I've joined the club!Just before midnight last night, at Kamito, I said a final - and I
sincerely hope permanent - 'goodbye' to the ugly scow which despite grinding out ~55 mega-creds for me without serious incident over the last week or so, was so unpleasant to fly that it didn't even DESERVE a name
... and said an expectant "Well, hello there, beautiful
" to a shiny-new Python - Named "Monty, of course"
After an uneventful jag over to Diaguandri, and a total of 78 M lighter in the wallet, She tasted combat for the first time. A USS in a nowhere system I had hoped to find REZ in.
4 kills later, with only a 'scratch' to the outer shield, I'm feeling
LIKE A GOD as I cruise back to cash in. WHAT a ship!
Maybe a bit twitchy on the landing thrusters - and for sure an incentive to master the art of f/a off - but yes, I feel at home in her chair.
I'm looking forward to lavishing many more millions on her - plus a couple of quid for a red/black paint job - over the months to come, sure in the knowledge that she will reward my generosity with sheer joy.
I'm running a slightly weird weapons loadout atm though - the mediums hold 2 C3(G) pulse lasers & the middle mount has a C3(F) beam. This is only partly due to module availability, the theory is, even if my prey spews chaff, I still have one heavy-hitter to clobber them with - as long as I can keep my bead.
Should be fun finding out if the theory holds water!
I still want to upgrade the pulses to beams though.
