The Imperial Cutter - The Pilot

[Rick6549]

I have to stick to ships with center seats or left seats. Cutter and FDL have you sit on the right and I can't handle it. For some reason 1,000 years in the future we don't have the simple option to change our preferred seating.

Shame because Cutter is so glorious.

Just use the beluga ! Center seat, great view, and better than the cutter.

I'll get a Beluga when we get space legs and I can tour all the luxury cabins I install

How did you get my screenshot ?

It's not so good at evading interdictions. Boost speed is a lot less (assuming like engineering)

400ms still isnt slow, if you actually loae the interdiction because of its great handling. and the beluga is chonky, great hull.

My beluga was unengineered, engineered it could probably do 30ish.



And i see you forgot to mention the maeuverability, the view, the fuel tank, combat ability, and exploration ability

And if you compare apples to apples you see the Cutter still beats it in jump range, capacity, combat ability, and exploration ability.

And the Beluga looks like this:

Id put a picture of the cutter here, but it would get deleted.



Also, id like some of what youre smoking.

I think it's looks are average. The front half looks about as inspiring as a 737, and the back half is all fluff and bollox with little purpose.

Also the singularly most boring ship to fly.

I will not disagree there.

Regarding?

Coriolis does a nice job proving the cutter is superior in combat, exploration, capacity, and jump range with cargo/modules.
With the same size fuel tank and no modules or cargo the jump range is 6ly higher for the beluga, but when you start putting modules and cargo in the cutter beats it after a certain amount of mass.

If you leave the max size fuel tank in, the cutter is only behind by about 3 ly range, and passes it even sooner once modules are added.

Edit: The Cutter is not able to do 2 things:
Land on Outposts
And stop in less than 6-7km after boosting

Cutter can't stop on the dime because it causes water in the swimming pool to slosh too much. Besides, If there's something in front of it, it would have to move this way or another. And it is not allowed anywhere near the outposts because if it hits outpost too hard on landing it will knock it out of the orbit.

Swimming Pool?? I have a Jacuzzi in mine - keeps the slaves happy

I took my Cutter all the way around the Galaxy on DECE, and didn't even go slightly mad.
Some hutton mugs and gin kept me going nicely.

As far as maneuverability goes, see my sig...
