The Panther Clipper was announced as planned content for ''[[Elite Dangerous: Horizons|ED: Horizons]]'', but was never implemented despite appearing in ''Horizons'' concept art. Mentions of the Panther have been datamined from the game for years, and were most recently seen in the files of the ''[[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|ED: Odyssey]]'' alpha.<ref name="Odyssey alpha" /> | |||
== Elite II == | |||
The Panther Clipper first appeared in ''[[Frontier: Elite II]]''. It was the largest ship in the game, being extremely slow as a consequence, and was described as capable of buying entire planets out of their cargo. Due to its immense size, it was capable of being equipped with planetary bombardment-class weaponry and powerful shields that shrugged off attacks from small pirate craft. | |||
