NFC PhistoA lot of the metas in this game have glaring weaknesses. When you exploit those weaknesses, the fans of the meta shame you for doing so.
Blaze your own trail.
Well there is meta, and then there are people that tell you it's ok to run trade in a ship with nothing but cargo racks haha.
But meta definitely has its place. I'm guessing when you fly out for some PvP you are rocking an FDL PA build or something similar, and not an orca with gimballed beams and MC's haha.
So I guess meta is open to interpretation, there is established strong builds, and then there are crap builds that people try to sell as gospel

PhelboreAesirYea but not sure which ship to step to from the asp. I went T-7 to Python. I own a clipper but purchased only recently to use. And haven't spent enough time in it to really recommend it one way or another. It seems nice.. haha.
I can tell you that you will absolutely love your python when you get it, it is very good at everything in the game, except PvP. Awesome cargo capacity, great hardpoints. Only specialized ships beat it in any catagory. Except PvP. Even engineered you don't want to try it.
I don't plan on getting a Python, I don't like the looks. I don't want a Conda because everyone goes for one. As for what ship comes after the Asp, the answer is "many". DBX or Dolphin for exploring (even tho the Asp is the premier exploration ship). For passenger hauling nice Orca or Beluga. Python, T-7 or T-9 for cargo. For war, the FDL is probably next. The questions you should ask yourself are: "What do I want to do?" and "Do I want a theme?". My answers are "Everything" and "Saud Kruger because why not?".
i didn't include the python because of the cost-difference with an Asp....however the Fed Dropship is good to learn to drift, a good stepup for the FDL, which has a pendulum effect....
However, the best multi-roles remain AspX and the Python......in fact i got myself 2 pythons....1 for gen-purpose, the other specific for mining

Man I love the python too though. For a medium sized ship, has mind blowing internals, is Tanky enough with engineering to survive in a high CZ solo. Can out trade, out mine, outfight anything in its class. (Not including any player manned FDLs or higher.). Even after your fleet outgrows smaller ships you will still use it for rep grinding and smuggling.
Best 52million you can spend in elite IMO, not like my 46million power plants.

Ah, I don't include the Fed/Imp ships for two reasons, first there's extra unlocks to get them, second... I don't have the unlocks so I can't comment on them.

CPO-Ozz is Petty Officer...afaik that would be enough for Fed Driftship

I'm not a person that goes for looks (which in turn makes me despise pretty much all the Imperial ships due to their pompous appearance). If something functions as intended that's enough for me.
And boy does a Python function if you know how

There has been a call to action regarding the conflict in Coma between Newton's Fusiliers and Denton Patreus. To those willing and able to take up our cause, kindly review the following release.

I was travelling between planet Trus Madi and the star, when the following happened: my eyesight began to tremble, the stars were moving in the sky. After a few seconds a black hole (not the celestial body, a hole black) appeared near the star. It must have been very tall and far because I was going quite fast and is wass looked like beeing at the same distance from the star. I couldn't select or analize it. There where light particulescoming from it, very similar to the animation of the fsd when we jump from a system to another, but I didn't saw anything going out from it. The whole event lasted something like 10 seconds.
I've not played a lot since a while, so I've no idea if this kind of event is normal, related with the Thargoïd threat maybe.
If any of you has any idea of what this could be, thank for your knowledge.
(btw sorry for potential bad english).

AngelRipperI had never seen anything like that before in 950 hours in E.D, and I usually don't play alone so I've followed a lot of interceptions from very close.
I've seen the same thin a couple times, I have always assumed they were interdictions in systems. But if your positive their not, I don't have any actual evidence to say otherwise haha.
