The Panther Clipper Mk II is the first large SCO-optimized ship in [[Elite Dangerous]], as well as the first ship that can be fitted with the [[Mk II Cargo Rack]] module. It has a maximum cargo capacity of 1238 tons,<ref name=":0">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbUEUB3iVpI Clipper Capacity Clarified (Elite Dangerous)] - YouTube - Galnet News Digest - 27 June 2025</ref><ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/panther-clipper-mk-ii-highlights Panther Clipper MK II Highlights] - Elite Dangerous - 27 June 2025</ref> giving it the same capacity as a fully-laden [[Type-8 Transporter|Type-8]] and [[Imperial Cutter]] combined.<ref name=":0" />

The two large hardpoints are centrally mounted on the ship's underside, behind and in front of the fighter bay, with a small hardpoint on each side of the rear large mount. On the dorsal side, the hardpoints are mostly positioned toward the aft of the ship surrounding the grey cargo modules, with two medium mounts in the back and two small mounts in the front, and the remaining two medium hardpoints are located on the slightly-laterally-slanted parts between the fore and aft engine nacelles. The ship's low maneuverability makes turreted weapons the obvious choice for commanders who wish to carry more active defenses.
