I see. Good to know.

Got a bug where someone interdicted me when my ship was about to enter hyperspace. After jumping, I brought the guy with me and we both tore the main sequence star a new hole. Killed the sonofabitch afterwards for trying to damage my hull via interdict bug.

Query, so I know what I'm aiming for... what's the min cash value of a reasonable vulture setup for res farming? So i can see a difference. Not looking for grade a everything. In a fairly good viper now... want to work out how long it will take.

Hmm... if both ships are decently fitted it shouldn't be a big problem unless the Python pilot is a high-rank. You get the vulture to open the fight and get some threat because of the bigger shields, and then you both just target Python's power plant. After the shields drop - just let it rip and you should destroy it with at least 20-30% of its hull left ;)

The minimum you need. Hmmm. A rated FSD or your not going anywhere. A rated Power plant or your not shooting things. At least C shields. And the best thrusters you can afford. And the biggest guns you can afford.

Mine has A rated shields, power plant, thrusters, FSD and power distributor. D rated life support and sensors. 2 shield boosters, chaff, and KWS. And 2 large pulses. Cost is about 12.5.

It is a power hungry bird. Set cargo hatch, FSD and anything else to level 3 or you will be dead in the water when you deploy guns.

Not going anywhere for now so FSD not important

Could be that they are testing them, I saw the 'Onion Head' paint job on a few NPC ships before it was released in the store. Having never seen a single Anaconda NPC with a paint job in game before this, this could be a good sign for the 'conda pilots out there.

Actually there were NPC conda's sporting paintjobs pre 1.2 so they've been there awhile.

Didn't know that, perhaps I was being somewhat over optimistic then :P
