== Performance Information ==
This vessel is very good for players who want to explore and make credits carrying individuals between systems, as well as taking on some light cargo shipping on the side. However, its tiny weapon capacity and lack of gun ports means that the player will be virtually unable to mine asteroids or enter combat. Furthermore, it has no built-in Luxury Accommodations, as opposed to the Arrow or Blackbird, meaning that players won't be able to ferry rich clientele without some customization. Also, its lack of combat ability makes the Clipper a tempting vessel for only a little more money. However, the Bounder has the virtue of a lower shipyard price, making it useful for early game players who wish to trade up from a Shuttle or Heavy Shuttle and amass a nest egg before paying mortgages or crew salaries with a Clipper or a Blackbird.
