The Clipper: what will it be able to craft?
TL;DRThe Clipper is designed to craft FPS items and small ship items but not vehicles, and the speakers can't give an exact answer because crafting is still in development and what it can craft will probably change.
Obviously we're not the people doing crafting, so I can't give you an exact answer, but it's designed for FPS items and small ship items. Within that world, it's not designed for, I want to make another vehicle; that's clearly not going to fit. It's part of the balance of that ship. Everyone's like, why does it not have a bigger cargo bay? Why doesn't it have a bigger this? It's the jack of all trades, master of none. It has a relatively small cargo grid and a relatively small crafting machine to constrain that.
I feel like there was a pretty good answer to this question in the Q&A that got published alongside it, and that's basically that crafting is still being worked on. We did a segment at CitizenCon Direct on what the very first version of crafting is currently scheduled to look like. It should avail itself of everything in that first version, but then as crafting continues to develop and diversify, the nature of what it can craft will probably change, as the nature of what can be crafted in the game changes. So it's not really an answer that we can give right now.
