{{quote|Manufactured by Faulcon deLacy, the Python is a multipurpose ship that offers an enticing balance of manoeuvrability, firepower and defence. With five hardpoints, it can go head-to-head with large ships such as the Anaconda and Imperial Cutter, while its agility allows it to handle smaller vessels without having to rely on turret weapons. The Python also has a sizeable cargo hold, making it a viable choice for those seeking a combat-capable freighter.|In-Game Description}}
{{quote|Another classic design that has survived the centuries. The first vessel was constructed in 2700 by Whatt and Pritney Ship Constructions. With the demise of the company and after various mergers and takeovers the ship design is now owned by Faulcon deLacy. The ship remains the slow and sturdy craft it was originally famous for and some smaller navies still use this class as a patrol cruiser (although tiny compared to the Imperial Interdictors and Federal Battle cruisers).|In-Game Description}}
 
The '''Python''' is a medium [[Ships|ship]] produced by [[Faulcon DeLacy]]. An iconic model, the Python pioneered modular ship design and singlehandedly revolutionized space travel when it was introduced by Whatt and Pritney Ship Constructions in 2700, spurring the rise of the first independent pilots. The modern iteration of the Python continues to be a popular choice, effectively combining utility and durability into a single multirole craft that can easily take on a variety of roles. DeLacy released the redesigned [[Python Mk II]] in 3310.
The '''Python''' is a heavily armed and well-protected craft, and boasts considerable maneuverability for its hulking size. Despite being exceptionally powerful and potentially useful in a variety of roles, the Python does suffer from exceptionally high operating costs, making it a potentially cost-prohibitive option for many pilots.
 
==Overview==
It is considered by some to be the most effective balance between firepower, maneuverability, and protection currently available. In addition to being capable of holding its own against the larger Anaconda in a toe-to-toe frontal battle through its substantial protection and firepower, the Python is generally agile enough to comfortably deal with smaller fighter classes without having to rely on turret mounts.
The Python is considered by some to be the most effective balance between firepower, maneuverability, and protection currently available among all ships. In addition to ably holding its own against the larger [[Anaconda]] in a one-on-one battle through its substantial protection and firepower, the Python is generally agile enough for its size to comfortably deal with smaller combat ships without having to rely on turret mounts.
 
The Python can also serve as a heavily armed freighter in that it can carry 284 T of cargo with a Class 3 [[Shield Generator]] fitted, or 292 T with no shield fitted. Additionally, it is one of the largest cargo capacity of any ship that can dock at [[Outpost]]s since it utilizes medium landing pads; because of this the Python is fantastic for [[Community Goals]]. Although the ship can achieve surprisingly high jump ranges with the proper modules and [[Engineers|Engineering]], additional mass from cargo can quickly drag this down and significantly lengthen the return leg of a trading loop.
==Specifications==

In combat scenarios, the Python is more than capable of putting down most other ships. With 5 hardpoints and good placement even larger ships like Anacondas and [[Imperial Cutter]]s must operate with caution in a fight against a Python. Furthermore, it has a staggering [[Mass Lock]] factor of 17; not only is this much higher than almost every other medium ship, tying with [[Krait Mk II]], it can even mass lock large ships such as the [[Orca]] and [[Type-9 Heavy]], making the Python an excellent choice for Pirating and Bounty Hunting as it has more than enough firepower to cripple targets before they can flee. The ship has one fatal flaw, however; its manoeuvrability. It has less manoeuvrability than other medium ships such as a [[Fer-de-Lance]] or [[Alliance Chieftain]] meaning it will often lose in a 1V1 scenario with either ship as manoeuvrability is an important factor in smaller ship combat. It also struggles against the small [[Vulture]], which can easily stay under the ship and avoid fire. Utilizing turret-style weapons on the nose and medium hardpoints can help in combat if this becomes an issue, which allow for better firing arcs than the remaining pair of heavy hardpoints. Power is also a problem as the Python will struggle to keep all 5 hardpoints as well as utility mounts and Shield Generator powered. Engineering the Python is highly recommended to avoid this issue.

! Insurance:
The Python can also serve as a competent [[Explorer]]. While it cannot quite match the [[Diamondback Explorer]] or [[Asp Explorer]] for jump range, it can come close with a Class 5 [[Guardian Frame Shift Drive Booster]], and its well-balanced array of optional internal slots gives it plenty of room for exploration equipment without sacrificing protection. Finally, its hardpoints can be loaded with weapons to deter pirates, or left empty to save on weight.

[[File:Convergence python.png|thumb|250px|Python hardpoints convergence]]
! Type:
The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: two large hardpoints located either side of the ships spine around the midship, two medium hardpoints located slightly behind the cockpit, and a third large hardpoint on the underside of the nose. This last hardpoint has a 180° field of fire when gimballed or turreted, and combined with the Python's other weapons, this gives the Python a fairly wide field of fire where all weapon hardpoints can track and hit a target, provided they are gimballed or turreted.

The primary pilot's seat is offset to the left of centerline and is parallel to the auxiliary/copilot seat which is offset to the right. This placement can be a little disorienting at first, but this can be remedied as the pilot becomes more comfortable flying the ship. The Python's lack of accommodation for a [[Fighter Hangar]], however, means that the [[Multicrew]] pilot can only control turreted hardpoints if any are equipped.
