Save for the Conda or the Cutter?

You have only one freedom in life and that’s to make your own decisions. Just get what you want.
You already have the Corvette, why would you want a Conda or Cutter?
Just kidding......
.....no serious, why?

Totally not the answer to the question the OP asked

So little information per your play style and where you are going in the game. PvE or PvP? The conversation totally changes with this answer. For PvE credit wise a slightly G3 engineered Python and allied with many factions near your home base will efficiently pay for every ship in the game with cargo missions in boom states. Then add a trading Cutter and the credits just start rolling in.
Corvette - Combat as the most maneuverable of the big three. When properly outfitted great for all those massive kills needed to get to combat Elite status. A little less grinding.
Anaconda - Slow and cheaper combat but amazing at exploration. Better weapons placement versus the Corvette. Great for passenger runs which also pays a lot. It's a big Python but slower.
Cutter - Amazing trader but with engineering and pilot skills will take on any opponent. More maneuverable than an Anaconda but less than a Corvette. Awesome shields. No other single ship can mass lock it or with the big three can fly faster than it. Being good at FA off is required for best combat results.
Here is my engineered trading Cutter using turrets. I'm lazy. With so many options in the game it is different for everyone. See if that is where you want to go. No PvE NPC will ever defeat it. Maybe not so much with PvP.

Depends on you, really. I tried several times with the 'conda and Cutter, but ended up getting rid of them. I still have my 'vette though.
The Anaconda is (IMO) the more flexible ship and with an Anaconda you will earn your way into a Cutter in no time. My Anacondas get a heck of a lot more use than my Cutters. o7
Depends what you want to do with it. I got mine specifically for trading, and cost 303 M total. Has paid for itself plus some.
On the other hand, have blown close to a billion on my combat vette.
I spent 500 million on my Anaconda, and loved it. I spent 1 billion credits on my Cutter, and I loved it. Just depends on how hard you're willing to work.
I'd say Cutter. For me, beats the conda in everything but jump range.
Yeah I davel in a bit of everything, though been doing a lot of trading today with Vanguard since Im earning 7.2mil trading basic meds in to them in my glorious Space Cow.
Meh, just fly a Cobra. All the cool CMDRs fly Cobras.
Pretty sound advice to me.
Cutter. For basking only. Do not fly this ship.
please what ever you do, dont get the cutter, imo its a waste of money need cargo type 9, need battle vette, need med ship python.
What are your goals? If trading then the Cutter, if exploring/multi purpose the Conda. If PvP, both will work but the Cutter has the edge IMO, if PvP piracy absolutely the cutter.
