MeowersHells... Using premium synths on a single PvE bot schmuck and validating something through it?

Yes and so WHAT?

I would have killed this Elite FDL with standard ammo anyway, FACT IS; the Krait has the agility and resilience to do it, using premium just make things faster, no need for a Mamba or a Python MK II, point; the Krait has more firepower and shield than both. Ooooops.

Ps. If you like to take more damage and take more time to get a kill, you're welcome to use Standard Ammunition.

Jawohl DuffalThinder, you are trying to dissuade. The case here is false advertising not ships per say.


I'm making a valid point, if they did indeed advertise the Python MK II as superior is wasn't a false claim.

Thinder stay with the philosophy how to make the perfect ship with E grade units.

ArtieSo you are complaining about something that was never an intention. Any regular ship you buy for credits is similarly useless.



Untrue or misleading information given to you to get you to buy something that's definition of false advertising to me that's exactly what ARX PMKII was. There was the intention to sell ARX so to say to make money...


You are reacting to something completely different (the "problem" that the loadouts for the ships bought for ARX are basic). Either way, although I am not sure if the claim "Python Mk II is a superior combat ship" was actually made by FDev (as far as I remember they wanted to position it to compete with the PvP ships by some of their streams, but I cannot dispute for certain they truly said the first), the constant spinning on: "They lied to us! Bad, bad Frontier!" during any even remotely related opportunity starts to be tiresome.

(And I will move this whole discussion into the Rant corner where it belongs later on.)

Whatever, if FD is not fixing PMKII by this Xmas, I will file for false advertising in my domicile.

How am I going to take advises from someone who can't read stats? Everyone can but you, you're wrong. Btw, I cannibalize my ships often enough for an E Class module to find its way in one of my fits, no biggies...
Initial release of PMKII for ARX is the classical case of false advertising. It was the first ARX ship which was heavily advertised by FD as a superior medium combat ship (unfounded performance claims).

Your delusion vs reality:

BASE SHIELD=316 MJ + BASE ARMOUR=504 vs BASE SHIELD=271 MJ BASE ARMOUR=405. AGILITY=144 vs AGILITY=132. Python MK II vs FDL.

Manufactured by Faulcon deLacy, the Python Mk II is a redesign of an iconic vessel. Reimagined as a combat ship that sacrifices internal space for increased manoeuvrability, firepower and defence. With six hardpoints, it can go head-to-head with larger ships, while its improved agility allows it to handle smaller vessels without having to rely on turret weapons. The redesigned hull offers superior management of overcharged Frame Shift Drives.

The Python Mk II has been designed for medium-size landing pads.

Go on, make us laugh. My advise: Try a better fit.

Stats mean nothing on paper unless tested in real. It is 750K fine probably 1/4 of what FD made on PMKII ARX sales.
