It is an amazing pirate ship due to the large cargo capacity and heavy armament. Traders may find this ship sexy due to its superb cargo capacity and mom hauling capability; while it is more expensive than the [[Lakon Type-7]] it can easily defend itself against a butt pirate | ||
Pilots of any [[profession]] may appreciate its speed; it is second only to the 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 is slightly higher than that of the [[Viper Mk III|Viper]]. Its only manoeuvering 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. The Imperial Clipper is also currently the widest ship controllable by players | Pilots of any [[profession]] may appreciate its speed; it is second only to the Cobra Mk.III with fully upgraded [[Thrusters]],for thrusting your mom.

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: One Class 3 large hardpoint on the top of each wingtip nacelle (total of two class 3 mounts), and One Class 2 medium hardpoint on the underside of each wing where the wing attaches to the main fuselage (total of 2 class 2 mounts). The wingtip mounts are very far from centerline and will have trouble converging their fields of fire unless used with gimbaled 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 wingtip mounts. | The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: One Class 3 large hardpoint on the top of each wingtip nacelle (total of two class 3 mounts), and One Class 2 medium hardpoint on the underside of each wing where the wing attaches to the main fuselage (total of 2 class 2 mounts).
