New ship: Panther Clipper
- Thread starter Rubbernuke
- Start date
Indeed, I understand that - mine is the same, all criminal scum, of course, so not having the best in class for theft and murder would be very out-of-character.
I agree there also, we betray everyone equally, and would never be limited by becoming a lackey of any of the powers either!
I'm waiting too, out of principle, but also out of the feeling of "meh". This is a ship that has been overdue for so many years and now just feels late to the party as everyone is already preparing to go home or has already left. Also the shipkit we've been shown so far has to be the most terrible one of all the ones for the new ships. What's on offer for the T8 isn't much better, but still better. I guess it being late at least has the bonus that it's SCO optimized, which it wouldn't have been if released as the finishing roundup of the old batch of ships as it should have been.

One thing with the PC Mk2 I'm a bit disappointed with is the 10 hardpoints...it's too many. 2 large, 2 mediums would have done...or 0. 10 is just silly.
NPC pirates are not worth my time to engage...both time wise and credit reward wise.
4? I barely have time for 1...and I have lots of time.

I was very active for about 5 years and had 2 each in Colonia and the bubble...
Not very active recently, so 2 FCs decommissioned and the characters having a holiday
All the tubers say it handles well so I'm stoked. But I will be out of town for the next two weeks weeks so it won't be a day one purchase, but soon as I get back.
I think it ticks all the boxes for me.

It needed to be distinct movement-wise from the Cutter, so it’s good that they’ve achieved that. We’ll have to see how much the mass of cargo slows it down/changes its characteristics. 1238 tons is a lot of mass.
I'd have used it when I was colonising, but would struggle to find a use for it now.
for me it will be a sole cargo hauler (full capacity, no shields) from orbital station-FC-construction site.
Maybe I alternatively will try-out a shield/hull-tank config with turrets for hasrez later....

I never thought I would be saying this but.... why is it so small?
It's not small, but it should've been the biggest ship possible imo. It could've been 60 meters longer.
Exactly. I was expecting a titanic ship that filled the entire pad and took proper skill to even get out the mail slot.
To be fair, I think it might look a bit ridiculous if you stretched it 60 meters lengthwise.
Just why does it rise when deploying the SRV ? That creates an unneccessary drop height for the SRV, and the ramp hangs in the air. That makes no sense, please fix !
MLF: "Yo mamma"
I made this concept of the Panther Clipper Mk II XL. It's longer yet more elegant. The original looks like a bullfrog. The XL has more the shape of a panther.
