Core Dynamics bid to takeover Lakon will be celebrated through launching a new ship - The Panther Clipper!

[Miko]

Core Dynamics will be successful in their bid to acquire Lakon, and with it we will see the announcement of a new ship - The Panther Clipper. The Panther Clipper will send share prices through the roof. And what better time to release this new pup than with an overhauled Odyssey release? Note the mail slots are fatter...

Ready up your credits, scrubs... The time is nigh!

And is this announcement wishful thinking? Or do you have a pipeline straight to FD Central?

Here in Amurica, we have had any number of wishful thinking pronouncements recently, hate to think the ED/FD multiverse would become similarly afflicted as well.

My vote is for a Corvette MkII.

Fantasy paralleling reality.

And is this announcement wishful thinking? Or do you have a pipeline straight to FD Central?

To be fair here...

1) Panther Clipper has been a part of the Elite franchise for quite some time before Elite: Dangerous.
2) Corvette MkII is pure fiction on your part.
3) Panther Clipper might be THE option for those that can't stand having to deal with their own FC or even save up for one, now that the credit income activities are being balanced.

Panther Clipper Mk II

Not to be confused with Panther Clipper LX. The Panther Clipper Mk II is an upcoming large freighter ship produced by Zorgon Peterson. It is the first large SCO-optimized ship in Elite Dangerous. The concept art for this ship was shown during the monthly Frontier Unlocked on 30 April 2025. No...

It's all fiction in the end, if you can wish for the Panther, then anyone can wish for their "insert ship name" dreams.

Lakon have the cargo ships, Core Dynamics have the warships... Add the two and you get a Panther Clipper. Winner.

The Panther Clipper is a Zorgon Peterson ship, which in turn was already bought by Faulcon DeLacy in 3126.

Ergo, it's a near zero chance anything related to this Core Dynamics and Lakon story will result in the Panther Clipper.

But FD could release it anyhow as Faulcon DeLacy rubbing their superiority in the collective faces of both Core Dynamics and Lakon.
