I've had this Clipper in storage for quite a while. I started outfitting it at one point, and then never finished working on it.
Today I decided to drag it out and work on it a bit more. I'm not sure yet what I even want from it, but it sure is a nice ship to fly. I love the cockpit.
Went mining for a short time, just to get the feel of the ship a bit, and maybe take a couple pot-shots at those lame pirates that often come by when you drop in. But of course, this time the only ships that came by to check on me were 2 Federal Security types, who just ignored me.
Oh well, the scenery was nice and I enjoyed the time

I've been developing my neutron boosting 7k out from the bubble. Not been out this far before but loving some new discoveries, neutrons, ammonia, water-world's. Earning some credits to push me from Pioneer but also become allied with some of the systems with Engineers in the bubble. Any suggestions on where to sell? I'm looking at you @Para Handy, since I know it's your kind of gig.
Got any Engineers your trying to rank up with? Some of them accept exploration data. How about permits you want? You can get allied with most any controlling faction by selling 8-9 million in exploration data. Just don't die before you sell it all
I always did the following:
Procyon or Lutyen's Star (since Avik is now in other hands) - Sirius Corporation - Qwent
Yoru - Party of Yoru - Nemo
Eurybia - Eurybiua Blue Mafia - Liz Ryder
78 Ursae Majoris or nearby to get allied with Alioth Independents for Alioth permit, needed for Bill Turner (as is getting friendly with the Alliance)
Not done them for a while so hope that is still OK info - good luck

Those ships combos look super cool! Do they actually work?It happens.

And the ships that come out of it are totally awesome, btw.

I mean, can you fly it with the cargo and weapons of both?
Looks like a transformer...
Decided to mothball the Sploraconda as it was too ponderous lining up for the next jump and emptied the tank by a third every time I hit my max range. The Phantom, for me, is much more viable, being more manoeuvrable and doing six or seven jumps before running on fumes and worrying about the Fuel Rats.
It will also jump 500LYs alot quicker than an FC so it's a win-win ship for me! And it doesn't need tritium: it runs on good ole leaded.
Man, I'm feeling that.
I don't plan to sell my Conda ever, too special. But I think she's about done for exploration. For really far flung, deep exploration I will always go back to my trusty Asp Explorer or my Phantom. Those ships are just fantastic for long range trips and so much easier to negotiate.

I love my Clipper. I found a job for it doing 'local' sightseeing trips in style. I use the Beluga for extended sightseeing with that big tank, but for scooping you can't beat a 7a or b scoop in a Clipper LOL. Done REALLY quick, probably before your honk.
Like you said, it's super-fun to fly!
Nah, it's just that there is a "ghost" of either your previous ship or somebody else's ship on the pad so they clip through, but when you take off, the other ship stays on the pad.
It's a shame, though, that Orca/Clipper hybrid in particular is really amazing and I wouldn't mind having one in my hangar.
The Clipper is an embodiment of mining with style and super comfortable to use in any situation. I aprove.I've had this Clipper in storage for quite a while. I started outfitting it at one point, and then never finished working on it.

No as the price is the same everywhere, but selling data is a fast way to get allied with a minor faction, which can help with permits and the like, or increase your rep with some engineers so it can be useful to have some available for those situations.
It happens.

The Clipporca looks really nice
TypeConda and the Cobber also look nice, but not as good
Now, if someone would build a tool where you can stack two ships in top of eachother so we could see more combos!
Anacobras, Diamondcutters... oh my.
Not to mention the ters and FADS!
Edit: it seems the cross of a CLIpper and a cuTTER is banned from the forums. That must be a true monster!
That's because the software think there is too much CLipper cUTTER Clutter around.
