Panther Clipper LX
Template:Quote The Panther Clipper, also known as the Panther Clipper LX, is a ship assumed to be manufactured by Zorgon Peterson. It has been described as a "heavy cargo clipper" and the Type-9 Heavy's "big brother".[1]
Trivia
- 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.
- The Panther Clipper was announced as planned content for ED: Horizons, but was never implemented despite appearing in Horizons concept art. Mentions of the Panther have been datamined from the game for years, and were most recently seen in the files of the ED: Odyssey alpha.[2]
