PvP Medium Imperial Ship for PVP ?

Can you tell me the average imperial ship for PVP battles?
I understand Cutter, but this is a separate story.

If an analogue ships: FDL, FAS, Alliance Chieftain, Krait Mk II, Mamba and etc

Or are the Imperials the most peaceful superpower in the game and it does not have such ships?

Thank.

It used to be the goto PVP ship.

Since engineers, its popularity has waned but can take a great deal of damage and control engagement distance.
So if used well, is still semi-viable.

I would love to see Aisling Duval Power Play locked imperial ship, and i would even make it as OP as possible, i would do anything to make their whole player group leave their private group and do stuff in open, srry for OT, but it was too tempting:)
Back to topic, all imperial ships in pvp are garbage, only imperial eagle is good in its class(better than sidys, eagles and adders, still worse than bigger flies), all rest is weaker than similar sized ships in combat. I see place for new vulture-FDL sized combat ship made by empire 2L+1M hardpoints, faster than vulture, a bit less agile, 4 utilities maybe.

Do you think it is worth making such an offer?
Maybe according to the idea of the FD, the empire is too peaceful to have decent warships ...

My Clipper is a miner because it does what imperials do best: Miss shots and run away.

Jokes aside, Clipper is the only "medium" ship from the imperials. There is no official imperial fighter like there is no small federal fighter. Bi-weave hulltank is the most common loadout and effective with gimballed MCs or frags. Other than that, it's really not much of a combat ship and you are having a disadvantage compared to most other ships.

We desperately need a good medium combat ship for the Empire. Something comparable to the FDL.
The Empire also lacks a medium freighter like the Python.

I think Gutamaya could make quite a few sales if they were smart about it.

People generally count the clipper as medium and run hybrid tank builds

The Clipper is definitely a large ship in size and slidey behaviour, and the hardpoint placement is far from perfect. It is fun to fly though.


My guess is that we will see one or two new medium imperial ships in the near future.
Fdev could add some true eye catchers to the fleet.
I'd be extremely happy with an imperial version of the Python. An imperial white Python with some cool engine pylons and a spoiler (like the Imperial Eagle) would look awesome.

I would support a new addition.

Trouble is they'd have to rework the ranking system to make it viable.


Also, Clippers = Ez kill for Rail Eagles.

Like stupid Ez.

Those. according to your clipper is a warship?
And he can fight on equal terms with FDL/KraitMK2 and etc ?

The Imperial Clipper is the quintessential Imperial ship. It epitomises elegance of form while delivering speed and agility. Because of its balance of speed, luxury and strength it is used for transporting valuable items and personnel of importance across the Empire.

The only thing I wish they would change on the clipper is the placement of the large hardpoints. If they could just move them in towards the middle of the ship it would be my favorite ship in the game hands down.
And what makes you think the clipper isn't a combat ship?
