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

Kasumi GotoIt 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.

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

It is speculation. Maybe the new secret function gives an edge that can compensate. We will see.
Power creep is a thing, you know?

EpisparhAs 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.

yeah those are some good points. Maybe im wrong with my assumptions because the regular python is already being used in pvp.. But yeah if they wanna make it compete with the fdl it WILL absolutely need to be faster. The larger hitbox is already going to be a thing and its probably not gonna have as good of a flight model so it will have to make up with speed and firepower and hp. Just worried that its gonnna power creep the fdl completely in 1v1s if that happens.

Was it truly from Frontier and also wasn't the e-mail containing some suspicious links? It sounds like a scam/fake e-mail to me. Either way, if everything was alright in the game, I suggest to simply delete the e-mail received and ignore it. In case you have used some of the links in the e-mail (if there were any), it may be good to change the password of your game account (and on any other accounts that may be using the same password), just to be sure.

That's a fairly standard scam email. Better go change some passwords and secure some accounts.

Nice story and the exact opposite of reality.
PEC invaded the invaders new system, gained influence rapidly whilst taking Nova Influence down rapidly
Then the Icing on the cake as Nova was being beaten into submission and lost, I then expanded Temurt Drug Empire into No Cha, creating a nice pincer movement with Nova now as the 8th faction.
They lost and retreated.
We then spent months taking back my territory and beating them down to nothing.
FWIW, No Cha, I never wanted but I kept for 3 years as a token and reward of the finest of retreats by Nova ever.
To continue...
in here lies the full story of the faction that wanted to destroy Achenar aka Nova Navy the supporters of Nova Imperium now Nova Paresa.

Enjoy the truth of the weak minds that thought it was a good idea to hide and attack and lie like no tomorrow whilst befriending their potential ally or enemy.
The faction not smart enough to ask, so chose to attack instead, not that I would have helped.
No one asks for help by saying we are taking 4 of your systems.
No one reasonable lies and says yes, bad guys, my enemy too, killing lots of them.....Rainbro, adjutant of Nova Navy pretending to be a free mercenary whilst killing my factions ships.
war went on for a year before help arrived.
The fun part here is, I asked many cmdrs for help. No One wanted any part of it.
Nova in their infinite wisdom also went around, by telling everyone to NOT help me.
They told their worst enemy this.......
LL came to me to ask if I could use an ally.
Bless them all.
The war was more or less done and the IHC stepped in and forced a treaty on us all.
NOVA has been in breech of that treaty for many months now, destroying all that was Temurt Drug Empire.
Now they are attacking an Empire system as the 8th faction and are fighting to stay, 100% breech of the treaty..
FWIW More than 1 of my many factions were named on the treaty, but the crystal clear attempt to retreat Temurt Drug Empire from an Empire system where I put them all, is a clear breech.
I expect no support, same as before.
But I will ask if any anarchists are interested in helping Temurt Drug Empire and or Empire Consulate Ltd.
Empire Consulate is my pmf, Temurt Drug Empire is their Ally and was in control of the system until Nova Stupidly flipped it along with all the rest of TDE property.
I say stupidly because doing so makes this a clear attack on another Empire faction that is named on the treaty.
Had they not flipped it, maybe no one would care that they attack anarchies with the intent on flipping and retreating them.
SO, NOVA, I was getting bored. Thank you for the new goals and thanks so much for being so predictable.
I've been telling folks for a very long time what you were doing. No one believed you were smart enough to restart a war you lost.
Now lets see a change this time, try and play in open.
You want payback, I am always in open and you know where I bounty hunt, join me any time.

I ask this because this morning I thought I had found the reason why we cannot walk in our ships.
I thought... " damn, that's because we don't have the tech to do so!" while thinking about rotating stations.
But then the idea crashed when thinking about small stations....
If you have any thought about this please feel free to share!
