{{quote|The Imperial Clipper is the quintessential Imperial ship. It epitomises elegance of form while delivering speed and agility. Because of its balance of Speed, Luxury and strength it is used for transporting valuable items and personnel of importance across the Empire.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Imperial Clipper''', built by [[Gutamaya]], is one of the [[Empire]]'s [[ships]] and thus are generally sold at [[Station]]s that are aligned with the Empire. To purchase the Imperial Clipper players must have earned the rank of Baron with the Imperial Navy.<ref group="nb">[[GalNet]] announced [https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55a4dc5d9657ba6d253de737 14 Jul 3301] that all independent pilots with an active Imperial Navy rank could now purchase the Clipper.</ref>

This ship is quite popular with [[pirate]]s, [[trader]]s, and some combat pilots. It is a reasonable pirate ship due to the large cargo capacity and heavy armament. Traders may find this ship appealing due to its superb cargo capacity and defensive capability; while it is more expensive than the [[Lakon Type-7]] it can easily defend itself against a pirate.

Pilots of any [[profession]] may appreciate its speed; with fully upgraded [[Thrusters]], it is comparable to that of smaller ships such as the [[Cobra MkIII]] and the [[Imperial Eagle]]. Additionally, its pitch rotation and yaw speed are higher than most ships, making it feel like a very hefty, weighted-down [[Eagle]] with a boost speed that is higher than that of the [[Viper MkIII|Viper]]. Its only manoeuvering drawback, and likely the reason for its low overall agility rating, is its poor lateral thruster capability; the vertical-lateral thrusters are very weak compared to those of other ships. This weakness, combined with very weak [[shield]]s for its size and wing-mounted [[hardpoint]]s ill-suited for fixed weapons, limits the Imperial Clipper's efficiency as a PvP [[combat]] ship even if the shields are upgraded to maximum. The Imperial Clipper is also currently the second widest ship controllable by players, which may pose a challenge with docking.

Speed and manoeuvrability fall off more heavily when heavily loaded than other ships, bringing it back into more normal speeds and turn rates when hauling cargo.

Both the ships interior and exterior are luxurious in design, the engines sport a radically different sound than other ships, and the large cockpit canopy features an unobstructed view of space.

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: One Class 3 large hardpoint on the top of each wingtip nacelle (total of two class 3 mounts), and One Class 2 medium hardpoint on the underside of each wing where the wing attaches to the main fuselage (total of two class 2 mounts). The wingtip mounts are very far from centerline and will have trouble converging their fields of fire unless used with gimbaled or turret mounted weapons. The underside mounts although closer together, also suffer the same field of fire convergence issues although to a lesser degree than the wingtip mounts.

The pilot's station is offset to the right of the centerline of the ship. The auxiliary station is even with the pilot's station and is offset to the left of the centerline of the ship.

The '''Orca''' is currently one of three known passenger ships, the others being the [[Dolphin]] and the [[Beluga Liner]]. In the current game {{CurrentVersion}} there is not much difference between a passenger ship and other ships except for the sleek and fashionable design, long windows, and luxurious interior.

* Initially decals could not be fitted. Now they can and even some basic paint jobs are available (Vibrant pack)
* The Orca is the only ship in game that cannot fit a optimal sized shield. It requires a size 6 for optimal, but can only take a size 5 in one of the size 5 slots.
* The Orca sells for a 20% discount at Irkutsk in the Alioth system. (As Alioth is the political center of the Alliance, a system permit is required. Places to get such a permit include Rominger Dock in the 78 Ursae Majoris system. Look for the "Making Friends And Going Places" job on the Bulletin Board.)

{{quote|The Federal Dropship is the Federation Navy's workhorse ship for tactical and special forces deployments. This is a well armoured and well armed ship capable of carrying large loads. Its versatile nature means that it is well suited to tackling even the most hostile environment.|In-Game Description}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is one of the [[Federation]]'s ships and thus are generally sold at [[Station]]s that are aligned with the Federation (but has been seen at an independent [[shipyard]]). To purchase the {{PAGENAME}} players must have earned the rank of [[Federation/Ranks|Ensign]] with the Federation's Navy. Currently this ship isn't very appealing - due to its low mobility it is dominated in combat by most other [[ships]], cargo capacity is much lower than that of less expensive ships. However, the {{PAGENAME}} does fill a great role in group player versus player engagements due to its excellent hardpoint size and placement.

Bounty Hunter

Any player can collect a bounty by killing a wanted player or NPC. The ship scanner can determine if the selected target is "Clean" or if there is a warrant for their destruction. Bounties outside of the current jurisdiction are not shown by the ship scanner so it is recommended that bounty hunters equip a [[Kill Warrant Scanner]] to scan for those extra bounties (bind it to a fire group, aim at the target and "shoot" until the scan is finished).

Bounty hunters will often loiter outside [[stations]] in order to scan other ships when they slow down to enter the docking area, but many bounty hunters are most active at RES (Resource Extraction Sites) or Nav Beacons since many wanted ships will appear at both locations. Most NPC ships will pass through the Nav Beacons making them excellent areas for both NPC and player bounty hunters. The Resource Extraction Sites can be mixed in their populations. Isolated clusters of asteroids rarely contain any activity at all whereas the planetary rings of busy planets are rife with pirates looking to prey on miners. This makes planetary rings advisable for any prospective bounty hunters.

A major problem for bounty hunters is accidentally shooting the regional security services. Stray multicannon shots, turreted weapons and occasional AI stupidity tend to be the causes of this problem. In this instance the player will gain thier own bounty and would need to go to a station in a system where their bounty does not apply. Note also that any bounty collected while wanted yourself can't be cashed in at a station, atleast not in the currrent state of the game.

To claim a bounty a player only needs to find a target with an active bounty on them and then destroy (make sure to get the last hit) their ship. Claims can be redeemed in the Local Security Offices section of the Contacts menu at any station in a system where the target was wanted. It is important to note that if you fire before the target is designated as 'wanted' then you will gain your own bounty.

As of 1.03 bounty hunting now gains a reputation gain with the faction you hunt in. Both stations and traders (including their fighter escorts) will appear as green blips on your radar and will assist you if attacked. In the case of traders, they only appear as green when encountering them for the second time, the first time they appear as any other random, non-aligned NPC.

==Bounty Vouchers==
[[File:BountyVoucherMenu1.jpg|thumb|300px|Cashing in bounty vouchers]]

Bounty vouchers are issued when a commander destroys a ship that had a [[bounty]] on it, the commander is then awarded a bounty voucher. These vouchers must be cashed in at an appropriate contact to receive the reward.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=8648&p=192910#post192910 Design Discussion: Vouchers]</ref>

Kills and associated bounty vouchers are recorded in the ship's log, so if your ship is destroyed before you get back to a station contact to present them for payment, then the vouchers will be lost along with the ship and you will not be able to cash them in. An exception to this is if the bounty voucher was awarded in the presence of a system authority vessel in which case they "radio" the kill confirmation back to their home station.

== Bounty Value ==
Bounty value on NPC ships is somewhat random, but seems to scale proportionately both with class of ship and with skill of the pilot. An Elite Sidewinder might be worth more than a harmless ASP, even though the effort required to take down the latter may be greater than the effort for the former. Commonly seen ships and their bounties are below (bounties taken with Kill Warrant Scanner in an anarchy system - local system bounties may add to overall value):
* Sidewinder: 300 - 5,000 Cr
* Eagle: 1,000 - 9,000 Cr
* Cobra Mk. III: 5,000 - 25,000 Cr
* Viper Mk. III: 10,000 - 30,000 Cr
* Hauler/Adder: 1,500 - 10,000 Cr
* Lakon Type-6/7: 3,000 - 20,000 Cr
* Miscellaneous Super-Heavies (Imperial Clipper, Federal Dropship, Python): ~20,000 - 30,000 Cr
* Anaconda: 60,000+ Cr
These figures are highly subject to change on an individual basis and are just a vague guide.

Most stations will display the 5 most wanted players in the system along with where they were last active and their bounty. Hunting other players can bring in bounty vouchers worth millions provided they do not Alt+F4 before you get the kill.
==Things to remember about bounty hunters==
* The bounty hunter's favourite ship is the [[Viper Mk III]]; fast enough to catch up with you and fast enough to escape should things not go according to plan. Usually outfitted with [[Railgun|railguns]] or [[Cannon|cannons]] for a quick and decisive outcome.
* Bounty hunters are not predominantly [[Pirates|pirates]], but may take on that role as opportunities arise. Any [[Stolen Goods|stolen goods]] gained while bounty hunting is always an added bonus.
* Bounty hunters are NOT [[Griefers|griefers]]!
