New ship: Panther Clipper

A.I. is becoming quite scary. Does ChatGPT actually have the spare capacity to play?
Subject: I'm out. For real this time.

That’s it. I’m done. I’ve duct-taped my HOTAS into a permanent salute, uninstalled Odyssey mid-jump, and written "CMDR [REDACTED] was here" on a Thargoid interceptor in laser fire.

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey is not just broken, it's a crime scene. Every time I log in, I feel like I'm trying to resuscitate a canary that died in 2021. "The game is dead." Say it with me now. D-E-A-D. Like a Cobra MkIII doing a faceplant into an atmospheric moon with a missing collision mesh.

And before any of you digital vultures come pecking at my remains — I'm burning all my stuff so don't ask. Ships? Gone. Credits? Vaporized. That one engineered G5 Dominator suit I named Susan? Set her on fire and tossed her out the airlock during a load screen. If it wasn't nailed to the perch, it would be in the bottom of the cage with the rest of my expectations.

"But why, CMDR? Why now?" Because I just spent 45 minutes trying to accept a mission, got stuck in a station elevator, and then got murdered by a security guard for loitering — while I was clipping halfway through the floor. Apparently, that's a capital offense now.

And yes, I tried to roleplay. I gave it a shot. I was a space cowboy, a trader, a pirate, a cab driver, and even a janky on-foot archaeologist with a backpack full of bugs and hope. But Odyssey treats us like NPCs with bad pathfinding.

I'm not even mad anymore. I'm just… spiritually concussed.

To those still holding the line, I salute you. You have the patience of saints and the frame rates of potatoes. But I’m taking my Sidewinder, painting it neon pink, setting the self-destruct, and watching it burn from orbit with a warm can of Lavian Brandy.

Fly safe. Or don’t. I don’t care.
I'm out.

Sorry, did somebody mutter off topic?

I love the design, it's soo sexy and bulky, luving it!!! I can't wait to see what the sound team have done with it, like the Type-8 sound, it just make it like flying something industrial.

BTW who will buy it when it hits the store? i for sure will can't wait.

The problem with using AI for something like that is its actually very good at rewording and summarising an idea or statement.

So you can see clearly by the elegance of the wording and how well put together the flow of the story it's telling is that there's no way this was written by a player.
 
You would be so kind as to pass along the contact information of your chemist?
Luckily my university education taught me how to synthesize by myself ;) Although I would not do that because that same education also helped me to understand the side effects of these substances.
But back on topic: It was a joke. A hyperbole as a reaction to some of the fantasies and hopes. I do not even need a Panther Clipper because I don't haul stuff and colonise. Therefore I cannot be disappointed by its specs.
However, I am going to buy one (not sure if I'll use ARX) for the reason that the PC's design is looking fantastic. Utilitarian but without being too bland, gives a feel of sheer size and yes - it is a mythical beast :)

I want one for similar reasons. Not because I'm going to use it much. Mainly just because I have a slot available in my Inara garage page that needs filling up with something new and shiny.

I just think- I have a Cutter with 720t cargo capacity, wouldn't it be nice to carry more for whatever reason. One trip to fill up the carrier full of tritium, regardless of current fuel level sounds lovely.
 
I know, but I just couldn't resist... :LOL:
:)

Isn't it fantastic that FDev designed a ship which is looking so frigging cool that I (and perhaps a few more players) want to buy it even if I do not need it? Their asset designers must do something really well. Let's ask them to make a few more vehicles - hoverbike, laaaarge hauling SRV, cargo drone, tugboat, Moray Starboat etc. :) And push the game designers to create meaningful play loops around those vehicles.

A prototype guardian hybrid ship with blue stuff that glows and sparks at high temperature or when boosting etc.
 
The only reason I’ll buy one for ARX is if I can make a miner that can do a whole Trit tank in one trip.
The only reason I'll buy one for Arx is if I can carry a full 6K team delivery mission of precious commodities or Tritium back to my FC for safekeeping in one trip... 🥳
