It's not the best but for trading jump range beats agility. And it's not that big a drop since a trade build is a lot lighter than a combat one and cargo doesn't count towards ship weight.

I would dig up my old fit but I lost my coriolis data when I reformatted last week ;)


Haha I understand. I appreciate the thought though. I do have a few more questions if you dont mind. Now that I am putt putting around in my conda I am curious as to if being alligned to Zachary Hudson is a negative since I am going to be trading for some time to come. I notice Torval has some really nice trade routes.

The problem with being aligned with any PP faction as a trader is you are more likely to get interdicted which may be the last thing you want when you have a cargo full of palladium

Which is exactly what I have been dealing with for the last 2 hours. It has begun to drive me quite mad. So I am torn between leaving PP for the time being.

Depends how you outfit the conda, if you go a little battle heavy it can be a fun distraction from the monotony. Or just terribly annoying.

I am also at the verge of getting one. I have the rank for a Corvette too, and it seems it could hold more cargo too. But the jump range on Anaconda seems to be far better. It would replace Python as my all-around ship for a long time to come so I need to think it through. Python can land on outposts which is good, but conda holds twice the cargo and is more durable. And less agile.

In the end, I guess Anaconda is not a waste of money no matter how I use it, and I guess with it I could make more money and faster than in a Python. Or lose it faster, depending how bad driver I am :) Better not to do land on that 6g planet on the first day.
Just need to find a cheap used one from somewhere, my usual guy does not sell it.

Thanks, I'll head up to there soon. Would go right away, but I just found another system that needs a permit and I get the missions for it from an outpost so I must wait one more day atleast to get the permit first. Not that I need the permit, have not even checked the system yet :D
Just one of those things I collect for no reason at all.

In the end I backed away from PP and I have not been interdicted since. Netflix and Trading.

Bought my Anaconda just a moment ago. Managed to keep the Python too, it is a good all-round ship like Asp and Cobra.
First liftoff from the station felt very very heavy :)
Now I just need to keep an eye on the missions so that I won't take any missions that require landing to an outpost. Unless the mission list filters those out by default when in a L size ship ?
