New ship: Panther Clipper

At least until I get home... 👀
 
Less agile than the Cutter, noticeably so, but maybe I'm flying it wrong.

After rewiewing the coriolis stats, I'm tempted to use 8D dirty drag thrusters.

Anyone already tested that? Less power draw, less cost, only 20 m/s speed loss.

8A Dirty Drag, and you'll be smiling. No compromises there.

I made both like this, and they fly like a dream. The only thing Cutter still has better is a direct forward speed.
 
The hell happened to "make way for larger vessels"? I AM THE LARGER VESSEL!

I've had to pay half a dozen fines because some dingo in his Cobra had to squeeze himself into the mailslot while I was in there. Of course I had to push them out, and now they're all "meh reckless flying wah causing damage".

The Panther Clipper should come with a collision fine flatrate.
 
I had a Krait II bounce off my PC while I was boosting through the mailslot on the way out, he had some hull left so I don't know what his problem was, and I got a 50cr fine, biased, or what!!!

Mine has an ADC.

First time I undocked, it lifted serenely off the pad (while I watched using the external camera), collected a DBX and squished it against a passing T9.
Looking back at the PC2, as it passed through the mailslot, there was an explosion inside Jameson Memorial but I'm sure that was a coincidence, right?

Right? :whistle:
 
I'm enjoying my PC2, but I'm a little annoyed that none of the modules (on the Stellar version) are engineered -- not that I can't engineer them myself, but still.

Also, I'm hoping the devs will turn the second Class 8 optional slot into another cargo slot. It's silly we're artificially capped with one 8 and one 7 of those new cargo racks.
