Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

Yes I know the clippers shields are made out of paper mache (or raditz) but I love this thing. Its gorgeous. Fast as fucc boi. And maneuverable. I need ideas. Currently I have 2 3C Multi-Cannons in the large slots. And 2 2D Beams in the mediums. It does solid dps as it is but I feel it could be better.

Hi mtflorea,

I haven't done much combat in a Clipper but must admit when I had mine (that is until I got my Cutter), the only combat experience with it was in fact an experiment with all and only frag cannons.... was a blast, litterally...
But never really went any further with this, my main current combat ships being the Vette, Conda and recently Krait MkII.

The Clipper is certainly usable for combat.... I'll have to look up my setup when I'm back from an exploration stint.

But I think I have quite a similar setup to yours, mtflorea. I have engineered the guns a bit though, I probably have military alloys and prismatic shields on it as well
I'll get back to you, once I get back to the bubble.... but what I can say from experience so far, the Clipper is gorgeously maneuverable ^^ I have engineered thrusters, but not the dirty ones. But she is FAST. And she TURNS fast, especially for a big ship. Thats your main combat ability right there. Slap on an engineered shield booster and a shield bank and you're good to go
She definitely needs engineering though. Without, she sounds beautiful, she looks beautiful, she is rather fast.... but not designed to do anything specific. You need to engineer her the way you want her.

Beautiful stuff

I found this build on reddit https://eddp.co/u/9wxJAkvj last year so I rebuilt my Clipper does well in RES PVE, bit more work in conflict zones but edge fighting sometimes a swarm forums quickly time to leave dodge or just boost away.
