New big ship

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Given the amount of haulage colonisation needs and how much tritium the FC required (if you do haul your tritium to it), what's the opinion on getting a new large ship?

My thinking is one that can take twice the amount a T9 can,; say 1,400 tons, on a double-decker like affair (so it can still use a standard large pad).

"Something that rhymes with Anther Ipper"?

If FD hadn't already said the next ships after the Corsair will be Larges (iirc), I'd say we get a small-pad Cobra Mk 7 / Alliance Charger

I really really can't wait for the Corsair, the Cobra V on the other hand doesn't interest me at all.

The other M's FD gave us are real hits (although a bit power creepy), T8 best M hauler, Py2 one of the best M combat ships, Mandy hands-down the best explorer of all classes.
Corsair propably a M iClipper, fast and useful (I hope).

Next should be Panther Clipper (SCO and 1000 tons of cargo equipped ), maaaaybee Imperial Explorer or Boa? Or something completely new?
But at this point, the Panther is a must, and I can't stand the Cutter any more, seriously FD. Gib Panther Clipper!

Oooh, wait a minute. A double decker won't go through the mail slot. Need to go back t'drawin' board.

Fixed that for you

The perils of G5 forehead engineering. Applying that Monstered experimental was overkill.

Fixed that for you

The thing is, do you like that design of the Panther Clipper? What would you like it to look like?

I would chose this one, it should be a bigger bulkier box than the T9.

The format last year was <meme> <meme> <meme> <rework of a classic>

So I expect the PC at the end of the year. And maybe the Boa at the end of next year.

Thing is, since the Anaconda is still as good as it is, can you imagine what its replacement will be like to top it?

You know what?
Given the direction where things normally go when people ask for new things, I wouldn't be surprised if they released a Tiger Trimmer, instead.

For the lols, albeit functionally identical.

You mean we're finally getting the DBXXXXXXL?

I can go with the looks

With all the moaning over the years, I would like them to release a ship that is called Panther Clipper, but is really the smallest, slowest, most useless ship you can think of. The Spinal Tap version of the Sidewinder if you will (not that the sidewinder is useless... but a large cargo hauler it ain't).

This is a very stern look in your direction.

If it will fit in the hanger it will fit through the mail slot, if flown carefully.

Too small, it doesn’t fit into the corners of the pad.

To maximise the number of optional slots for cargo should it only have one utility slot and one small hardpoints with the core slots as small as possible?
