RyaustalWould you all say the Python is a better miner or an Anaconda?

The Python is the answer for most any ship where a choice is possible.
It's the biggest ship that can land anywhere, any station, any platform for support and re-fitting.

I know, right? This thing looks like a proper space ship, and I bet it handles like a pig - which I rather like on a chunky thugboat like this. I'm not sold on the spoiler, but with the right paint job (racing stripes) maybe. Just maybe.

I like it.

I still think the Type 10 bit's a hoax.
05 Dec 2017, 1:59pm
If it is, it's the most well-done hoax I've ever seen. Seen screenshots of it in three different languages and an uncut video of it.

Better than the eagle snatching the baby?

Man, that Type 10 reminds me of a C-17.

Don't get me wrong I love my Python, it is a fantastic miner and so far has been a good combat ship. But what bothers me is that I don't pilot it from the center, you know the commander chair is offset. Drives me crazy when I try to land. So i picked up and Anaconda and not only am I in the center of a massive bridge but the window is free of frame rails. The anaconda doesn't handle as well but I also have engineered anything for it yet... hell I haven't even A rated it yet, pricey little bugger.

here is a build for the conda but no a miner

Simple terms:

The Anaconda's advantage is it can take a bigger yield per trip, letting you stay out longer each time.

The Python's advantage is it can land on medium pads, giving more options for selling prospects.

Yes, this is one of our Faction leaders who recorded it. He was as surprised as the rest of us that it had appeared in-game.

Is it correctly understood that we can only use the Military compartment for:

Shield banks
Hull reinforcement
Module reinforcement

?

A Follow up question would be what of the above should i put on my Vulture?
05 Dec 2017, 6:44pm
That is correct and the follow up would depend on the rest of your build. If you have the power for it then technically a shield bank will provide the most hit points(kind of). However Hull reinforcement could save you too and module reinforcement if you aren't sporting many A grades in your build. Both those add weight though and agility is the vultures main weapon.

RE:

In an Anaconda you get a centered seat for a clear view.
True enough if that is important.

Personally my attention is on my entertainment console while mining. I watch movies.
The limpets do the looking. I just need to be able to hit an asteroid with a laser once in a while.
It's when you get into trouble that you will start to think about where your large pad landing options are.

The large pad does pose an issue. Oh well, I will keep the Python around i guess.
