Time for some necromancy — has anyone used the Star Python in the field?

Only memory I have of using it was in a Wobbies vs. Wolf's Dragoons scenario.  I misjudged a move trying to dash to cover and left it exposed in front of an oncoming Annihilator.  I was hoping the +3 movement mod (rather than the +4 I thought I would be getting) would help but it didn't.  I managed to score a head hit on the Annie with one of the medium lasers (think it was the -2A version) before being vaporized on the return volley.

EDIT:  I meant the -2A version of the Nexus, not the Annie.  :grin:

cheers,

Gabe

So, now I'm imagining people boxing up Overlords for loading as cargo.  "Nope, totally not a DropShip.  Everyone knows you can't fit a DropShip in a WarShip!  It's...a ten thousand ton box of marshmallows!  Yeah.  For the Heavy Guards big annual smores party."
