A modded 4A Shield is what i use currently. The Clipper is fast enough to run from everything it can not defeat (especially NPCs), so more shields are not needed. I use the Class 6 slot though for a 6B Shield Cell Bank. 2 Shield Boosters and 2 Heatsinks are also there (u need the Heat Sinks to run the SCB). The 6B SCB has 6 charges that can replenish your shields from almost down to full strengh, even when fired upon.
I liked your idea when I 1st read it, but then again, on second thought... 4A??? Hmmm...
Gotta side with the "What are you using it for" crowd.
I have a Cheerleader myself, and I really like the ship - always have.
But it's absolutely a function-driven ship.
Let's take a look at a few configurations:

Just a question, why the 6D Thrusters? Why not 6A Thrusters instead, since they only have advantages? The Clipper can handle 6A Thrusters without power shortage issues, right?
