Finally upgraded for the first time

Been busy and haven't played in a while. This game takes away the hours very quickly

SO had a good session the other day. Finally realised I had enough to trade in the Cobra for a Python. Was umming and ahhing (like it was real life!) because the Python is a lot slower. But so much more cargo space for the price! So I went for it. Having my cake and eating it too though because of course I saved a new file for the Python. Now as long as I keep clear of the space lanes the profit per trip is really ramping up (",)

danny,
I ran a Python for quite a while, and I loved it. She was iron-assed by the time I'd finished and was a pretty good combat ship all things considered.
And for trading, as you're finding, the credits soon start rolling in.
Enjoy!

It's the first ship you can seriously do cargo contracts in...just remember that extra 15 TC add-on because that lets you get slightly more contracts.

Ooh yes. Forgot about it. Better do it now!

I've had a python as well, as one of my in-between-ships. As long as you stay out of the lanes it is okay. Fuel injectors do help, however. I usually followed the spacelanes until I had little fuel to go hunt for some pirates, and then fuel-injected out of the lane...

Greetz,
Onno.

Better than okay I'd say. Iron-ass it and you've got quite a capable ship. It's only the lack of military shield enhancement that stops it being brilliant. As I said above I flew one for a long time, and far from avoiding the lanes I used to cruise them. Those pirates can't resist a lonesome Python, so they come to you. Great...saves you having to go find them. I'd often take her out empty, and by the time I docked had a nearly full hold of free cargo.
She wasn't called The Fatal Attraction for nothing!
