It might just fit, as the Anaconda has some maneuvering space up and down. But you should never try to fit with the landing gear extended.
Its width might be small enough to fit two of them through the slot at once, as there is plenty of room next to two Anacondas. A Panther Clipper and a T9 might jam the slot, though.

Yea after looking at condas sitting on landing pads its pretty clear that the pad still has a lot of room left for larger ships. I look forward to owning the panther though.

I think the design looks great so far.
Should have to pass a flying test before buying it first though, something to the effect of having to pilot, and land it in a station without flight assist.
Just for grins.

Never saw the draw in one other than building a tank, simply wasn't my thing. You gotta admit though the big registration number emblazoned all over its big butt was cheesy as hell.

I traded my way up to a Panther Clipper in Frontier and then saw the light, all I was doing was moving stuff from one place to another with no interest in the profit as the money just raked itself in. Sold it and bought a Cobra mkIII with a military drive to do naughty and dangerous thing in.

This thread triggered a little nostalgia so decided to dig out my copy of FE II (Atari ST version). Found an St emu (steem) a floppy imager for the save disc, and fingers crossed I hoped to be able to see were I was 22 years ago.

Success, I managed to get this, still cannot remember much about how I played back then, I did not even recall being an empire Lord (I am a Fed in ED).

I also would love to see the Panther again, no doubt it would not be as indistructable as above, I can just about recall my favorite ways of killing myself were drilling through stations and ruing not saving for several hours.

Thanks for the reminder.

I loved my Panther, but to be fair it was a teensy bit imbalanced in certain situations. I recall attacking Earth with my fully beefed up Panther. I could take on the entire Sol defense force without being even slightly taxed. This was of course, partly due to the fact the defense force at Sol was awful and seemed to consist only of Vipers.

Yes, ever since I switched from T9 to Anaconda I long to be in a real freighter again. The Anaconda being the best trading ship in the game is just awful. Even in trading config it's defensive capabilites are immense and it handles like a racecar.

That screenshot brings a load of memories flooding back. I want to be able to put cabins in my ship and play intergalactic crazy taxi now.

My favourite was riling up the defence forces in a station and then parking just outside the slot. Didn't need any lasers for the police genocide as wave after wave of Vipers launched straight into my hull without leaving a dent. It got old fairly quickly, but still amusing the first few times :)

I agree about the glass, but that doesn't mean its a "cockpit" it maybe a proper "bridge" and hence not say all that much about the scale of the ship.
