Vote for Imperial Cutter 8 Class Power Distributor
- Thread starter InDigital
- Start date
I'd be really happy to see FDev do something akin to (almost) what they did the FdL ... they put up some RP blurb on how ZP were going to retrofit the FdL
What i'd love to see with the Cutter is a second 'C' spec (c for combat) model .... happily drop the twin class 8 internals and just put a single class 7 in-place of them, but buff the turn rate and (maybe) tweak the distribution and maybe even drop the FSD down a class to make it in-line (more or less by weight balancing) with the corvette
Ditching the class 8's mean it won't have so much shielding, it'll lose 384t of cargo space thus taking it away from the utility of trade but would give us Imperials a ship to love in combat.... more reliant on that turn rate (but at least making it fly akin to an anaconda - at least roughly in the same ball park)
Hell, even make it pricier if you must .... but just take away from the super-trader and give us something that is enjoyable

I want a cloaking device. Just me, no one else.
Cutter dont needs PD 8 class as it would make it too powerfull... it would eat anacondas and corvettes as it would not lose in terms of sustain firepower... it already can outtank them with its size 8 shields and cells..
What it needs is silghty better turn rates and better cooling system. Same like with FDL buff.

"Class 8 shields" are literally meaningless as a balance point. If FD wanted, they could have a ship with such a high shield coefficient that it would outclass all other ships in shield strength with a Class 1 E rated shield.
When they were announced, I expected them to have the same or even better power distributors than the Anaconda due to their descriptions and the Anaconda's historical role as a cargo hauler.
Truth be told, the Anaconda needs a pass and downgrading to the Class 7 power distributor and reduction of it's pitch rate. It's a problem ship from early days that causes design expectations and problems with the Cutter and Corvette. The Cutter has it worse of the two.

As if nobody has ever traded in a Type 6 / 7 / 9 before.
Trading in a shieldless Conda does more for my nerves than a Valium.
Compared to being in any other trading ship ( including a clipper ) with shields.

class 10 shield corvette plz
You sure about that?
As sure as Onyxia deep breathing more.
Got a link?
And the T-7 too.
You simply can't buff something without buffing other stuff or we end up with the FDL. No compromise, can max everything, C4 HP and x6 C0 HPs the only thing that makes it balanced is its 'lower' MLF; still best combat ship in the game IMO
C8 PD for the Cutter, nerf boost speed to 300 m/s at best case or remove one C8 internal slot and give it one more C6.
No buff without a compromise or we have another FDL-story.

Good idea. I wouldn't mind swapping an 8 slot for a 6 in exchange for a bigger power distributor. I think the speed is fine as it is, particularly considering it's sucktacular pitch and generally awful handling.
Life is so much simpler when you only fly Cobra MkIII's
I´d really like wheels on my cobra. A SpaceRV hybrid.
