I'm pretty sure the clipper is a few edits away from the New Command Module they made for the Caterpillar and Ironclad. That ship is so fun to fly...

*applies duct tape to seat for a 3rd time* still comfyI will see if I can rent a Nox, and see if I can get it inside. I have a Pulse, which I am guessing will fit easily (not sure if it will take up all the cargo grid).

I see that, and I expect to see Jawas coming out to sell droids.They just needs bounty hunting variant with an cargo grid for stasis pods, and you’ll have the Mando Razor Crest.

I thought the SC equal to the Razorcrest was the Cutlass Blue. The Razorcrest has a bounty pod rack.They just needs bounty hunting variant with an cargo grid for stasis pods, and you’ll have the Mando Razor Crest.

The Clipper has cargo plates. And indeed, you can fit a Dragonfly, or two Hoverquads in the cargo bay. The grid is 3x2x2, so holds 12 SCU with a walkway next to the grid. I think the pods are scheduled to be 2x2x2, which as shown in the vid below, would be fine on the grid but is too large for the ramp.
My question about the Nox is because of its length, and wanting to save a couple grav plates for standard storage. I want to know if leaving the Nox half on and half off the plates will both keep it secure and allow easy access around it. I think 2, 2 SCU boxes and a Nox will all fit with plenty of room to easily access them all and move around the room. I think. Still needs testing.
I really like the 1SCU box he put in the center of the med bay. Makes a nice table. Might try that in the crafting room as well.

He notes a couple Nox will fit, and that the Nox is the fastest of the ground vehicles, but he didn’t note it has two S1 weapons ports, which makes it a serious threat, and that it has an extremely low signature—much lower that the X1.
Against infantry two Dominance laser scatterguns is a formidable loadout, especially considering the range. Against ships the range is terrible but on the ground each of the 16 pellets outclasses sniper rifles. If you recall the cave crab monster art from a few years back you know why a Nox is worth mastering.

I just watched that vid, and glad he got the NOX in. I haven't been able to get online to see what I could fit.
I am just trying to figure out how to restock the med bed?!

Pick many pockets or run a few missions without dying to acquire 100k auec. Got to any Clinic or Hospital and buy a box of Medgel and take it back to Clipper. Facing the medbed, look left to see to rectangular slots in the console. The medbed comes stocked initially, so if you haven't healed or rezzed these won't accept a fresh tub. If you've healed or died a couple of times you can slot in the refill.
Since this is a Drake implementation, check with your insurance agent to ensure your secondary spawn point is indeed where you want it, and pray to not become a statistic in the Regen Crisis.

Awesome! Thanks, I haven't used a med bed before so was looking round like moron
Being Drake, I would have thought you would regen with duct tape and zip ties holding you together!!!
I watched the video too.
So motorbikes fit like in most ships with 6+ SCU.
Big deal.
The real surprise here is that you can spawn the Clipper on the vehicle platform of an outpost like you would with a S1 ship!
Because for whatever unimagible reason this 3 story high ride IS registered as a S1 ship. (First time I checked i'd swear it was S2.)
THAT is some exciting news. If you don't mind to ride your bike from the crashsite to the next station you're right back in the saddle.
THAT is utility!
(And surely getting removed once CIG notices.)

I wonder whether the ability to spawn on those vehicle platforms is based on whether the footprint of the landing gear/wheels/tracks of a ship is smaller than the pad size, rather than ship's designated size/class? The Clipper's landing gear does fit into a very small area for the size of the ship, while the hull appears to overhang the edges of the pad.

This is why I keep hoping the Liberator will fit 3 Eclipse. The pads will certainly fit them with landing gear down and wings up.
