![]() ![]() The Type-7 Transporter may be cheaper and can haul more cargo than the Imperial Clipper, but is not nearly as viable as an armed trader that can confront attackers as well as evade them if necessary. Nonetheless, the ship is capable of carrying 248T of cargo, which is impressive given its price point and multipurpose capabilities. Its speed and manoeuvrability fall off more heavily when laden compared to other ships, meaning it loses that advantage when trading. The Imperial Clipper is also one of the widest ships on the market, which can make manual docking complicated for less experienced pilots. Compared to the similarly-priced Alliance Chieftain, the Clipper has superior shield strength and cargo capacity, but less overall firepower and weaker armour. Combined with very weak shields for its size and wing-mounted hardpoints ill-suited for fixed weapons, the ship is difficult to recommend for combat even with a specialized build. ![]() Its only drawback, and likely the reason for its low overall agility rating, is its poor lateral thruster strength. ![]() Additionally, its pitch rotation and yaw speed are higher than most ships, making it feel like a very hefty, weighted-down Eagle MkII with a Boost Speed that is similar to that of the Cobra MkIII. Pilots of any profession may appreciate the Imperial Clipper's high potential speed with fully upgraded Thrusters, it is comparable to that of smaller ships such as the Cobra MkIII and the Imperial Eagle. The Imperial Clipper is quite popular among pirates and is considered to be the less expensive, smaller brother of the Imperial Cutter, but its strengths lie in the adaptability of its design rather than its combat performance. Due to its balance of speed, luxury, and strength, it is used for transporting valuable items and personnel of importance across the Empire. It is the quintessential Imperial ship that epitomizes elegance of form while delivering speed and agility, and purchasing it requires achieving an Imperial Navy rank of Baron. The Imperial Clipper is a ship manufactured by Gutamaya for the Empire. Impressive straight-line speed rounds out the ship's profile, and makes it one of the most distinguished members of the Gutamaya family. A generous quantity of internal compartments has made it very popular with miners, while a sizeable cargo hold and robust defences have endeared the vessel to traders. also having more than 1 ship helps.The very definition of a multipurpose ship, the Imperial Clipper is a versatile vessel well suited to a variety of roles. But this does not mean tomorrow after price tick the max price station won't have only demand of <800. The max price station has a demand of 2,083 today 5 October 2020 so you can mine in a cutter with 512 cargo racks and not pay any bulk sales tax. in which case you skip mining for the day or use a small ship as 25% starts at 25 tons. Those who don't look before they mine get hit buy bulk sales tax as the demand at high sale station could start at 100. between 8 demand adjust the ships to what ever 25% is of the demand or sell to FC for 715K using cutter. over 2048 you mine in a cutter because yep you guessed it the normal 512 build of the cutter is under 25% for the day. just under under 800 and you dont have a FC you use a Python because 192 goes into 800 more than x4 times so its under 25%. NO FC then you have to adjust the ship you use PER day to match the demand for the HIGH sale station. If your selling to FC just use the cutter.įC owners use cutters and store Items on there FC then adjust the "sale cargo transport" ships to the current demand, 25% of station demand is required to not get hit by bulk sales tax. So thinking to get back into Cutter - am I missing something? So I thought - that sounds cool, so I sold my mining Cutter and went for mining Clipper - now that I just sold 192t of painting for 715k I started wondering - what is the benefit of the Clipper for mining and honestly speaking - found none - yes it's faster and handling better, but - it's not like I need it, so with Clipper I basically lost cargo hold, and gained pretty much nothing. Reading through topics here I noticed that people were going for medium ships for nimbleness and - drop in, mine fast, cash out type of play. My Cutter was boasting 520t cargo hold and was doing more or less fine. I started mining with mildly engineered Cutter (have been primarily Cutter driver for a couple years now). So, I am making my money with Painite mining, particularly map assisted version of it. O7 CMDR's, I am about to sell my Imperial Clipper that I built for mining, but wanted to see if I am doing it wrong. ![]()
