Because the 'offical' art had ZP on it:
Not to mention, do we need yet another Lakon ship? Too many Lakon vessels makes for a boring, angular game.
Panther Clipper Concept, i love it

I suggest you look up what "retcon" means, then.Because the 'offical' art had ZP on it:

Things can change.
That image is literally concept art.
I have had to say this a few times this week: Do not get attached to concept art designs, as most never make in it into whatever game they are made for.
Not to mention nearly a decade old at this point...
I don't need to you be condescending to know things can change- however I don't want a game dominated by large, almost identikit boxy ships from one manufacturer all the time.
Lakon has its lineup, ZP has its own, with the Hauler, Adder and here the Panther Clipper.

Right now, the Panther Clipper does not exist in ED, at least, not with a manufacturer related to it.
I say this due to some fighter pilots mentioning it...
There is nothing condescending here. Just facts that you personally dislike. That is your problem.
Angles are cool. I wouldn't mind a big boxy absolute unit of a space Evergreen.
The only 'fact' is two pieces of offical art- the one I posted and this one:
Panther Clipper Mk II
Not to be confused with Panther Clipper LX. The Panther Clipper Mk II is an upcoming large freighter ship produced by Zorgon Peterson. It is the first large SCO-optimized ship in Elite Dangerous. The concept art for this ship was shown during the monthly Frontier Unlocked on 30 April 2025. No...

No other facts exist for me to 'dislike'- its all opinion and you being condescending.
The author writes in the reddit thread that
Kids, that's enough fighting, let's all unite in our worship of the Space Big Chungus, whatever form it may take.

Kinda' shot yourself in the foot there dude.
Even your source is not certain about itself.
My thoughts: You're in denial. Sorry, can't help you there.
What I can say is that if the model in the video is indeed real, it's looking far too late in design to be changed significantly. Screams "finalised" with that kind of detail.
The other question is if we really need the PC at all, since if it can carry 2000T its got to fly at comically slow speeds otherwise its just a fatty Cutter- which will inevitably collide with 'butitsagankmagnetwhydoIneedshields'.
I wonder if its time has come and gone, or that its 1250T but midway speed between a T-9 and a Cutter.
No matter how it's implemented, the fan base will howl with outrage. So FDev should implement it the way they think is best.
My biggest fear is if they make it too small and it ends up being a less capable Cutter.
And why was it I put offical in brackets then (like this- 'offical')
If anything the 'offical' leak (if it is- the Scorpion leak came true enough) looks a lot like the first concept I posted.
The Cutter is OP for what it does, so FD are screwed there
Then clearly the best option is to make the PC even more OP.The Cutter is OP for what it does, so FD are screwed there

Time will tell.
Either way I can't say I am all that concerned. I already have my ship. My Krait Mk II.
Which, BTW, ended up looking like nothing what is showing in concept art either.
As long as the Panther Clipper is big and thicc, I'll be happy.
it concept art. kalm down people,and models can change no matter if they are finished. most models come in separated parts.
No. Panther Clipper is srs bsns.
I think more accurate would be to call it fan art.
It's sexy fan art, though.
