We will have to agree to disagree. I think the Cutter is the much better ship.
Federal Corvette Vs Imperial Cutter, Base stats.

Cutter's sposed to be faster, while Corvette manuver's better.
At low speeds, by a slim margin the Corvette. At high speeds the Cutter by a mile (Because the Corvette can't even reach those speeds xD)

The difference in turning rate at low speeds is barely noticeable.
Also, The Corvette is a slow moving brick. With two class 4 hardpoints that at the moment. Serve no purpose. Sure you can stick Plasma Accelerators in them but you can only fire twice before your power distributor runs dry and you start to have heat issues. And that maneuverability still makes it tough to bring plasma's to bear on anything other than an anaconda / Cutter. Anyway, you asked about the Asp Scout. I'll look at that now xD

The cutter is more versetile, but it's true the corvette is better in battle, but nothing else.
Ok, like I said "should" but look's like they went more multi role for both which is nice(also I knew when I saw 2 huge it was designed as a ship only meant to fight it's own weight class). Cool, just saw a video of one in a fight, but fighting and smuggling are 2 very different thing's. I'm hoping it will be a step up from the DBS like Asp Exporer is to the DBX, so mainly a fighter but good cargo for BB contract smuggling. I also think after watching a video of it and the Corvette and some of the UI changes I can't go back to the game until we get 1.5 except to earn cred's for a Corvette.
SRV only take's up 4 unit's of cargo space, so even a Sidewinder can carry one.

The Asp S has the same cargo capacity as a DBX with shield on both. It's a tad faster than a DBX and more maneuverable than a DBS. It does however pay for it with slightly reduced jump range. Hardpoints are in the same locations as the Asp Exp minus the 2 smalls above the cockpit.

The large internals are for launching fighter craft when those become available. Both the Corvette and Cutter can supposedly launch 2 (So I assume it will be a class 7 sized module for the launch bay?) while the anaconda can launch 1.
Sound's like it will be a sidegrade to the DBX, exactly as I thought it seem's. Look's like DBX will have the heat management and range, Asp Scout will have deffence and offence capabillity to fight better and/or deffend itself but be easier to get caught in. Thanks.
EDIT: Also does it still have the B-52 engine noise?

Lhs 3447 has everything on sale as well. Oh and 80M should be enough to outfit either the Cutter or corvette at test server prices. On the live sever it would take around 800M to fully outfit either.
Yep looks like it's plenty. Outside Jameson its an amusing constellation of the new ships.
Just built a Corvette seems like it's going to be fun
