Panther Clipper? Pit-Con.

Are these like wing flaps to slow down the descent ?
Ramps to get into the ship?
Some sort of huge landing gear?

The 4 thruster clusters do not support the ship. The things you highlighted are probably the landing gear.
For some reason I thought the ginormous downwards thrusters were landing gear feet. But you are probably right: They are thrusters, not landing gear. Which would mean we are actually under the entire ship, rather than looking at it from the outside (like in my recreation picture). That would probably make it even bigger than it appears.

They are both. If you look at the brightened pic I posted you can see legs between the thrusters but common to the 'pod'.
 
Remember, when we got the image of that welder-guy standing in the engine-nozzle of the then mystery ship? It turned out to be the Mandalay. That was going to be the Panther thingy too...

Internalize the size of the mail-slot. Become aware of the dimensions of a large landing pad, including over-all height. Those would be the constraints of whatever large hauler we might see. FDev isn't going to invent an entire mechanic, loading via umbilical or any such, just to release a playable ship. IMO, of course.
 
Yep, the full cube of the L pad is not really used by most L ships. If we couid hit 1000 cargo in something that would be a serious upgrade and my god I'd buy it even were it less just so I never have to fly that hunk of festering cow crap T9 again.
My fear is that it fly worse than the T-9 and Cutter...
And I'm afraid it will get the T-7 or T-9 cockpit.
I hope so, I love the views from the Lakon bridges...
I wonder which ships will be able to pass through the slot at the same time...
Only the sidewinder and then you have to fly it sideways and hug the bulkheads...

The ship kit won't have wings, it will be a series of rollers to guide the ship in... It will also have the new size 8 fighter bay that will take sidewinders or eagles...

You don't think the Hauler will fit?
