Hi 
Yeah, I would have thought that once you'd obtained the ship either by early access or later on for credits you could obtain those special cargo racks fairly easily through normal gameplay.

If that were the case I'd be quite annoyed and would certainly voice my disapproval!....but I can't see any valid reason why Frontier would in all honesty do this.

Hmm... can you really buy a module if you can't install it in your current ship?
This would be an excellent opportunity to play with special modules as another ARX option, and also a sneaky way to introduce them.
Yes, that has been introduced a long time ago already. Which would have given me the opportunity to actually buy a size 8D FSD a while ago, but with the Panther only having a size 7 slot, I'm happy that I didn't.
I've made a mistake calling myself that on occasion, haven't I.
Hi All
Do we (as players) know what time on Tuesday Frontier will release the ship in question by any chance?

Just one sleep 'til Clippymas

If it’s a ‘standard’ update patch I’d expect it the game to come online again between 12 and 3pm ‘in-game/utc’ time. If it’s a larger job it could be 5pm ‘in-game/utc’ time. Those are just estimates based on previous updates though and are fairly meaningless. The true answer as far as I’m aware is a simple ‘no,’ we’re not aware yet.Hi All

Check the updates sub forum later this afternoon when we hopefully get a new thread with the relevant info.
EDIT: Just realised who I’ve replied to, I’m sure you know all that already
There isn't even a downtime/patch announcement yet.
Its our fault, we didnt work the CG fast enough. Not enough bytes to draw all the ships for the release
It's odd that the cg is still on but.. I believe the ship is still scheduled to release 22 July.Its our fault, we didnt work the CG fast enough. Not enough bytes to draw all the ships for the release
Hi
Can't blame me!...I'm still deliverin' stuff.
Though I tried just now to do this CG in Open for a change.......station slot stuffed, there was quite a few commanders in open showing. I'm ashamed to say I got impatient waiting (at least 5min on auto dock.) and there was an Anaconda apparently blocking the entrance just inside the slot, slightly sideways on, I didn't see if it was a player or npc. I managed to get part way in with my Cutter but I also got partly stuck....so I hit the boost button.
I was 'reprimanded' by the station but wasn't awarded a fine or bounty and touched down gently on pad 32.
I'll be back in Solo (as I usually play) for the next delivery, so apologies for any disruption I might have caused other players.

If the Panther release goes according to schedule it'll be hilarious to see Panthers doing their own release CG for the last 2 days of it. I might have to visit the station bar in open and watch out for any
I'm hoping that won't be the case with the clipper, and honestly never for any modules. That would be the essence of pay to win.

Do we know that for a fact or are you just assuming?
We know that for a fact from the Frontier Unlocked stream - special modules that can only fit in the special slots. You can probably just buy the Mk.II cargo racks to storage, but you cannot do anything with them unless you have a PC2. Refer to this bit if you need a refresh of memory.
