MISSION PROFILE

Six hardpoints, medium pad.

Frontier's store page says Faulcon deLacy manufactures the Python Mk II as a redesign of an iconic vessel. It describes a combat ship with six hardpoints that can go head-to-head with larger ships.

The page says the improved agility lets it handle smaller vessels without relying on turret weapons, and that the new hull manages an overcharged Frame Shift Drive better.

BEST FOR
Combat pilots who want a medium-pad ship with six hardpoints.

Frontier says it gives up internal space compared with the original Python.
