I found this, makes reference to the Corvette Class Imperial Cutter...
If thats so then the cutter is damn sexy! I wonder how its armament will be
My impression from everything I've seen is there's a planned progression in each of 5 ship focuses, with sizes ranging from the small faction fighters to ships that can barely fit through the standard spaceport entrance. I suspect the Faction reward cutters may be in this largest class:
Code:
Jack O'Trades Combat Freight Passenger NPC
Max Fed Cutter Panther Beluga
Imp Cutter
Large Anaconda Type 9 Orca
Heavy Type 7 Dolphin
Medium Asp Explorer Imp Courier Type 6 Viper
Cobra
Light Sidewinder Eagle Hauler Fed Fighter
Krait? Adder? Imp Fighter
The Imperial Cutter concept is SWEET!
Why is the Viper in NPC?
I don't think the OP was talking about capital ships. I do share his wish for something Anaconda/Corvette sized specifically focused for combat, even if size isn't always an advantage in dogfight, there's something about big combat ships that thrills me, it's like riding a t-rex 
I get the Imperial Cutter would fill this role, that would be great.

What is the difference?
As far as I understood it "executive control" simply means you dont get to actually own it, as it will be given to you to fly by a faction that does, within the context and duration of specific missions.
In this sense "command" would indeed mean "fly".
no?
EDIT: Just saw your subsequent post, yes, you mean not actually driving the helm or piloting, ok.

Damn that Orca is a fine looking craft. I will definitely have one of those

Rather doubt it will be the cutter as it makes no sense to give mercenaries access to your frontline combat ships. I rather expect the cutter to be a fast patrol ship with armaments in the range of an anaconda but not much better but with a superior drive assembly and looks that do not make me wretch ( sorry but the anaconda to me looks like a speedboat in space ).
Hi all,
This seemed a good place to ask, are there any internal plans/layouts of Corvettes, Gunships, in-fact any ships. I would be most interested if anyone can link pics/plans etc.
Thanks.

its all early work at the moment, the idea of larger ships being player controlled has just recently come to light. so we are all chomping at the bit for info.
While the Dev have stated that ships internals have been mapped out, we have been given very little info on them. What we have been given...
Thanks for the reply's.
Really like those layout/plan images, gives a little insight. Would like to get the layout of the ship I'm flying up on my smaller screen whilst in-game.
Nice for a little more immersion.

I would not expect too much work to be done on ship interiors until after this years release and work on that specific expansion is underway.
