Actually, what jump range does a combat Conda have?
A tuned-to-the-hilt? 22-23.

The Chieftan, according to someone else, is 19ly. If we compare that to the Conda, we might be able to see if the Cheiftan could turn out to be a decent explorer too.
I am going to go out on a limb here, but I think it will be a direct competitor for the FDL... Just something in my bones says they are tired of the FDL dominating the medium size combat ship category, and want to change things up a little, especially since more combat focused ships are being built to combat the thargoid threat...
But then again, I could be completely wrong and its a heavier keelback with a class 2 distributor and 8 small hardpoints....
Around 20 LY to 23 LY if I recall. It looks like it'll have a good jump range by default though if it's getting around 20 LY by default without any engineering upgrades.Actually, what jump range does a combat Conda have?

I just got my first Clipper, and I agree, it needs its wings "clipped". I was exiting the mailslot when an Asp came in the opposite side, and next thing I know I'm going backwards! I'm sure you can picture why. Got a trespassing fine for that and lost a ring of shields in the process. I actually like this ship a lot, but Frontier making both it and the T7 just slightly too large for a medium pad for no go reason just seems dumb, especially when there are large pad equivalents to both ships.

If anything, I'm kind of glad this ship is looking like an upgraded Vulture in performance. It's once of my favorite ships to fly so I'll definitely get a Chieftain to play around with at the very least.0
I'll still keep my Python though as I use it as my anti-thargoid ship or as my medium sized armed trader. I'm at the point in the game where I got enough cash that I'm really just collecting ships at the moment.
It has a better armament than the FAS with 2 large, 1 medium and 3 small hardpoints (FAS has 2 Large and 2 medium hardpoints). It also has 3 military slots so it can tank with armor quite well it looks like. If the shields are good then it could essentially be a step above the FAS as well and you could have the choice in using either armor or shields.The fact the Clipper is a large pad ship drives me insane, I'd fly mine much more often and finish engineering it if was medium pad capable. Having said that, I assume the only reason it has a class 7 slot is because it's a large pad ship - for me I'd actually get more use out of it if it had 2 x class 6 slots in place of the class 7 but I know that class 7 slot is a big selling point to a lot of players who use the ship for combat. Who knows, one day they might give us slot-splitting which to be honest, I'd probably take in preference to about 75% of engineering.
I didn't see the stream but this is making it sound pretty much like an Alliance FAS.
Whoa ! That's not a complaint, and I was asking a question. Perhaps you would do me a favor and answer it ?
So no SLF either?
Sure. Sorry. It's a fighting ship. So that about answers it I think? Frontier don't build range potential into fighting ships. Except anaconda.
No malice intended, but the hints frontier gave, suggested it was going to be more fighting related, than anything else. Believe me; I'd have loved another range master with good internals for exploration. But I think quarter four, when exploration is supposedly front-and-center, would be the logical expectation for such a ship.
Given people are trying to turn every new ship into an explorer, it's a fair bet Frontier know we want one. It's just how critical do they think that is? That's probably the more relevant question. Because until it's a focal point, I just don't think we'll see another long-range generalist that makes a good explorer.
Frontier moves in mysterious ways.
Doesn't look very cargo-ey.
yeah, the python has a huge booty. lots of room for junk in dat trunk
