Federal Corvette Vs Imperial Cutter, Base stats.

Tempestfox3 · Nov 13, 2015

Well, my PC CMDR is poor as hell right now so I can't actually buy most of the ships even at Test server prices. (I asked frontier to transfer some money from my Xbox CMDR to PC, They said no)

Anyway, please bear in mind these are 100% shipyard stats, Test server prices are a flat 10% of what the live server price will be.

Imperial Cutter
True Cost: 208,969,450
Top Speed: 202
Boost Speed: 323
Manoverability 2/10

Federal Corvette
True cost: 187,969,450
Top Speed: 198
Boost Speed: 257
Manoverability 2/10
Base Shields: 516

I know right? Think of the cargo capacity of the Cutter. Still has a pretty good boost speed too. Probably gonna be your new pirate ship am I right?

Comrade Error · Nov 13, 2015

Oh yea boost speed ain't too bad, won't be catching up to Pythons but I will be able to stay behind them for quite some time.

Edit: Well I say that but those are base stats, A grade thrusters

Honestly, it seems like the Cutter is superior, so unless its manuvrability is only comparable to the T9 I don't see why anyone would go for Corvette.

Interesting nice shield and armor for an imp ship. I think I'm in looove

Man oh man. Class 8 prismatic shield on a Cutter.. will be Bad a** now add SCB and we get the prettiest tank ever!!

Tempestfox3 · Nov 13, 2015

Yeah, those are standard stats right out of the Shipyard. Can't actually check what class the thruster module is either. Probably something quite large. I would imagine boost speeds of at least 350 when Upgraded.

Well we do have to take weight into acount, those class 8 shields are going to weigh a couple tons lol. I bet Coriolis will be getting an update very soon so then we can take some looks.

At any rate time for me to start grinding my Imperial Rank.

You can pretty much guarantee that it will have larger thrusters than the Anaconda. Imperial ships thus far have been all about those engines. I doubt the cutter will be any different. And the Anaconda's thrusters have an Optimal weight allowance of 2160t

Actually I just think they didn't add the stats yet, in-fact it might have better shields than the Cutter now I think about it.

Nevermind.. Cutter better be an Eagle in terms of manuvrability.

Stock shield values for the Corvette are written above the Screenshot. Couldn't get all the stats in the same screenshot and didn't want to put in multiple screen shots.

Yall are blind

"Base Shields: 516" right above the Corvette screen shot. As above the Corvette has more internals which meant I couldn't get the entire lot into one screen shot.

Good bye tradeconda hello tradeter...tradetter...either way 760t cargo with a 5A shield. I like it!

Jump range probably wont be as good. Though if you're doing a short range route who cares i guess? 68% more cargo capacity and more protection.

I feel like the Cutter is going to be the size of the ship in the opening scene of Spaceballs.

ok....sorry but how do you know that it's gonna be 760t cargo ??

Tempestfox3 · Nov 13, 2015

Well, thanks to Frontier (They credited my test server account with some funds so I could actually test things.)

Cutter internals.

Also, Hardpoint locations are as follows. The Class 2's are on the Engine nacells 1 on top 1 on the bottom of each. The Class 3's are the two guns you see on the top of the main hull mounted centre line. The Class 4 is also mounted centre line at the bottom of the hull right in front of those stairs into the ship that you see.
