Lol @ people talking like PVP means jack in Elite.  The Krait MK2 is essentially a worse multirole ship than the Python but with more combat capbility.  That's it.  Your jump range is functionally the same, your firepower, internals, and the like are the same.  Any benefit from increased combat capabilities that lead to payouts are lost with paying your crew member a portion of all your income.  They share the same exact internals meaning that the overall cost is practically identical except for the initial price point.

So yeah, while it is excellent in PVE combat, it also literally does nothing differently lol.  It's not going to replace the python so much as it is just going to be another medium combat ship, the same song and dance.  It might be able to carry some light cargo and do a few things more interestingly, but anything the Krait MK2 can do, the Python can do as well if not better.  More cargo, equal jump range, same utilities, same relative firepower except for aggro draw in combat, which again, while an important component for combat efficiency, isn't going make up for the fact it's pretty much a worse Python but with a fighter.
