Why I need a Clipper

[Marklar_]

Appreciate the builds and responses from everyone. I've always looked at it and wondered what it does that another ship doesn't?

The answer is: it's in Drew Wagar's book and Salome has one. So I needs one! Seems to me a lightweight /big landing pad trader is a role which might work for me. Or mission runner, could do that. Or spot of mining....

Honestly, the way the books describe Clippers the Cutter is a better fit in the context of the game.

Seconding this Clipper build. I ran into some gankers and griefers in my PS4 open for the first time and decided I’m gonna have to prepare for the possibility that not all CMDR’s are as moral and just as I imagine Aisling’s are, or something like that.

4 frag cannons and a barely engineered 7C bi-weave shield turned mine into a longhorn ram that spits bullets. The high speed and mobility was getting me in and out of sticky wickets with FDS’ and FGs’ in the first run-through in Res’

Anyway, here’s some video of the Clipper in a lowres.

You’re not gonna wanna take the thing out into a combat zone on your own and just start blasting away but if you’re winged up with some small tanks or a Python that can take up some attention while you’re zipping around setting up for the bullet-ramming you might be all set

You want to bully NPCs or steal someones trousers from under them the Clipper is the ship.

For the record, this is not as effective in an Eagle, even if the Eagle is armed with a single rail-gun
