{{quote|Manufactured by Faulcon deLacy, the Python MK II is a redesign of an iconic vessel. Reimagined as a combat ship that sacrifices internal space for increased manoeuvrability, firepower and defensce. With six hardpoints, it can go head-to-head with larger ships, while its improved agility allows it to handle smaller vessels without having to reply on turret weapons. The redesigned hull offers superior management of overcharged Frame Shift Drives. The Python Mk II has been designed for medium-size landing pads. |In-Game Description}}

The '''Python MkII''' is a multipurpose ship manufactured by [[Faulcon DeLacy]]. The MkII is a redesign of its predecessor, the [[Python]].

== Overview ==
This vessel come with two variants: the Standard and Stellar variant. These can be found and bought in the [[Pre-Built Ships]] selection found in the main menu. The Standard variant have the nearly same [[Outfitting]] as of normal [[ships]]. The Stellar variant, unlike other ships, come equipped with four [[Multi-Cannon]] and two [[Pulse Laser]] as the ship's default outfitting, while other ships does not have Multi-Cannon as their default Outfitting.

The Python MkII's [[Cargo Scoop]] can contain ten canisters before the cargo bay is at maximum capacity without upgrades. This, however, are fewer than the cargo capacity of a normal Python. The Python also can travel sightly better compare to the normal Python and have a higher unladen [[jump range]] than the normal Python. However, normal Python can afford a 30 ly jump by upgrade the [[FSD]], while the Python can only afford a 18 ly jump and upgrade it can only increase 0.65 ly.

With its superior hull, the Python MkII come equipped with a 5C supercruise overcharge Frame Shift Drive, which have lower thermal load, slower fuel consumption, acceleration and deceleration while overcharging. Python MkII, after added to the [[Shipyard]], will have more expensive price than the normal Python.

For improved speed, firepower and defence, Python MkII will have fewer internal space. The Python MkII is also quite harmful, as it have six hardpoints space which can takes down a larger ships. Equipping this vessel with [[Seeker Missile Rack]] and occupy it on all hardpoint slots with this weapon is ideal on [[Pirate|Piracy]], [[Bounty Hunting]], [[Assassin|Assassination]] missions while equipping this vessel with AX weapons on [[Xeno Hunting]]. With its enhanced manoeuvrability, it can takes down smaller ships.

==Development==
[[Frontier Developments|Frontier]] announced that this ship will be added with a free update in 2024. A developer update on 23 Apr 2024, revealed the release date on 7 May 2024 for 16,250 [[ARX]], and 3 months later on 7 Aug 2024 for all players for[[credits]].

This is the first new ship added to ED in 6 years. Elite partners got early access on a test server on 1 May 2024.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/1cgjxcw/elite_partners_may_1st_python_mk2_test_drive/ Elite Partners May 1st Python MK2 test drive!] - Reddit 30 April 2024</ref>
