But I think there will be some nice competitors from other manufacturers. All beginner ships are now garbage.

Agreed. This is going to be hugely polpular. Erkul says 4S3 guns, 6 missile launchers, 2S1 shields, a smidge slower and less maneuverable than a Sentinel and with a sneak rating of 3.4. Given a bed, head, med bed and WORKBENCH!!!, I say it wins. ( I have never owned nor lived in a house without a workbench and I grew up in an auto shop. “Workbench” speaks to my heart. I wanna tinker a Lumin into the Games Most Godlike Gun”.)
1.7 Quantum dipping through an S1 Q drive, 12 cargo, 15 hydrogen about half the HP of a Sentinel. All okay.
Ugly as a Transformer. I like it. If it comes in camo I’d say best cave runner in game, despite the very tall wings when parked.

I am loving the look of the Clipper. It is exactly the type of ship I have wanted them to make! Having a small cargo bay, habitation, the med bed, CRAFTING (when it comes in), and a bit of firepower for low tier bounties. I just hope it doesn't fly like the brick it resembles.
Also really like the look of it!

It's FUGLY, and it's Drake so it's made out of crushed beer cans. (Probably supplied by TEST. Is @Reload keeping up with the recycling?). But this is the first ship in game that is a genuine 'Let's go find something to do' daily driver for the normal player. It gives the ability to react to opportunities without needing to fly back to a base somewhere to change out for a specialized ship. (Which the player may not have, not everyone spends thousands in real cash or hours on this game).
The Cutty Red was kind of ok in this role, but the Clipper pretty much makes it obsolete. As to other ships which fit the idea of 'versatile', the Starlancer TAC is ok for small groups if kinda awful to make use of. The Polaris is better and can be run (for now) with the same number of people, with the benefit of giving your hotshot fighter jock a place to park.

VERY much looking forward to seeing this become true.

May have accidentally slipped and upgraded my Cutlass Black to one... Looking forward to testing it out! Oh and the camo paint looks sweet!

Sarcasm.. not sarcasm. The technical debt that is being incurred against existing ships is astounding, even if the features on those older ships don't improve.
So does THIS replace the Aurora?
While the ship seems to be a decent all-rounder, I'm finding it difficult to justify the price-tag.
For $15 less, you can get a Cutlass Red, which contains all the features (except the fabrication bench/area) of the Clipper, while also including a second med-bed (potentially allowing double the number of respawns before needing to have MedGel refilled), easier/quicker ability to navigate through the ship, and the ability to carry some smaller ground vehicles (as well as the option to have a "co-pilot"/gunner).

Yes, well the Red is really not a solo ship.
Chip, post the camo! This ship was born for cave running, where you park off to the side in the trees so no one knows you’re there. It’s taller than the shrubs so would be pretty easy to spot unless it’s in camo. So far as I’m aware, parking out of sight but very close to a treasure cave and then server hopping is still the fastest cash in the game. With 12 SCU storage you could hop for a long time.
I hate to hope but I really want to know what happens to a Nox left on the ramp. It’s just so Darth Maul. The teeny bike with no guns doesn’t interest me. Zooming up on a bunker and laying waste with twin laser shotguns is more highly recommended.
Brictoria, I haven’t seen you in ages. Welcome back!

They just needs bounty hunting variant with an cargo grid for stasis pods, and you’ll have the Mando Razor Crest.

Here is the camo (sorry if the resolution is crap, I had to screenshot it as my phone wouldn't let me save the pic!!! Dumb tech... Yay for Drake!).
I haven't tried getting a bike in it yet, mostly as my sessions keep freezing and then crashing at the mo. Will try after the weekend.
I have had a quick fly around in it, and it is pretty cool. Just need to remember the wing span, as I kept hitting trees when going low in planets. Visibility is good, and I really like the multiple levels.
