New ship: Panther Clipper
- Thread starter Rubbernuke
- Start date
Did a bit of light photoshopping on the WIP Panther screenshots and upscaled to 1440px.
Figured I'd share with the community.
I tried to upload the files directly to the forum, but they're too large, so have linked to my cloud storage below:

Panther Clipper needs a special feature were we honk the discovery scanner and NPCs traffic moves out the way.
100%!! I've always honked the discovery scanner and flashed my landing lights when entering the slot in my T9, to at least warn human players (although I'm not sure that the honk is audible by other players). When it's busy I use auto-pilot which knows when other NPC ships are exiting the slot.
And after that, the mailslot should hopefully be sufficiently widened to silence the eternal questions “How do I get through the mailslot”...
Are we sure it doesn't get a class 8 FSD?First step towards the Panther made: I went to Titan ruins in Sol, collected Drive Component and made SCO Pre-Engineed FSD 7 (and mass-managed it with Felicity) and stored it at Shirarta.
Now all I have to do is wait
One more 7 FSD DeLuxe can't hurt
According to the current outbidding competition to sufficiently honor the monstrosity of the brick, there should be a separate FSD size class for the Panther - less than the opening of a spectacular jump portal (analogous to capital class ships) would not be worthy of a Panther Clipper!

Estimate #2; reduced hull mass (3,000t > 1,800t) and cargo (2,000 units > 1,500 units); 7A FSD:

Could it be something historical? Since largest in that list FSD (SCO) and pre-eng. V1 are still Class 7.
looks like a solid calculation. And there are players who demand MORE storage? If that happens the PC won't jump more than 10ly
As long as it can jump 15!looks like a solid calculation. And there are players who demand MORE storage? If that happens the PC won't jump more than 10ly

with a Guardian FSD but that is going to reduce one slotAs long as it can jump 15!

Yes there are.
And to the weight and jump 'n all, there's a ship called Anaconda. Look it up.
I love the design of the PCMkII, too! I wish FDev had followed the Prometheus' design and put the bride at the nose tip. Those scenes of landing the ship were some of the best in terms of landing scenes in movies.
But then there may be copyright issues...
which is made of Anacondium and more or less a bug which can't be fixed without having 90% of the player base crying out. I don't believe that FDev would repeat this error deliberately.
