New ship: Panther Clipper
- Thread starter Rubbernuke
- Start date
Just looking at t-9 optionals, 1050t is my guess. 1200 at the highest though. People wanting 1500 are coping.
Never mind, lol, I am already doing that in my Cutter.
Maybe ATC won't tell me to make way for large vessels when transiting the air lock?
Who cares Captain Nitpick? That has nothing to do with the capacity or affected anyone's answers lol. I didn't even notice that when I first saw the poll. Irrelevant.
That would really be a cool thing. They should instead be panicking and shouting "Clear the mailsot ! Clear the mailslot ! 3500t behemoth coming through !". And no, that's not cargo capacity but total mass. Hull around 1300-1500t, cargo 1200t, rest is modules. Not too unrealistic, my Cutter comes in at 2566t fully laden.Maybe ATC won't tell me to make way for large vessels when transiting the air lock?
There, there!
This is what some engineer should develop, Tardis improvement for cargo racks! From 5% to 50% increase.

I think who ever designed the Cobra MK V already trialed that tech!.
regarding the poll it is heartening (imo) to see that the numbers are not totally insane.
I don't think those hoping for 1200-1500 is utterly unrealistic and plenty more would be happy with anything 1000t+
Some on this forum were demanding 3000+ or it's a fail iirc and am glad they appear to be a minority.
Demanding 3000+ is due to the lore from when the Ships were originally founded back in the 80's game lore. the clipper was supposed to be able to bring in everything a colony needed in one shipment so 3000+ would not be far off the mark.
Yep, I'm one of those (well not demanding) because 728t in a Clipper (I never go shieldless) means literally hundreds of loads to shift if I wish to delve deeper into colonisation experimentation, so something that could shift at least 7 times that amount makes sense in my ancient old noggin. But, as always, the conservative incremental improvement is likely to be FD's choice. (at least full details weill be released tomorrow, and I hope they have been super conservative, to keep the majority happy with an extra 50t or so carrying capacity)
I may be in a minority - which may also be because I wan't my gaming to be entertainment.
It’s Tuesday. Does that answer the question?So nowt on the FU about the clipper or did i sleep through that bit?

They never said "and next time we will release full details" but 'we'll talk a bit more'.
This anxiety and uncertainty will not end tomorrow - they will torment us more.
(I hope I'm wrong)
I initially thought you'd gone over to CMDR Thrust's at Bradford for dinner and a couple of drinks...Guess which old muppet just watched last months without realising? Its been a long day

Mate i even said to my Mrs "i feal like they said this last month".
I blame her.

Pls gib stats on Sidey MK II !!!
That's the problem with listening to third-hand information...
I don't do whatever social media they elect to communicate their intentions, so pick up from folk typing about it elsewhere.
