Conda for hunting ?

[outcast-luc]

Hello Cmdrs,

I wass wondering that is maybe time for me to get an Anaconda to keep on my bounty hunters career... Some days ago I was thinking to wait and get a Fed Corvette with 1.5, but as hunting is going good I want to have a try with the Conda before the Corvette..

Is it good for hunting in RES, and upcoming Hazardous RES, this kind of loadout ?

I would be grateful to have some advise from Anaconda owners,

TY,

Fly safe cmdrs

not bad, i use a similar set-up for my Anaconda, mine is mainly focused on CZ's so is a bit more SCB heavy. I've also got chaff and point defence but those are a matter of personal preference. with this set-up i can power 2 SCB at a time and take my shields from one ring to full power with the press of a button.

Wow a lot of SCB, I don`t understand why u did not use a 7 Shield Generator instead of a 5.... you lose a lot of shield that way...

I also use chaff usually but more the hull is big and more chaff are useless, as they can hit you just from 800mt.

Anyway i think for now I will stick with the Python, maybe I will buy a Conda when I can afford the military grade...

Why wait for when you can afford mil-grade?
It's got twice the shields of a python, so you will probably need it even less in the conda, unless it's for pvp then anything after shields are pointless imo (because it costs money to fix it).
I would drop the cannon, just go with gimballed beams in the huge and the large slots,
And stick with pulse laser turrets for the mediums and small mounts.
I have pulses on mine, and with the a8 PDS I can pretty much keep firing til I'm bored or whatever in front of me is dead.

But I upgraded my trade conda a little yesterday and took into the CGCZ's, and quite honestly I was missing my Python. but that just as well be some of the weird bugs I was seeing.

For instance the first time my aft turrets just wouldn't fire at all, the second time around the Mc's was reporting as out of range even if I was at about km of their target, and after a while my starboard bow turret wouldn't stop shooting blindly until I retracted it, but when I deploy again it starts shooting, I had to go into modules and power cycle the gun to make it quit.
Back to trade duty for Lizzy, Donna is actually simply better at combat.

Thanks for the advise here is my beauty (HMS Victory):

i had to make some power management, but its perfect now... I already had a try in a RES and is awesome Also when i bought my python coming from a Vulture I had the impression of the so called "flying brick" .. but tbh the Anaconda is not less manuverable of the python, even thought is really slow, but i can pitch the same... i fell like in some case even better.

In any case for RES hunting is an overkill... i can make pretty much the same thing with the python, i suppose Vic is more handy in CZ.

I willl keep the cannon .. only as i utterly love shot at clippers and pythons stuck in the asteroids I love the sound and the explosion .. I really hope that in future there will be more weapons for huge hardpoints, now let`s start to grind cr and reputation for the Corvette.

I want the class 4 multi cannon....

And the c4 beam laser.
With the upcoming corvette using those slots for C3 pulses would just be sad...

using those slots for C3 pulses would just be sad...

even with C3 pulses you don't get a great deal of firing time before the wep cap is drained.

to outcast-luc, i'd change the turrets for gimbals but that's just my opinion. ymmv.

Tell that to the elite conda's I killed without going below 50% wep cap.
4 pips to weps, and 4 large gimballed, the wep cap just don't drain. Only reason tobstop shooting is heat, and with pulses that takes a while.

[outcast-luc]

To clive I changed to pulse gimballed... that`s better you are right...

just have to make some trials.. for the Huge HP i think i`ll keep that to have fun with the cannons... tbh for what i find now in High RES 3large pulse on the PP blown everything in just some seconds... i dont see the point in 2.7 sec instead of 4... and also I want to have fun, just hoping in a near future to have more options for the HP.

Fly safe cmdr !!
