What would be the best weapons loadout for the clipper?
Not sure where to put what weapon.

Not really.
I tried fixed beams on the narrower underside hardpoints, and they were still so wide that I found myself bracketing small targets. The hardpoints on the wingtips are even worse.
Needs a nose gun.

Thx for the reply, i'l go with gimballed for now then
Just to clarify:
Two C2 gimballed lasers will cost you about 1M for both and their thermal signature makes it so that you can keep them running for quite long with the Power not dying (and then keep one of them fully firing while the other acts as a pulse laser when the power distributor runs out) and it's a pretty decent build.
On the the other hand, you can have the two C3 beams, ~4.5M more damages but for a faster rate of depletion.
I have yet to try the hybrid with one C2/one C3.
On the belly it's really up to you, you can go for kinetic/thermal but it needs to be gimballed.
If you're looking for the cheap but still good option, go for 2xC3 G pulse lasers and 2xC2 G MC.

I thought about that, though still seemed a bit of a gap between the wingtips and the fuselage guns, so I didn't try it out. Do you know if it works? I did use 2x Gim Burst, 1x Gim Pulse and 1x fixed rockets in belly hardpoint, that worked out okay for large targets, just had to shoot a little off centre.
3G Beam and 3G Burst and 2x 2G Multicannon underneath.. I usually have the two lasers on 1 and KWS on 2, scan them and start pounding shields once it's finished.. Then I switch to both lasers on 1 and multicannon on 2, once the shield is down, pick the powerplant and smash it! Amazing how fast things die with those weapons.. All 4 weapons and a sidewinder dies in under 3 seconds NPC Conda in under 3 mins using the method above.. Awesome

And don't forget the shieldless Eagle in about half a second !
