      Anaconda: 15.25
      Cutter: 21.10

    I eventually got myself a cutter and as beautiful as that ship is and as obscenely big it's shields are, there just is something about the conda that tells me that no matter what I want to do with it, it can be done and this feeling is what captivated me from the beginning. There is no missing spot, no missing shot, no wrong task. There IS a Jack-of-all-trades in Elite Dangerous and it is the Anaconda.

Currently in the Abyss sector heading toward Acheron. In just a few weeks i went to Sag. A, then colonia, then a 10.66 G planet(opposite side of sag. A), landed on it, then beagle. You can make a straight shot from sag. A to beagle, you don't have to "go around" like most do thanks to that top notch jump range. Even with everything that it's equipped with, necessary or totally not necessary, I'm still getting 68 ly jumps with about 274 ly on a neutron. It's dope. Great content! Excellent vid! Subbed 🤘

    Very nice! I’m on hopefully the final leg of my journey to Beagle Point with the Distant Worlds 2 expedition. My Anaconda is named “Azhanti High Lightning” and she uses the same paint scheme as the one in this video. Except I haven’t been able to get a refresh on the paint since Explorer’s anchorage. And there’s about as much primer and bare metal showing as paint now from 20,000+ LY worth of interstellar dust bombardment. But otherwise she’s holding up nicely. And yeah. The range on this ship - particularly once you get an A-rated FSD with engineering mods and a Guardian FSD booster - is just phenomenal. I’m getting close to 60LY jump range. About 225 if using a Neutron Boost. Plus I can carry 2 SRVs and 2 SLF scout fighters. I’m also kitted our with repair and refuel limpets to assist other CMDRs out here if they need it. The Anaconda is basically the same as the Cobra Mk III, just on a larger scale. A ship that can do anything, go anywhere and haul anything. In 7 league boots with style!

      Wow thats dedication. I grinded about 5 weeks total to get my cutter rank. I did a mix of mining, trading and the fastest was rescue missions. I used the same strategy to grind out the Federation rank in even less time. Currently the cutter is the least used ship I own. I had it set up for mining, and got jumped by a pair of viper mk III's with about 500t of painite in my hold. Those NPC's flew rings around me and took my shields down, and were determined to kill me. I ended up running away, like a scared little shit, high waking in the nick of time. Yes, I had a small shield to maximize the cargo capacity of my ship, but I had beam laser turrets and multicannons that didn't seem to touch either of them, and I could not out run them either. Now my cutter is a cargo ship that gets used on the occasional beer run missions. I love the style, sound and power of the ship, but its lousy in a fight.

    Yes. This is the ship a lot of people aim for. This is the measure of a man, the metric by which the game is made.
    Across my Elite career, I've owned three. First one was lost in a mission I failed to nice was a Wing mission. Replaced with wallet balance. Second one was lost and not recovered due to said same, aforementioned wallet not being fat enough. Third one was sold to make financial room for a Federal Corvette... and though I love my 'vette for it's unbridled, brutal and barbaric brawn... I miss my conda...
