  • don't forget that the Python MK II is almost twice the mass of the FDL and is bigger too, so you mind the gravity of the planet and the size of the canyons you are going LOL
  • @TheBuurPit
    Words and further words. All hail the algorithm!🎉❤

    Hit the like button as soon as you hit the first re-buy.... Awesome video!
  • @RebelsRogue
    Nice video mate, well done. I like the unscripted vibe of the video. That tail is a pain in the ass, literally! You said the boost phase was long enough, but I was thinking in those canyons you needed at least another 1/2 a sec. The useable boost felt short to me!

    Hardcore dedicated python pilot here.. Very nice to see this kind of review of the MK2. At 19:34 the Python's unusually high powered vertical thrusters really took you by surprise. It's one of my favorite things about the Python MK1 and I'm so happy the Mk2 retained that stand-out feature. Other than the Viper MK IV the Python is really the best ship for handling High G planetary flight and the MK2 is going to really make it shine even further. Thanks for talking about the boost cycling etc.

    Glad you are liking the Python MK2 mate, cannot wait to see you driving it like you stole it. Great video7.
  • @phillp4421
    Good job, pretty much got from that what it offers. It's very nice to fly even for us mere mortals in FA On too :)
  • @AtlasGaming4k
    SCO is kinda FA off during super cruise :) but really should be a rated. “I only fly FA off” proceeds to loose shields by bumping and missing the slot. lol. One thing I notice in FA on is that ship has much better thruster up front. It can slow down from boost to 0 facing forward much faster than python or krait II. Side thrusters are pretty similar to other mid size ships.

    Change flight assistance from z to space bar and smash that shit every few seconds to get good. Flight assistance has advantages and disadvantages depending on what your doing.

    Oh Commander eagle please come back I'm sure you on PC but Xbox has mods now and I've been enjoying although it's just been one day and I just finished one of my ships and it looks cool
  • @Helxas
    I was worried that the step down in Distributor size would be a weakness for FAOff flight in this ship, but I'm glad to be proven wrong. And like another commenter said, it's good to see that the Mk2 retains the original's powerful vertical thrusters. I wont really know until I've got my hands on the Mk2, but I do still feel like I'll stick with the Mk1 - I prefer its shape, for both flight mechanics (the Mk2's tail, oof!) and aesthetics, and I feel like the Mk1 can still display surprising agility when piloted correctly. But this video has definitely convinced me to grab one of these after I get back from this deep space expedition!

    Why commander! I need an upgrade from my Thrustmaster, what HOTAS do you use?
