Yeah nothing pushes game developers to really knock something out of the park than a playerbase that has such pitifully low expectations, ugh.

Something hauling a "little bit" more than the Cutter isn't worth the ARX. And if we don't damn well hold the line and make that clear, than they WILL do the bare minimum and deliver that to us.

I know right. Like I want something that is AT LEAST, worth two T9s in one, like THAT amount of cargo space minimum. Now because I know there is such a thing as slot creep. Maybe they could pair this thing with a "High Capacity Cargohold" that only the clipper and other "heavy" freighters, like the type 9 (if they ever make more than 2) can use. Similar to how only luxury liners can equip the luxury cabin. That way you can use it as a BIG HUGE hauling vessel, while still somewhat balancing the slots so it doesn't get excessive.

Just a thought, not sure if it's good one, but there it is. But have it balanced in the all the non hauling related roles that one would try to use it for, but somehow allow it to excel greatly in that ONE role of hauling. Not sure how you do that without restricted slots or like I said before, special case cargohold modules that would be the equivalent to the luxury cabin.

Personally, my dream is: 1000-1100t cargo capacity, handling/speed is in some ways better than the Type-9 (not all – strong vertical thrust would be especially good), powerful distributor but hardpoint selection relegates it to mostly defensive turret use (esp. underbelly hardpoints – make it a brutal air-to-surface ship, but bad at forward firing and with an exposed back), average laden jump range and decent stripped down unladen range, SLF compatible, and my real dream – support for a Class 8 'small ship bay'.

Would be an excellent trader, really thematic heavy air-to-surface ship against ground installations (mostly an RP thing), a decent enough miner (with an odd 'point belly to the rock' style... Cutters will still have advantages), and might suit a particular kind of slow exploration where the Panther-Clipper is your mobile base and carries a small ship as a xenobiology runabout (again mostly an RP thing as carriers do this better).

Realistically I hope for everything except the small ship bay, which isn't going to happen.

Your "dream" is something that barely holds more than a Cutter. Your dreams make me sad 😐

Two things:

1. Even at the lower end (1000t), it'd hold more relative to an Imperial Cutter (+26%) than Frontier's Panther-Clipper held compared to Frontier's equivalent of the Imperial Cutter (+18%).
2. It's one thing that you want to post a lot to talk about what you want, but jeez, can you let other people talk about what they want? We know you want something different, you don't need to quote every post with a different perspective to say "not this" and every post with the same to say "yes this".

Now you're making me sit here and questioning whether or not I should reply to you because you're saying I'm talking too much. But since you directly quoted/replied to me, NOT doing so might be rude.

Like...what are you doing to me? Can I talk about the ship or not? You're making this way too stressful and anxiety-inducing...
