1xC8 and 1xC7 special racks.
New ship: Panther Clipper
- Thread starter Rubbernuke
- Start date
Not if you work out the modules and the 2 special ones
2x8
2x7
3x6
2x5

Special modules 7 and 8 boosted? Are they extra or from that selection?
O7
Wasn't really sold on a dedicated hauler, can't say I am excited now either, but then I don't have the nostalgic attachment to the ship from older game(s) either.
Will the bank account be safe? To be determined, likely on the basis of whether I feel much motivation to continue building my colonization systems at the time of early (access) release.

Just using your post for handy reference. It might be helpful to people to think of it this way
With the +50% Optimised Cargo Racks fitted, the equivalent would be:
1x1 (Probably for Planetary Approach Suite, FDev have included these in the past)
1x2
1x4
2x5
4x6 (3 + 1 from the 50% bump to the 7s)
3x7 (2 + 1 from the 50% bump to the 8s)
2x8
EDIT: I'd missed the bit where there are only 2 slots that are capable of fitting the special modules, and with size 7 & 8 available it makes sense that it's one of each.
That takes it down to 1236T maximum.

2 + 4 + 16 + 64 +192 + 384 + 512 tons = 1174 tons
Minus shield (64) minus DC (2) = 1108 tons.
That's good. I take it.
I interpreted it as there being 2 each C7 and C8, and one of each of those is special. i.e. those special slots aren't extra ones on top of the ones they listed.
That’s very underwhelming.
Even if it was the same tonnage as T-9, it's likely to be optimized for supercruise overdrive, which ain't nothing 
I'll definitely get one or two. (Gotta try it out for mining too). But whether I ARX or wait TBD
I think I'll ARX for the prong though

It's 50% more than the best hauler in the game, what's underwhelming with that?
Hehehe, no kidding. You just missed a chance of a decade to wind us all up by saying "meh, not big enough, I am going to skip this one"
Maybe it is just because I remeber flying the original panther clipper and its 2000t cargo space...
Yes, that does appear to be what they said.
So, effectively 2.5 size 7's, and 2.5 size 8's.
It's 1238 tons empty, I called it, said 1200. I just wish the said how many utilities... And speed...
That it does virtually nothing to significantly help the grinding of colonization.
Seeing another Arx purchase and trip to Beagle Point in my future
Then you remember wrong, because as stated umpteen times the 2100 ton was the maximum payload, you had to add drives and guns etc.
Although to be quite honest, my biggest complaint about the PC is FDev are making me do maths during an evening.
