Ah, I absolutely *love* your "bah, efficiency" approach. While they are efficient without doubt -- in their own way.

BTW, discount for the FDL anywhere? :mrgreen:


It's not really about efficiency either, it just doesn't click for me.
Have you ever driven a car that by any standard you should love, but simply don't ?
It's kind of like that for me.

Now once I have billions or just a few more hundred millions, I would definitely get a ferdie again, but at this point in time I can't have 90% of my assets into this one ship.

FD honestly made the vulture just too good.

EDIT:fixed a broken thought.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

Well that's just me :lol:

Looks play a great deal when it comes to transport vehicles. Hell - I even bought my MTB mostly based on looks, and the specs right after :D

Well made the trip to Diaguandri and picked up a discounted Python, for some reason the name "Donna" pops into my head.

Currently trying a "Just come at me" Trader build.
Probably a good idea since atm two PP factions hate my guts for the next few days.

Coriolis tally this up to almost 107 mil, but I only paid 89 total. Well worth a few hundred light years travel.

Co-pilot approves.

What's the discounted price? Is it discounted for everyone or faction specific?

15% off all components and ships at all Li Yong-Rui controlled and exploited systems. This offer is available to everyone.

Diaguandri System has the most components so I'd outfit there. Head to LEMBAVA to outfit any remaining components not sold at that station.

In regards to the FdL, it is one of the most fun ship to fly in combat. It demands high level of skill such as FAOFF and judicious use of power distribution and heatsinks. It has superior visibility while using TrackIR in dogfights.

Nope, it's no good, no matter how much I tried, just could not get on with the FDL. Looks and sounds great, but steers like a barn and the huge hard point can't hit anything most of the time.

So the FDL is gone and the Python is re-pimped back to her former glory (sorry Delphyne that I ever doubted you). I've re-bought a Vulture for RES fun, just need to find all the modules to complete the re-fit now.

Oh well, the FDL was worth a try.

Just stopped by to read and enjoy yet another person confirming that the Python is better than the FDL =)
