A5 Imperial Clipper?

[Malek]

Hi,

I've been toying with the idea of changing my trader clipper into something a little more combat ready. I'm not at the point where I can afford the A6 upgrades yet but would love to add a little variety to the trade running and do the odd combat mission.

This is what I was thinking....

With the upgrades I lose 12T cargo and about 0.8LY fully laden so the affect on my trading would be minimal. But I was curious if anyone has tried a similar setup with this awesome vessel and if not what is the general opinion, are the A5 modules "enough" for some general NPC hunting?

You tell me. If they don't work, just sell them, you get 100% of your money back for the modules you sell.

Hi commander,

I have this excellent ship too, with 168 t cargo and same jump range , but more centred on combat : 2 beam lasers gimballed D2 (soon C3) on L hardpoints + 2 multi-cannon gimballed, A6 shield / A6 power distributor / A5 power plant (perfect with this build) and it's perfect for multi-purpose.

For A6 modules : in Empire systems Urvane, Minanes you'll find everything you want.

Contrary to popular belief, the Clipper is a very good dogfighter, undermined only by its shield strength, its subpar FSD (still decent) and the fact that it costs 110K to repair 10%...
