The design philosophy reflects Imperial sensibilities as it is faster and more elegant than the Corvette, but doesn't quite match it in firepower. As with other Imperial warships the Cutter is also used for projecting soft power, via diplomatic missions and support for friendly powers. It is possible, although rare, for a well connected client or patron to own one of these ships. Like the Corvette, some models can deploy two small fighter sized ships, although civilian models are restricted to one.|In-game description}}The '''Imperial Cutter''' is manufactured by [[Gutamaya]], and is the [[Empire|Imperial Navy's]] counterpart to the [[Federal Corvette]].<ref>"The Imperial Cutter fulfils a similar role as the corvette for the Imperial Navy" - http://inara.cz/galaxy-shipyard/75</ref> It is currently the second largest player-piloted ship available, behind only the [[Beluga Liner]]. It was added in the 1.5 "[[Ships (Update)|Ships]]" update in December, 2015.<ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=191898</ref>

The Cutter is a heavily armed ship, featuring four medium [[hardpoint]]s: two on the nacelles and two on the chin; two large hardpoints on top of the ship and a single huge hardpoint on the chin. Notably, the exterior lights on the ship change color from blue to red once hardpoints are deployed. It has 8 utility mounts and is one of the 7 ships compatible with [[Fighter_Hangar|fighter hangar]] for [[Ship-Launched_Fighters|ship-launched fighters]] as of the release of [[Horizons]]: Guardians.

With a staggering 792 tons of max cargo capacity, the Imperial Cutter has the largest cargo bay of all playable ships in the game, an almost 50% increase in size from the [[Type-9 Heavy]], while having significantly better defensive and offensive capabilities and speed than the latter. This makes it an ideal ship for traders. However it is also the most expensive ship in the game at a cost almost three times higher than a Type-9, and requires very high rank with the Empire to purchase.

Unlike the Type-9, it is extremely well-shielded, very fast for its size (though not maneuverable as it will take more than 8 seconds at minimum to make a 180 degree turn and more than 17 seconds for a 360 degree turn), and reasonably well-armed, giving it far greater survivability and allowing use of it as a combat ship, especially in the piracy role, as well as being more than capable of rivaling a Corvette or Anaconda in combat. In addition, with plenty of internals available to mount mining accessories while still leaving the largest open for cargo holds, excellent speed for moving from asteroid to asteroid, and a sufficiency of medium weapon mounts, the Cutter is an excellent choice for mining.

The pilot's station is offset to the right of the ship's centerline. Currently, the primary and secondary fire group HUD brackets are misaligned with their centerline being far above where the weapon reticles appear. This means that it is not possible to use the center of the side brackets to align the ship with a destination as doing so will cause the ship to fly under the target and not straight at the target. Instead, for alignment in supercruise, use the center space between the repeating series of bars that appear to indicate speed and movement as a general guide to line up the ship with distant destinations along with the nav compass.

{{quote|The Fer-de-Lance is another classic design that has now been in production for two centuries. The ship became famous for its popularity with top business executives and wealthy bounty hunters, being a fast, well armed vessel, with luxurious accommodation and high quality components fitted as standard. Early models were built by Zorgon Peterson, but more recently, limited numbers have been upgraded by Saud Kruger in a rare collaboration, resulting in even more lavish creations, without spoiling the original design and specification requirements.|In-Game Description}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a heavy combat ship that handles almost identically to the [[Viper Mk III]] despite being much larger, but has improved weapons capacity, slightly less severe power management issues, and much better shields and armour. The {{PAGENAME}}'s hull is a bit more resistant to smaller [[weapons]] than other ships of its class.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=120789&p=1873136&viewfull=1#post1873136 Sandro Sammarco in the Official Forums]</ref>

The {{PAGENAME}} and the [[Anaconda]] are the only two [[ships]] capable of mounting the class 4 [[Plasma Accelerator]].

{{Quote|The Diamondback Scout is Lakon Spaceway's specialist combat explorer vessel. Unlike its bigger brother Asp, the Diamondback isn't suited as an all rounder vessel. It is popular with elite recon and pathfinder units with navies throughout human space. Its relatively low cost also makes it a popular choice with independent pilots who appreciate its combat and exploration potential.|In-game description}}
The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a long range combat &'' reconnaissance'' [[ships|ship]] which was released in the [[Powerplay]] update.

== History ==
{{Quote|The Diamondback Scout is [[Lakon Spaceways]]’ attempt to repeat the success of the [[Asp]] range at a medium price point. The result was a combat capable ship with good jump capability and was pitched as a light long range reconnaissance ship. After the ship’s maiden flight it was criticized for not having the same versatility as the Asp, but it has seen modest success in the long range reconnaissance, long range interceptor and fast picket ship roles for organisations not able or willing to invest in the heavy price tag of the Asp.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=347cbf826e Elite: Dangerous Newsletter #77]</ref>|In-game history}}
