Python PVE combat build

[iamjay]

Just recently got back into the game, does anyone have a bookmarked build saved they don't mind sharing with me? Looking for a python combat build, no engineering just yet. Just need an optimal build, i'm not familiar what's good and what's not atm. Thank you for your time!

Just A rated it...exept sensors and life support(D) and you are good to go.

Weapons can be all burst laser loadout, for example,as its uneng. distributor can handle them good...

you can beat pirates pve ofcourse(res sites),but you cant handle combat zones and human players...

Tip for future dump the Python for a Krait, run 2 M beams and 3 L MCs with a fixed beam fighter. More agile, quicker and better jump range with armor on.

But if you insist on Python because it is an amazing ship A rate it and run 1L 2M beams and 2 L MC or cannons.

Youll burn through anythings shields just fine and have the armor penetration to deal with them once you do.
The spin up on the Large MCs are a little long so when you do engineer them over charge with auto loader works well.

thanks for the replies guys, awesome advice!

Not talked about often, but Python is an excellent big-ship hunter with triple Frag Cannons. Excellent grouping.


If they ever let you engineer shock cannons, that'd be even better.

Gonna steal this thread a little (as I tend to lately). So, watched TheYamiks review of Python, and it literally seduced me to give that big boy another shot. Initially I wasn't really impressed with it, because to me it looks like oversized Viper. But to think about it: I have dedicated scout, miner/trader, and even multi-purpose ship I tried to build turning into fullblown combat one.

So, if I want to have the REAL multipurpose Python (minus mining, I WON'T). Are there any fun builds to have with it? I was tinkering a bit, and came up with this:

But it doesn't look very fun to me... I want something that can do many things and still be tough in a fight. Maybe some equipment with interesting utilities? Maybe Plasma instead of Gauss? Any bright ideas?...
