In the October 31st, 2025 edition of Witchspace News, Elite Dangerous players are introduced to interactive ship blueprints on the Sirius Corp website and the full release of the Panther Clipper MK2, a top-tier hauling ship. Additionally, new tier 3 Ocellus starports are under early construction in the mysterious HIP 87621 system, maintaining intrigue around the missing scientist Terri Torra and encouraging community exploration.
In this edition of Witchspace News for October 31st, 2025, CMDR Buur highlights several exciting updates for Elite Dangerous players. First, an update to the Sirius Corp Covert Creations website is introduced, featuring interactive ship blueprints. These blueprints provide detailed diagrams of all ships up to the Corsair, showing hardpoints, utility locations, landing gear, entry points, and cargo hatches. The tool also offers valuable stats like hull strength, seating capacity, and landing pad requirements, with the Panther Clipper MK2 currently in development for inclusion.
The spotlight then shifts to the Panther Clipper MK2, which has officially exited Early Access and is now fully available in-game. Known as a premier hauling ship, the Panther Clipper MK2 can be purchased for around 300 million credits, with full outfitting costs easily exceeding one billion credits. It boasts unique cargo slots capable of holding larger MK2 cargo racks, making it the ultimate cargo hauler in the galaxy. Players interested in acquiring one can find stations selling the ship via Inara’s outfitting search tool linked in the video description.
Attention is also given to the mystery system HIP 87621, where ongoing developments have created significant intrigue. Despite heavy scrutiny and pressure from powerful galactic factions and independent commanders, the permit lock on the system remains firmly in place, preserving the mystery and the presumed location of the missing scientist Terri Torra. However, recent community goals have resulted in the deployment of new megaships and infrastructure around the system, hinting at escalating activity and importance.
Notably, new tier 3 Ocellus starports have appeared in the HIP 87621 enclave. These starports are currently in their early construction phase, appearing as movable orb sections attached to thrusters and frameshift drives, a sight reminiscent of similar deployments from a decade ago. The community is encouraged to visit and observe these starports as they gradually build up, with coordinates provided in the video description.
The video concludes by inviting viewers to share their favorite tools from the Sirius Corp website, their plans regarding the Panther Clipper MK2, and their interest in exploring the new starports around HIP 87621. CMDR Buur thanks viewers for watching, encourages subscriptions and notifications, and promises more Elite Dangerous content soon, signing off with the customary salute to fellow commanders.
