Nice stats.
Had a Clipper once literally for 24 hours. Boy I dislike Gutamaya cockpits. Sold my Cutter for essentially the same reason. Plus the T9 cargo buff.
But why the 3D shields? Weight savings? Power?

Thats an interesting concept for a 'general purpose bubble hopper' for sure.
My 2cts:
-The clipper is a great ship, but it is 'large'. Thats a pretty serious limiting factor for the whole general purpose thing. No outpost for you.
-With a 3d Shield apparently 'combat' is not part of that 'general purpose', right?
-Xeno scanner and field neutraliser, what for?
-Are you sure that a class 4 scoop wont suffice?

It's not a combat ship, don't do much combat. Just need enough to escape. Not killed any ships this year yet.
It has a class 6A fuel scoop.
Need xeno scanner for ship scans. Field neutraliser is for protection against hyperdictions when carrying meta-alloys from the Pleiades.
