Rumors says, the Python is a bit more maneuverable than Anaconda, making it logically well geared to overturn Anaconda and overshot everything else. Some people call Python "the Gunboat" or "pocket destroyer".
The Python is a heavily armed and well-protected craft, and boasts considerable maneuverability for its 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 players.
 
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 maneuverable enough to comfortably deal with smaller fighter classes without having to rely on turrets.

The Python is a heavily armed and well-protected craft, and boasts considerable maneuverability for its 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 players.

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 maneuverable enough to comfortably deal with smaller fighter classes without having to rely on turrets.
