I don't even have enough space to accommodate such a setup. So, maybe later, with more free time and more space for stuff. I'm inhumanly busy on my job...s anyway.

I have invested into the right gear to play it at high settings in VR, they also optimized it, now one can play it with multi-threading support, it helps.

Have a look.

Lol, sometimes I think of playing learning trying out subjecting myself to countless layers of suffering and agony in DCS too, but the amount of additional tech needed to play comfortably is a bit too much. :p
