This has not been a problem for me so far. It's a competent ship, handles well and can do multi role, but it's not as sturdy as a Python and yes, it's smaller. I've been mining low temp diamonds and then grinding rep in it. I've been out of the game for years and recently came back in, came back from the black (I was in a DBS - all I could afford when I set out!) and ought a Phantom because I liked the look of it. For exploration they're both fantastic ships and I suspect most would choose the Krait Phantom, but I love my Python despite its rather stunted jump range. In the end I suppose it's a matter of preference. Another thing, and this is really nit-picking, about the Krait Phantom is that there are a couple of thrusters visible through the canopy and I didn't like that, plus I don't like the canopy. The Krait Phantom is an excellent exploration vessel and it has a big advantage over my explorer Python because its jump range is. I prefer the Python because it has the edge (razor thin mind) with maneuverability and responsiveness and has a better cockpit view. For a direct comparison, which is both going to be pretty narrow and completely subjective, one of my Pythons was set-up as a deep space explorer and I also have a Krait Phantom set up as a deep space explorer. I love it but never expected to until I got the first one). I have three Pythons, each outfitted and engineered for different roles, which I think says something about how great the Python is (i.e. The Phantom is sexy, but the Python will always get you dinner on the table. Myself, I’m a trucker and mission grinder, so I prefer the Python all the way. It just can’t haul as much trash, and perform as many roles at once. It’s at home trading on a commodity market, exploring the galaxy, or holding its own in a combat zone. It’s fast, it handles beautifully and it’s similarly armed to the Python. The Phantom trades much of this utility for speed and jump range. It has a plain shape, that others find beautiful, but I do not. Compared to the Phantom, it handles like a lead sled. However, it’s (even engineered) jump range is lackluster. All the while it can still be schlepping a large amount of cargo across the galaxy. It also has room to equip plenty of extras for search and rescue, mats gathering, and local exploration and tourism. Outfitted and engineered for armed trading, the Python is second to none compared to other mediums performing that role. The Phantom is fun and flexible, the Python is for serious business: Kinda like the back and front of a mullet haircut. At this point, the focus moves from making credits to other gameplay aspects, like engineering, anti-xeno, combat, and pvp. Then make some more cash and build whatever ships you want. This python build is an excellent core miner that also gives you some good defense against pirates. Then buy that python and outfit it like this. One full load of void opals will net you around 140mil. Also, don’t buy an anaconda, or any of the big ships, until you have 400mil+ to A rate it.Įdit: my final advice, outfit your AspX for core mining, like this. In my opinion, a python has far greater potential in the long run to progress you further. The MKII has similar firepower, smaller module flexibility, but it can equip a fighter bay, which is fun, but is more trouble than it’s worth in medium ship. If you are considering the kraits, the phantom has less firepower, smaller module flexibility, but a far better jump range. It slightly edges out the Kraits in module flexibility. Besides the anaconda, it is the epitome of a multi role ship it can do anything well and, in particular, it excels as a core mining ship. The python is, perhaps, my favorite ship besides my corvette.
