For my part it's ok but in credits, not in ARX
New ship: Panther Clipper
- Thread starter Rubbernuke
- Start date
Agreed. I had to listen back to the stream, because of the roundabout way it was explained, but that's what was said. I now have it at 1236T Min-maxed.

It's ok for the game, and will get get when it comes to the game. ARX aren't the game part.

So to recap it for myself.
1x size 1
1x size 2
1x size 4
2x size 5
3x size 6
2x size 7
2x size 8
1 size 7 and 8 slot to fit those extra 50% cargo racks into (this is folded into the above numbers already, right?), they say in the relevant stream segment
... definitely awaiting some more solid info on how the thing handles with fully engineered A rated thrusters before making any decisions one way or the other, anyway.

That's your own fault. If you lived somewhere else you could be doing maths during the morning
So is the rest of the ship filled with nice pillows to protect the delicate cargo?
They make the biggest flyable ship in the game, then cripple its capacity - it was predicatable, true - but I don't think it will make enough of a dent in colonisation hauling to encourage me to do more, and doesn't carry sufficiently more to make it worth buying to refill my FC at CB56... Or relive some factions of copious amounts of Palladium!
That 2100t cargo included the space need for shields, fuel tanks, drives and so on, y'know what we now have as dedicated core internals. It was never ever going to have that capacity in pure cargo space.
so it is basically
1x size 1
1x size 2
1x size 4
2x size 5
3x size 6
2.5x size 7
2.5x size 8
Right? That makes 1238 shieldless, right?
So Galnet News Digest calculate 1430 tons:
But that is based on 4 optimised (+50%) cargo slots.
In the livestream they specify further: the PC "has two slots that are specifically designed to only take specific modules" and "there are specific modules that will only fit in these slots so only the Panther can have them and that is, specifically, a size 8 and a size 7 on the Panther".
So if the PC has only one optimized size 8 and one optimized size 7 slot (leaving one ordinary of each) it looks to me like the GND calculation would be out by 192 and the actual number would be 1238.
However, GND will be basing their video on info received direct from FDev, embargoed until the end of the stream, that might supercede the contents of the recorded segment, so ..

You (expletive deleted)!!!That's your own fault. If you lived somewhere else you could be doing maths during the morning
Its not the maths, but not having this info on a slide for reference.
Powerpoint is soooooo 2010s
So if 1238 tons (or so) for the PC is the max. 2x round trips full cargo would equal 3 trips (or so) of the prior maxxed out cargo haulers. Over time that will help move alot more cargo, faster
At least someone pays me for the maths I do in the morning and afternoon!That's you own fault. If you lived somewhere else you could be doing maths during the morning
It means I can screencap and not misremember mumbling
... in other words we have a "Frontier to English" moment where the explanation was clear to them but not necessarily so much to the players?
Because I'm certainly confused.
50% isn't enough, it's just not. They didn't even confirm that much, they said "around 50%". Which could mean even less.
The hardpoints are also just...really bad. Everyone told me to ignore the data-mined numbers that came out a few weeks ago, and it turns out that's exactly what the PC will have, ugh.
Just a major let down. It's too big and slow and poorly armed to do anything but hauling, but it doesn't excel enough as a hauler to make the tradeoffs worth it for Colonization.
Yep. basically this. I understood it different. We demand a power point presentation! *goes off to write an open letter...
I am sorry to say this but my friend and who have both played elite since it very first started will no longerplay this wonderful game if we don't get a powerpoint in june.
We have talked at length about this and this our conclusion.

So will it be a good hull tank if setup that way? Or a shield tank? I wonder what it will feel like to fly...
Also newer better t10 type build with 10 turrets should be interesting
