Imperial Cutter Ship Kit. Please Frontier....With Cherrys on top?

So I love all the ship kits even though I dont own them all but as I have that thought I start to feel like my money maker is lacking some extra details that would make my Cutter "Blue Dream" complete. I havent heard anything from anyone lately about this and feel free to point out the info if you can find some somewhere. I literally keep dreaming of a Cutter that looks kind of like an overweight SR-71. Long stretched out nose cone with a wing placement that connects the front of the nacelles to the main body of the ship. Maybe even Wing tips that extend out of the sides of the nacelles but I realize i wouldnt fit on the landing pad so maybe fold up wing tips......Ok so Im done dreaming now but I still want to hear what others would have to say. o7 to all CMDR's Fly safe out there.

So because you cant have the paint job you want no body should be allowed a Cutter body kit. I hear you logic although I dont agree with it. That would also be like saying we dont want atmospheric landing next season because it wont include Earth-likes. We will take whatever you throw at us Frontier but an update on the Cutter Body kit would be greatly appreciated. Besides, I just really think its time for the Cutter body kit and bugged paint jobs doesn't change that.

Oh and everyone has been complaining about that for over a year. Thats the reason you think we shouldnt get a Cutter body kit. Simple explaination for why thats like that.......Its the engine thrust guard. Go look under the hood of you car and tell me if you see certain things that get very hot that also dont match the color of your car. The reason these things are different colors is because it has a heat coating of paint on it. An before u say its a video game and they should be able to just color it from my stand point it adds to the immersion/realism. My buddy had a white RX7 that had a custom exhaust and even he thought about changing the color of just his back bumper to stop all the scorch marks that came from driving it.

If they release a bunch of raider spikes and a rusty paint job for the iCutter, that is going to break so many Imperial Laws on taste, decency, decorum, etiquette and basking. :D

Well iships don't do any of that well so I think they are fine.

Bump!
The Corvette and Anaconda have kits, so why can't the Cutter?

I believe the lack of Imperial Kits is due in large part to the lack of STRAIGHT LINES in the ship designs. Look at all the ships that do have kits and you will find them to all utilize straight or angular lines. Imperial ships use curved lines, making them much harder to "BOLT ON" pieces like existing ship kits basically do.

The folks creating these various kits are also big fans of COPY/PASTE. ;)

The Reaver/Reaper Spikey Kits are a perfect example of how Frontier prefers to "recycle" their assets rather than taking the time to actually design unique custom kits for each ship. The Anaconda and Python reaper kits are by and large rehashes of the previous Cobra kits, just made larger to fit the larger ships with copy/pasted spikes used to fill out the additional surface area.

You can find pretty much ALL of the pieces from the Cobra kits copy and pasted into the Anaconda and Python kits. This is why there are so many clipping issues with landing gear flaps, pieces floating in mid air and not actually contacting the hull etc. etc. etc.

A LAZY approach and something I have no interest in supporting with my $$!

Logic? I look at his screenshot and I can't even quite understand what the problem is :) Speaking of which, I want gold anaconda back. The rest is garbage.

Have you guys actually seen the existing ship-kits?

What could you possibly bolt to an iCourier or iCutter that'd improve the way it looks?

Spikes?
Spoilers?
Sticky-out winglets that make it look like roadkill?

*EDIT*

And, yes. I have 5 ship-kits so I'm in no position to dictate what constitutes stylishness. :eek:

I'd be happy if they fixed the chrome skin to be chrome again, rather than this godawful grey brushed matte rubbish it is now.
Then fix the skins on the Vette kit.
Then perhaps an Gutamaya Medium Pad ship.
Then, and only then, a Cutter kit. But let's not have those awful proboscis things going on.

Would be kind of like gluing a Picnic Table on the roof of a Porsche 911. ;)
