The bigger hull size means they are even easier to casually destroy in CZ's while you look for a real target.
There are plenty of good reasons to keep the Clipper. It's very fast and agile vessel, cost effective gank proof cargo runner in open, a solid choice for a pirate, an awesome mining ship, good for pvp and ramming (hull tank frag clipper), some also use the the Clippa with great success as an exploration vessel. No point in selling that ship, you just only need to find a proper use.
Like a T-9- brilliant those things in CZs. It's like someone strapped a handgun to a Tapir and sent it out into the Somme.
Hmm I've always seen it as
FFE Imp Courier = ED Imp Clipper
FFE Imp Trader = none
FFE Imp Explorer = none
FFE Eagle Mk III = ED Imp Eagle
FFE None = ED Imp Cutter
The FFE Courier was a medium to large vessel, much larger than the Cobra Mk III and a serious opponent. The Trader was larger, but nowhere near the size of the Cutter, and had three main engines. The Eagle Mk III was an Imperial variant and available in Imperial shipyards

Clipper rams are easier to hit with

FD could not even get this nomenclature right:
In naval usage, a cutter is a transom-sterned utility boat, usually propelled by oars or motor and capable of being taken aboard a ship.
Clipper ships were all built with three masts and each mast carried square sails. The original clipper ships were fast and scaled the globe to bring products such as gold from California and tea from China to the shores of Great Britain.
So the Clipper should have been the Cutter, and the Cutter should have been the Clipper

This not.
Spoon talk. Clipper is the best pirate ship and low cost BGS killer going.
Can you explain more about BGS killing and why the Clipper excels at it?
Clipper is:
cheap
fast stock / G1
has enough weapons to kill weak ships
good SC agility
good enough agility elsewhere
Goes BWWWWWAAAAACCHHHHOOOOMMMMMM in the boost which makes the mayhem x 1000 times better
It's fast but fairly big with decent guns so you can splat something and run away right under the noses of security ships. It used to be the go to ganker ship pre engineering for that reason.
