That was my understanding tooI noticed the text detailing the discount had gone, but I thought the discounts were still applying.
Do I need to change my glasses?
New ship: Panther Clipper
- Thread starter Rubbernuke
- Start date
I noticed that there is no Kickstart discount shown either. Only the Elite and Founder discounts being shown in Shin Dez, but not other places. The Kickstarter discount should be available everywhere.I noticed the text detailing the discount had gone, but I thought the discounts were still applying.

I've checked the price in your screenshot vs Coriolis. It seems the discount is still in effect, maybe just a missing text bug ?Ticket created:

So... here it is. 1152 tons of cargo, size 6 prismatics with four boosters for now, engineered default armor, SCO drive of course - all still missing experimentals. 1658 shields, 1473 armor, so basically a paper plane for that size. Not planning to take it to open. I added a size 4 FSD booster for convenience, it jumps 40 ly empty, 28.5 ly fully loaded.
Flying it in VR is an interesting experience. Not as boring as the Type 9, by orders of magnitude less disgusting than the Cutter
. Bridge is interesting, view out the canopy is quite restricted. But so far I like it - not sure if I like it enough to drive it for hours on end, but for now it is fun.
Also survived my first NPC interdiction in it. The good: I won. The bad: The minigame UI disappears beyond the window frame. Oh well.
So I present: Crunchy Frog.

Yeah, I just checked Shin Dez against EDSY prices and I would concur that it is just missing text after all.

especially from that view, it looks so much like a bullfrog and nothing like a panther...
that was my first thought too - it is really annoying not to able to read the distance when approaching your target
Well ya, I mean c'mon the Pink Panther paint job would be very appropriate. Maybe some Henry Mancini music for auto docking/launching to go with it. Ooo and a tail that wags! Side note- cool ship name
I haven't had time to get one yet, I am very pleased to see I was wrong to assume and speculate about the jump ranges. Am very glad to read the weapon mount was changed so it doesnt shoot through a hundred feet of the hull. I'm still in favor of a couple of hundred more tons, but that is a very trivial wish. I am so excited about this ship. The hype, the mystery, the cryptic information, and this past weeks community goal has been an absolute roller coaster of fun for me. *i'm up, I'm down, I'm all over the damn place, all very well done! Holy crapith i cannie wait to play with this thing!
Yeah this is really weird feeling.
Yeah, it's like the ships chair begins to roll before the ship actually start rolling.
An even better location to get the turrets swapped to point aft.
Standard price for the top paint jobs unfortunately.10000 for midnight black paint job
I have done two runs in the CG from a Coriolis to planetside bases it was a pleasant experience, roll feels slowish pitch is good and yaw almost the same as roll.
Beat an NPC interdiction on one trip and squeezed through a partially blocked slot twice.
Loop of SCO overshoot isn't as fast as some.
Unfortunately I didn't bring my Cutter to compare and while it is nice to fly I am not sure comparing it to a Corsair is fair.
Another 1800t would go down nicely, but, even after my whining about low capacity (I'm on 1100+ with good enough shields) it is not too bad to fly, worse than the Cutter but better than the T-9, it does feel 'heavy', so nice!
I suspect, even with its miniscule capacity, once you drop off 1k+ it might grow on you...
It worth giving up 16t of cargo space for a class 4 FSD Booster. I see so many not using it.
2x Panther Clippers purchased. Much like CMDR Helmut Grokenberger's with only minor variations. I'll keep the shields at least until I know the ship sizes better and can avoid scraping the docking slot in best Galaxy Quest style.
My ship names for the Panther Clippers:
If I Fits I Sits
Too Much Cargo.
Might be revised if I come up with better names.
