The thrusters might look the same but they are not.

Facetious comments seem to be the norm for these forums nowadays. Bye.
I’ll get your coat.
For this thread? Too late. Already got it.
I was being a little sarcastic... the thread has run for more than 30 pages but was slowing down... so i thought I'd better checck ;-)
I never expected it to rival the AspX, but it will certainly be a good explorer ship. I find 40ly easily good enough for me in my Krait mk2.
Because they have said they ever will?

affter 4 years the panther clipper is still a myth... i wonder why
Yep. There's a good reason why the Panther Clipper is brought up very often by the community. I still think its super odd we haven't heard any news about it in so many years.
Heh, that is the difference between our two exploring-styles. My estimates will always be a big chunk lower than yours.
Because the T9 is pretty much as big as it gets with current mechanics. So the Panther is either underwhelming, or requires additional mechanics.
Because bigger is not always better
Pity the Krait Phantom didn't get 2 small hardpoints to make up for the large one it lost from the Krait MkII. Which would've made it the perfect mining ship, 2S and 2M for all the mining equipment and still have 2L for self defense. Would've been a bit of a Mary Sue ship, being able to combine the firepower of a Vulture with all the mining and exploration tools on a medium pad. The 'hero' ship is still the Krait MkII IMO.
Personally, if it's so big, I'd be cool with planetary landings only. They could do that now if they tried, or cared. It would open up a re-supply mechanic from on-planet to station or system, just as a quick example.
I am sure Fdev had said that due to its size it would require external refueling, so new station mechanics would be need to be designed. Then there is also station cargo movement to be considered.
This may also affect the incoming carriers so might see the Panther with that update ?
All that you say is true enough. My point is, they could have added it sooner with too much trouble. Re-supply/logistics/game-play details could be worked out later. Keep them planet bound temporarily if they must. Shuttling or re-fuelling could come later.
I hope there is at least one more new ship to be revealed, a Guardian/Human hybrid ship from the g.tech broker. I haz lots of Guardian materials ready just in case.
