Is powercreep from engineers totally out of control or was that a cheater?

All we can do is guess what attacked your Cutter. Maybe foul play maybe not. Its all speculation at this point.
If you're dog fighting in PVP , moving around, using chaff etc, i would question how fast you where destroyed, but if you are running trying to escape and the opponent can keep pace it seems plausible that the right combination of weapons could focus you down that quickly as they can keep a target lock on you.
I don't engage in PVP that much so my knowledge is limited to one side. normally the side that loses. and my experience is combat with a player is pretty quick when your ship is not loaded to to face such an opponent.

That's why I'm not calling shenanigans (especially since I was like 1.5 year away, maybe I missed some guardian superweapons, but those seem all anti-guardian oriented), but asking if people can think of any combination of mods that can do away with a cutter as quick as I was done with. Whether you are facing someone or not, has no impact as we do not have directional shields ala STO or old tie fighter games

Was not meaning "facing" as in shield facing, i mean moving and using combat skills to avoid being hit. Running you move in a straight line which is easyer to hit then someone boosting circles around you and dropping chaff. You are correct guardian weapons do very little to human ships compared to standard human weapons.
Could hit up the pvp section and ask if someone with a pvp ship is willing to test your cutter's sustainability against one of their ships. Might be suprised how quickly they can drop your shields. They also may be able to confirm or deny what you experienced as something that can happen.

1500 hull is absolutely nothing, but let me ask you was the combat close? i.e. fought at very short range? If so sounds like you got a ram that wasn't registered (sometimes known as a shadow ram). But, yeh, 1500 hull with no resistances, I could take 40% off per pass with 2 of my ships.

Yes. They do.

Left trigger = left Rail.
Right trigger = right Rail.

Pull left trigger, then pull right trigger a fraction of a second later. Hold both triggers for charge. When the charges release the shots, they are released left then right - a fraction of a second apart. Two taps - one for your failing shield, one for you.

So still a single salvo from two railguns, no idea what you mean by: It could have been two, three, or four attacks in the span of a second or two.
They would still be limited by 2 large, 2 medium, can you take out 60% of a cutter hull with that?

Is any of those ships with 2 large/2 medium setup? Can you show us then how you rip through g5 shield and 60% of cutter hull in one pass?

Ok, so "no" on the engineering.

That drops to around 1290 against kinetics.
The Cutter is also an enormous target.

If your shields were also un-engineered that would also be a weakness.

It's not a clear cheat from what I'm getting.

Shields were 2477 8c biweave g5ed

G5 what?
You are leaving out a lot of pertinent information, in some cases information that was specifically asked for.

It was a 8c Bi-Weave G5ed to 2477 value in outfitting (reinforced shields g5, am I missing anything at this point???), leaving what information???

PvP guys do not browse dangerous discussion? I was expecting at least half of the people here to also do pvp

We do indeed.
But speaking for myself you seem evasive, and without video I don't tend to put much stake in peoples' recollection of timelines, in general.

And even here, you still don't say what mod it is.
Thermal resistance?
Reinforced?
Enhanced lo-power?
