All ships in the game follow the law of Physics known as "Because FDev say so".
Could be 800t, could be 8000t - Because FDev say so. It's literally guesswork until they confirm it.
My estimate: Cautious escalation of stats like with the equally much anticipated jump range of the Mandalay when it was announced. At the very most, I expect it to have maybe 2xC8, 4xC7 (or equivalent) = 1024t and a few small slots for flight assistants or other bits. At minimum, just scratching 800t to exceed the Cutter by the lowest possible margin which would give you an SCO-optimised Cutter without the rank requirement. Should it turn out much bigger to satisfy all the colonisers' wet dreams, it would mean a change of direction in development.
Although equally, the closer they have it to a Cutter's capacity, the less people will be inclined to pay real money for one.
6101t capacity
100 Ly jump
Can Mass Lock a gas giant
777 M/s in free space, fully laden
So well shielded and armoured it can crash into the aforementioned GG and move it somewhere convenient in the system.
But then, I know as well as others this is just a fabrication - it seems both FD and players enjoy absolutely bland... (going from comments made by others when I've had a little fun fabrication, good is bad...)
You can see this is totally false by looking at the ships we already have.
Oh of course, but those systems - I have 3-4 of them - should be neglected. Move on and colonize more, for me only those with HMC planets with planetary build possible are worth the effort. And there it works magnificent now.Not if the system you managed to get your paws on in a region you wanted to have a system in only has icy worlds
Move on. It will be worth it.
Maybe, but you could say the same about the Mandalay which many expected to break the 100 ly barrier. Yet it is a huge success even for other roles than just exploration. People tend to focus on only one number when a new product is announced, after release this dissipates and you discover all the possibilies. An SCO-optimised Cutter-equivalent obtainable for ARX instead of the rank grind would still be a winner, I think.
Well I'm an optimistic pessimist, on the basis that I'm either right about something, or pleasantly surprised to be wrong.
That's true. I hadn't thought about all those far flung stations with good prices of stuff that even in a SCO FSD Cutter are a pain to get to.
My only sad is that the Panther does not do this:
But ... but this time it's special
Yes it's special time, and players have been waiting for the panther for a long time
Nothing justifies the hack, I don't do it and I have no clue about how doing it anyway, but it's hard to blame players for wanting information when devs are so stingy about giving it.
I don't even know how to get universal cartograpic in my station... even though the feature is online. Even on that, players are forced to speculate
If, during yesterday's stream, they had communicated about the ship's specs, this wouldn't be happening.

Is this how they create panthers, they give birth to little panthers?
I have seen elephant mate, but Panthers could be interesting
How long before Bigmaec becomes a daddy?
I guess it's kinda of cool we have a ship so big it has it's own moons in orbit around it!
Fitting through a mail slot? No problem! It comes stock with its own can opener!
