Federal Corvette Vs Imperial Cutter, Base stats.

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.

Dude, you've got to stream this or something WE BEG YOU!

Oh and that class 7 distributor though.. eh.. seems a bit shady doesn't it :p

No I believe if you counted cargo by size of internal you are pretty close .
Closer than I got anyway Lol..
TEMPEST glad you got hooked up with some credits.. You seem to be our only source so far . THANKS for your efforts.
 
And Corvette Internals.

I can't stream, Part of The reason I moved to the xbox version is because although my PC can play elite. It can't play it all that well, Elite actually runs better on my Xbox than it does on my PC. Plus I have no friends on PC xD

If you check Chaoswulf and Squidoflove's youtube channels they're bound to upload videos about the new ships over the next few days. Just thought I would put some info up here on the forums for all us Xbox'ers.

If it isn't too much to ask could you do a video on both simply flying around doing some basic manuvering and speed tests?

Have they said what the required rank is going to be?

Don't think so but many have said that it probably will be rank 12 (rear admiral for Feds)
 
So far, the Cutter has better thrusters and FSD while the Corvette has a better Distributor and Sensors. Cutter also wins in terms of Internals though IMO. Going to put them through their paces for a bit :)

Edit: Oh and with an A8 shield and 3 A0 Boosters the Cutter has 1,500mjs of shield.

Tempest are you telling me I will not be able to use 4 railguns on the mediums of the Cutter? :(


Actually I was wrong, only 2 of the hardpoints are on the Engine Nacelles on the wings. Each Nacelle has 1 class 2 on the top. The other Class 2 guns are on the underside of the main body right behind the Class 4 hardpoint.

In the foreground you can see the two class 3 hardpoints on the roof of the main body of the ship in the distance two of the class twos on the wings.

This is the underside of the nose of the ship. At the front is the Class 4 hardpoint behind and to each side of it are the other class 2's

P.S Sorry for the low Res screen shots, my Laptop is Barely above a potato graphics wise (740m is not a powerful graphics card.)

So, Aside from those two on the wings the rest of the hardpoints are really well located.

No rush tempest, but if you don't mind I'd appreciate your opinion on the new Asp Scout. I want to know if it may compete with my DBX for top smuggling ship. ;)
 
Good bye tradeconda hello tradeter...tradetter...either way 760t cargo with a 5A shield. I like it!

Looks like you're overlooking something. Cutter hull mass is 1100T. Max hull mass for 5A shield generator is 1013T, so it won't work on a Cutter. This means that 760T cargo won't happen unless you go shieldless. Good luck with that!

Good catch! With the 6A it will be 728 tonnes. Still not too bad. :)
 
Got the cash set aside for my lovely new Cutter and the upgrades, just got one more Imperial Rank to snag (incase King rank is required to buy) then I'm all set! Can't wait to get my grubby little mitts on that ship! :D

Oh, and the Keelback too. I'm hoping it'll be a good little smuggler :D
 
With an A8 Shield and 8x Boosters the Cutter has 2,500mj of shield. xD

Also, without a shield 792t cargo capacity with a 15.01ly jump range. Though I wouldn't want to try it without a shield. The thing barely fits through the letterbox. Think type 9 width. Anaconda height. You physically can't fit thought the letterbox with landing gear deployed.

With a shield 728t cargo capacity with 15.1ly jump range. 14.9ly if you use 8x shield boosters as well.
