Ah yes ED . I never did get an Anaconda . I could buy one right now . Shit , I could buy an iCutter , but knickers to rank grinding . At the moment I have a Python and a fleet of smaller ships with specialized loadouts . That Python , with a base value of 50 million , now costs more than the iCutter at a 200 million base thanks to upgrades . The insurance rebuy on my Python is already a hefty 10 million . It took forever to A rank that thing . The armor plating alone cost more than the ship did ! The even bigger ships are impossibly expensive to upgrade with crippling huge insurance . And to top it all , you can ' t even land those big ships on outposts . So those large ships are costly , hard to fly and of limited use . Also because they are so expensive to upgrade and move so slowly , they are pretty crap in a fight against something smaller , made from cheaper parts . Because the rebuy is so high , you ' ll never , ever want to get in a fight with the thing anyway .
