From CMDR Burr's video. The only thing that mildly surprises me is only 6 utility mounts, but that's by no means a dealbreaker.
6 utility mounts seems fine to me as what isn’t a dedicated combat ship. I’d probably put in 5 shield boosters and - if the long-distance SCO performance requires it - a heatsink.
Having watched that video just now, the boost sound is… something. At least I probably won’t mind it, while not being sure what to make of it right now. Can’t say I’m excited about the ship either, but it sounds a good enough sanity preservation measure from the T9 (I do just hate that thing with a passion… yes, “Get a Cutter”, but my alt is not going to have one of those).
4 of my accounts have rank for the Cutter. Rank earned mostly by bribery and running missions out from mostly Imperial faction systems. Probably averaged a year on each to get there. I wasn't in any hurry...
... it's on a roleplay basis more than any unwillingness for me to do the rank work on said second account, I should add. No work for or toward the superpower allegiances.
My main account - this one - can wait for the PC2 credit release. (Does anyone ever confuse that for Planet Coaster 2?)
Indeed, I understand that - mine is the same, all criminal scum, of course, so not having the best in class for theft and murder would be very out-of-character.
I agree there also, we betray everyone equally, and would never be limited by becoming a lackey of any of the powers either!
I'm waiting too, out of principle, but also out of the feeling of "meh". This is a ship that has been overdue for so many years and now just feels late to the party as everyone is already preparing to go home or has already left. Also the shipkit we've been shown so far has to be the most terrible one of all the ones for the new ships. What's on offer for the T8 isn't much better, but still better. I guess it being late at least has the bonus that it's SCO optimized, which it wouldn't have been if released as the finishing roundup of the old batch of ships as it should have been.

One thing with the PC Mk2 I'm a bit disappointed with is the 10 hardpoints...it's too many. 2 large, 2 mediums would have done...or 0. 10 is just silly.
NPC pirates are not worth my time to engage...both time wise and credit reward wise.
4? I barely have time for 1...and I have lots of time.

I was very active for about 5 years and had 2 each in Colonia and the bubble...
Not very active recently, so 2 FCs decommissioned and the characters having a holiday
All the tubers say it handles well so I'm stoked. But I will be out of town for the next two weeks weeks so it won't be a day one purchase, but soon as I get back.
I think it ticks all the boxes for me.

It needed to be distinct movement-wise from the Cutter, so it’s good that they’ve achieved that. We’ll have to see how much the mass of cargo slows it down/changes its characteristics. 1238 tons is a lot of mass.
I'd have used it when I was colonising, but would struggle to find a use for it now.
for me it will be a sole cargo hauler (full capacity, no shields) from orbital station-FC-construction site.
Maybe I alternatively will try-out a shield/hull-tank config with turrets for hasrez later....

I never thought I would be saying this but.... why is it so small?
It's not small, but it should've been the biggest ship possible imo. It could've been 60 meters longer.
Exactly. I was expecting a titanic ship that filled the entire pad and took proper skill to even get out the mail slot.
