Just wondering which ship would be better for economy passenger mission? have been using my cutter but im starting to see ana builds which have more passenger bays on the ani, any ideas?
Horizons Cutter or Anaconda

- Start date
Just look at the bridge of the two ships ... the Cutter has such style !

Even with the class 5 shield mod on the Cutter, the Annie can carry a few more passengers and it is way narrower.
Class 7 and 8 passenger cabins would be nice.

Thanks for all the input, I did go with the Anaconda as it can carry more cabins and is so much easier to move around, its a shame i was working on fitting a class 5 thermal shield to my cutter when it occurred that the conda wouldn't need a lucky roll to fit class 5 shields and would also fit more cabins. Still i miss flying the cutter but love the money i make with the extra cabins more.
what about a t10 can it carry more passengers then a anaconda?
Think too about maneuverability. Type 9/type 10 have not maneuverability ( value 0 ) . Anaconda heve 2 about maneuverability value
Here you can see the rating ( cutter is marked as 0 but have more maneuverability than t9 and t10 )

Corvette can carry 196 w/ class 5 shields.
I'd say the T10 is much more maneuverable in/around stations than the Cutter, were it not for the tail.

Anaconda has better handling , but Cutter has style .
Why do you need shield ? It is not going to help you in Open when you are ganked and in other modes NPC pose no threat unless you want them to interdict you .
Jump range is useless in bulk economy runs
I use my Cutter but i used Anaconda a lot , Cutter just because i don't have any use for it anymore so my passengers can fly in fancy spaceship not in bucket of loose wires

only thing i am interested in guys in bulk E passenger missions so Cutter,Conda or the fat t10?
Yup really wish that we had 8E/7E passenger cabins in game, would make my Cutter worth using for passenger missions rather then my Ani which while nice to fly isnt a Cutter. Was thinking of grabbing a Beluga for ecom passenger missions but still not sure of the passenger count on it yet, will check when i have a bit of time.
