The CG has lost a lot of momentum, not a chance to make it to tier 5 at this rate, possibly not even tier 4. Meanwhile here's my Cutter, sitting on the Trobairitz. Once long ago FDEV created a ship paintjob named chrome. Later on they decided to discontinue it and replace it with a crappier one named chromed. Then Odyssey probably unintentionally made the original one absolutely awesome. This is now truly a legacy Cutter, both in color scheme and size 5 shield.
That's a nice shot.
I agree Chromed isn't all that impressive, Galvanised Palladium is about as good and doesn't have any restrictions on when you can buy it.
Chrome can bey hard to take good pictures of especially when it's reflecting the black of space
But when the scene is right...
It's pretty stunning.
That's my laser miner though, this CG I've been using a brand new Cutter
Darkwater's Folly I bought with the Summerland discount and built with the express purpose of flying through CG systems in open. They can (and do, repeatedly) interdict me, but they can't stop me!
