Line 38:
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; it is second only to Cobra Mk.III with fully upgraded [[Thrusters]]. Additionally, its pitch rotation speed is higher than most ships, making it feel like a very hefty, weighted-down [[Eagle]] with a boost speed that almost reaches that of the [[Cobra]]. Its only maneuveringmanoeuvring drawback, and likely the reason for its low overall agility rating, is its poor yaw 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 [[combat]] ship even if the shields are upgraded to maximum.
 
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.
