The Python is a Frigate Class ship. It has four Small Phasers and good speed.

Advantages

 * Speedy.
 * Cheap.

Disadvantages

 * No Turrets.
 * Completely outclassed by the Viper in everything but cost.
 * Damage towards hull isn't very high.
 * Rather large for a Frigate.

Strategy

 * This ship does not do well alone, but in a fleet you can quickly wear down an opponent's shields while they are distracted by the larger ships in your fleet.
 * Try to keep in the blind spots of enemy ships using your superior agility, so they cannot fire back at you.

Trivia

 * Has changed very little since it first got added.
