How much money would you need for a decent Type 9 loadout?

Or would python be better?

nice thanks. May be better to upgrade to python (found one for 48 il) first from type 7 then.

You need around 6 millions trade capital + insurance.

If you have a good 8ly route, you don't need A FSD. The 15 million cheaper C class is actually enough:

Price: 85 + 4 insurance + capital = 95kk Credits

Or the 13ly hopper:

Price: 99 + 5 insurance + capital = 110 millions CR

Both carry 500 tons of cargo.


Python has the advantage of landing on ouposts, better agility and shields and stuff..
But it's got only a bit more than half the cargo of T9.

Trade variant should be around 80 million I think?

Accodring to wiki Python has 292 cargo, my type 7 only has 212, so is still a big step up from what I have.

i have a 22 mil Type 7 to trade in and just short of 30 mil cash. So thinking if I travel back to Lao Yano and get the 48 mil Python after I get say another 5-6 mil where I am (maybe 3 hours work), I could be good to go.


(that is if I stop leaving station before buying cargo because I am typing on forums lol)

Just replace 3D shield cell banks with 3E cargo rack. And place shields on other slot (usually 5D), you gonna need them :D

If you go for a python despite the fact it carries a lot less cargo you can get a good jump range (16.5ly with 270-280T) this means you can travel considerably faster/further than a type 9 on a multi jump trade route and make good money fast with.

With my python I have a 3 jump route that is over around 70ly which gives me about 5+ million per hour if I fly sensibly with around 1.2 million every round trip

Obvioulsy with a type 9 you can offest this by finding a good short route with 1/no jumps and making 8+mill per hour but they are hard to come by

Summary: the Type 9 can give you better maximum profits in ideal conditions, but the python is far more flexible and gives you a better profitability on longer routes/more route options.

Unless one of the forum people will share a good type 9 route with you, personally I would go after the python.

Trade python might set you back around 66-70million ish depending on the price of the ship and modules
