With around 28Ly of jump range potential, the Imperial Clipper is an average vessel for [[Explorer|exploration]]. It is more than capable of doing the job and is a good choice for jobs that require travelling long distances, but ships like the [[Asp Explorer]] easily outclass it in this role and cost substantially less.
 
[[File:Convergence iclipper.png|thumb|250px|Imperial Clipper hardpoint convergence]]
The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: one Class 3 large hardpoint on the top of eacheither wing-tip nacelle (total of two Class 3 mounts), and one Class 2 medium hardpoint on the underside of eacheither wing where the wing attaches to the main fuselage (total of two class 2 mounts). The wing-tip mounts are very far from centerline and will have trouble converging their fields of fire unless used with gimballed 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 wing-tip mounts. Due to this, fixed weapons generally are not easy to use with this ship. However, if two fixed weapons are placed on the same side of the ship, it is possible to use fixed mount weapons.
 
The pilot's seat is offset to the right of the centerline of the ship while the copilot's seat is offset to the left of the centerline. Although the ship is compatible with [[Multicrew]], it cannot equip a [[Fighter Hangar]].
