So I've never really given my clipper much use. I bought her about a year ago and she's just sat there with all sorts of powerplay mods and engineered bits on. I basically used her for storing mods before mod storage.

Any tips on an agile ramming and an agile non ramming build for pvp and pve because I may buy 2. You never know.

Cheers in advance commanders.

Engineer it. Ftl and engines and it becomes a fun ship. And get an extra fuel tank. The stock one is way too small.

So I recently purchased a Clipper myself. The last time I flew one was when Frontier lifted the rank for a few months. Ever since then, I wanted to make this my "go-to" ship and sad to say I sold it after only a few days and about 30 hours of flight time. The Clipper reminds me of that hot girl in a sexy dress you start talking to at the bar after a few drinks. At first its amazing, then after some conversation and getting to know her, you realize she's not what you thought, but she's sexy!!

Exactly right!

A fun ride, but gets a bit boring after a while as it doesn't do much of any one thing very well - other than look sexy and being fun to drive hard.

Hmmm... maybe that's enough!!

Clipper is one of my fave ships :) It is like a big cobra mk3.

A fast, agile multi-purpose run-about.

I don't do serious combat in it though.

Clipper's achilles heel is its weak shielding + big big target. The hardpoint conversion too, but that can be worked around, whereas the weak shield can't be really. That probably precludes it from being a wise choice for combat main - but it still excels at hit & run engagements. You just need to stay in control, and know when to break off. Which you can do pretty easily with its superior speed & manauverability.

Tbh if the clipper wasn't weakly shielded, it would probably be too good.

always a fun ship to fly backwards in combat, hard point placement sucks with fixed weapons, but she's a dream to fly...

historically speaking all vessels (ships) are referred to as "her / she" similar to how they name cyclones after woman.... (and before anyone replies with that's a sexist comment etc. no offence is implied what so ever..)
