chaosapiant posted:Finally got my rear end into the seat of a Python this evening. Got a ways to go fitting and engineering it, but it's the first ship since I started playing where I thought "that's it, THIS is my ship" and immediately jumped online to get all the bells and whistles I could find to spruce it up. I've tried the T9, I've tried the Anaconda, I've tried the iCutter, but I keep on going back to my Lady Hel. I love my Python, she's just big enough to feel like a proper big ship while being at least something resembling maneuverable (with some upgrades). Tough enough to do combat when fit for it - plus a solid weapon loadout - big enough to haul a comfortable amount of cargo or passengers, enough internal bays to function as a solid miner or explorer or the like.. it's just a great all-rounder ship. Now if you only could fit a fighter bay in there.. Plus it's just sexy as gently caress:

There you go again, thinking about FDev's sexual organs. You really need to talk this through with your psychiatrist a bit more, it's becoming a bit of a sad obsession.

You seem to have some serious issues with people providing factual information for some reason, on top of your unhealthy obsession with a development team's bodily emissions. I'm sure if you don't actually understand the content of that post I linked a grown up could explain it for you...

Conskill posted:Funny enough, while at the same time they introduced a bug that for a time gave NPC ships the possibility to roll with fantastical weaponry, like plasma accelerators with the firing rate of multicannons. For a few days FDev didn't believe it and were telling people to get gud in the face of instadeath hellcannons.

Ak Gara posted:How's the handling on a Python? Is it too slow for frag cannons to be useful? Get some drives modded, and load up with frags for some hilarious damage. The fixed ones have ALOT more dps compared to the gimbal ones. For PVE i would recomment getting some multicannons too, for swatting smaller stuff. Note; if you have plans to do lots of bountyhunting or conflict zones, ammo is gonna be an issue after a few minutes..

Has anyone got an example of a good free camera control key setup for sweet space pics (with flightstick/mouse/keyboard)? I'm struggling to get good screenshots due to the awkwardness of camera positioning.

Cowcaster posted:thank you!! i will say flying it to where the community goal is going on made me remember how pitifully small the gas tank on the stupid thing is. how does transferring a ship to places scale, moneywise? it cost me about 200k and an hour of wait time to warp it a decent distance but i didn't think to measure how much https://eddp.co/u/ii2As8Yk  https://eddp.co/u/pAdsARsc  If you have a multicannon vulture and a pulse vulture and they shoot at each other, the pulse vulture dies first. Also the multicannon vulture is more power efficient. It's just better. edit: Once you get into engineering you can do some fun things: https://eddp.co/u/jP2sXxg3

DatonKallandor posted:The AI flies around in super modded out ships and is generally better. If you played before your combat rank probably means you are fighting enemies way out of your league because your combat ship sucks. No mods for NPC's they just use FA-off, pip management and had their aggression turned up.

Do turreted MCs work well for Pythons? I'm thinking of going two large gimballed beams for shields and switching to 3 turreted "target only" MCs to chew up armor. Is this a viable strat?

actually something that always puzzled me i figured i should ask about, since the only two powerplant states are "deployed/undeployed", what's the point of having more than two power priority groups? is it the theoretical situation where your powerplant gets hit and loses some of its juice?

When you deploy hard points and cross your maximum power threshold, other modules deactivate in order to save power, in order of module priority.

Well, yeah, but why does the game have more settings than "keep this on when deploying" (priority 1) and "disable this when deploying" (priority 2). Those are the only 2 levels of consumption you can ever be at, right?

Those are the only 2 levels of consumption you can ever be at, right? You can have multiple fire groups. You could have one that's just a massive alpha strike, then a second group with a power sustainable hardpoint deployment, or another that just shoots chaff or counter measures/mines or reverse turrets while trying to escape. Different situations call for different profiles of what can/can't be shut down. Thinking about it: some of those things don't require hard points to be deployed.

If your PP gets damaged there's a chance it could drop you to 50% power. Having your essentials (thrusters, FSD, etc) operating under that 50% threshold through module priority is key to getting out of a sticky situation alive without the whole "spinning hopelessly in space" problem. chaosapiant posted:If you don't have a weapon "chosen" in a fire group, it doesn't drain power when HPs are deployed. Yes it does. You're confusing capacitor draw with power draw.
