Development
The concept art for this ship was shown during the monthly Frontier Unlocked on 30 April 2025. The ship specs and the 22 July 2025 early access for ARX release date was confirmed during the Frontier Unlocked livestream on 25 June 2025.[1]
Elite II
The Panther Clipper Mk II's predecessor, 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.
