The Cutter requires some experience. Flying it around stations teaches you how much drift you have under different speeds and loadouts. I like to boost as soon as I drop from SC, then go FA off and flip her around. Then engage FA just at the right time so she settles out near the intersecting invisible line down the middle of the slot. That takes practice (and try not to hit any authority ships in the process). It's fun though. Just not a lot of fun to fly in combat, for me.Never had FDS but Cutter feels like overweight hippo sliding on wet ice. Boost and tur and you're guaranteed you will overshoot as much as you have turned.

But I find myself flying the Python more, just because it handles better in combat and when flying in between broken asteroids with the abrasion blaster.
what every you do do not buy a cutterBeen playing this game for a little over 4 months and I am about to give up on it. Working and saving. Grind. Repeat. Grind. Doing mostly cargo runs and the occasional salvage job. Tried passenger runs but that soon turned out to suck. Too many "demanding" passengers expecting me to go other places after I am already on my final jump to destination. Then bailing on me without paying or cancelling the contract. So no more of those jobs.
Anyway, I am now finally able to afford an Anaconda so I buy one and deck it out nicely. A-rated are the FSD and Power Distributor and everything else is much upgraded from stock. Yet I am unable to evade interdiction no matter how slow or fast I'm going or how laden or unladen I am because this brick just will not turn fast enough to keep aligned with the escape vector. I've been destroyed twice now by interdictors that fly around me like I'm standing still because I can't get them in my sights. And on the infinitesimally rare chance I finally do get a bead on one, even my massive weapons (everything gimballed) seemingly have zero effect. Even my frag cannons and torpedoes do nothing. My shields may as well not even be there because they're always gone after only a couple volleys of enemy fire. Every time. I'm dead within 10-15 seconds. Boom game over.
Now I'll admit I'm no combat veteran but I have been playing this game more than long enough to know how to FLY and fly well. I've owned almost a dozen different types of ships so far and have successfully evaded EVERY previous interdiction. But a couple more interdictions and destroyed Condas and I'm going to be broke and then I'm going to say f**k this game. When you can't beat NPCs in what's bragged on as one of the baddest- ships in the game and you've made it even way more bad- than stock, then what is the point of even playing?
