I hope you were there to watch.

And please try to not go around shouting like that while I’m watching, or listening.

(My non-RP answer is, that was one hell of a visually impressive event. Also nice of Taranis to knock us out of its perimeter so nobody ended up vaporized.)

Im just a freelancer/ adventurer, doing bgs for squadron nowdays because I have nothing better to do, everything i have unlocked. Let's hope powerplay 2.0 will give us something for end game players, python mk2 which I'm waiting for and other new ships

Still no idea about those new ships. It would be sad to know that I'm barred from a new slice of gameplay by hard-coded stuff, something I can't find a workaround for, rather than simply facing an 'inconvenience' because of using a ship that isn't 'meta' for that activity.

I’d find it extremely lame if that Titan wreckage field was gatekept behind that dumb “Double Python”. I don’t even like the Python anymore.

Is there a way to see what minor factions you are friendly or allied with? I feel like I've been flying around doing missions and have lots of allies out there but i just don't know where they are.

Here's to leisurely approaching a ground station in a cutter, realizing at 3km above the surface that you have not yet requested landing clearance, and accidentally hitting the boost instead of contacting the station.

It almost doesn't make me feel embarrassed for the newbie error of having B+down on the controller d-pad for landing gear but letting go of B too quickly while it is also the boost button and running into the back of a station wall.

I had shields, fortunately. Still not one I like to remember though.

I was. That’s where I started, and I carried on with the old controller(a new one thanks to stick drift) to PC through the transfer. Because there’s no way in hell I’m using M/KB in Elite to fly ships (and I haven’t plunged on fancy flight stick stuff).

EpisparhSo that new python mk2 ... with 6 hardpoints (4L + 2M) supposedly having design intention to rival FDL and Mamba in combat (we already know that it will have 6 utility slots but it will need at least max speed buffed to Krait mk2 levels) ... From the work in progress footage it looked fast enough to me.

And about its release:
I understand that Python mk2 availability is linked to narrative event which will come from the stuff in Update 18. Yesterday's stream hints that new function is related to things delivered with U18. Since the U18 content is mainly focused on Maelstroms my best guess is that either we will be able to bring the fights to Thargoids or Maelstrom will become extremely dangerous for current ships, hance we will need those new ships for that. This guess is also enforced by the fact that the ship have potential to be also good for AX (+2 utility slots for more heat sinks, +1 hardpoint for thermal vent laser, but let's see max speed? first)



the regular python is already an extremely viable pvp ship (at least in 1v1s) so more hardpoints and more shields will make that even better, as long as the flight model isnt too bad at least.

It wont rival the fdl too much tho, even tho it will likely have way more firepower and hp

As I said, if they intend to make it rival to FDL and Mamba they need to buff speed significantly. The engagement is controlled by better speed and maneuvering. Big guns and health bar help but they are not essential.

It is speculation. Maybe the new secret function gives an edge that can compensate. We will see.

Power creep is a thing, you know?
