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 it can deploy two small fighter class ships.|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 largest player-piloted ship available.

The Imperial Cutter 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 features 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.

With its 792 ton cargo capacity it has the largest cargo bay a playable ship can have, with almost 50% more space compared to the [[Type-9 Heavy]], while having significantly better shields and speed than the Type-9. This will make it the most logical choice for traders. However it costs almost three times more 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 some limited use of it as a combat ship, especially in the piracy role. 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.

CQC Championship

2015-10-07T00:30:14Z

72.174.136.34: /* Power upgrades */

[[File:CQC-Championship.svg|thumb|330px|CQC Championship logotype]]
The '''Close Quarters Combat Championship''', abbreviated as '''CQC '''or '''CQC Championship''', is a separate mode from Open Play, Solo, and Private Group that consists of several competitive modes including 12 player Free-For-All, 8v8 Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag. Ships available to pilot are the [[Sidewinder]], [[Eagle]] and [[F63 Condor]], as well as unlockable modules, such as [[weapons]] and abilities.<ref name=":0">[https://support.elitedangerous.com/kb/faq.php?id=147 What is the Close Quarters Championship (CQC)?], 2015-06-16 13:53 GMT</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/289d3107159c63abf2b197520776393f8414b579 GalNet News, 16 May 3301]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/node/215 Dev Update (02/07/2015)]</ref><ref group="nb">GPP period will only support 8 players on beta launch</ref>

The CQC mode is made available by [[Utopixx Entertainment]] which is a Federation owned company and can be accessed through the main menu. It provides a simulation of multiple arenas, modes and upgrades.

== Ranks ==
By participating in CQC matches you gain experience to rank up. As a player levels up they will unlock [[Close Quarters Combat/Ship loadouts|Ship loadouts]], weapons, abilities and internal modules. The max rank is 50.<ref name=":1" />

=== Prestige ===
After reaching max rank 50, the player will be able to reset their ranks back to rank 1 and lose all unlocks in order to get one Prestige ranking. This Prestige rank will increase the amount of credits one can earn after a match and the player will also receive an icon next to their name in both CQC Championship and in the main game mode. Gaining a Prestige rank will give the player a permit to [[CD-4311917/Attilius Orbital|Attilius Orbital]] starport in [[CD-4311917]].<ref name=":1" />

== Icons ==
{{Expand|date = August 4th}}
=== Capture the flag ===
When it comes to Capture the Flag, there are three distinct icons on the scanner that show which teammate has the flag,<ref>[[Media:Friendly-escort.svg|Friendly teammate with flag]]</ref> what enemy pilot has your flag<ref>[[Media:Enemy-flag.svg|Enemy pilot with flag]]</ref> and where the friendly base for your flag is.<ref>[[Media:Friendly-base.svg|Friendly base]]</ref>

The goal of this game mode is to simple steam the opposing teams flag an return it to your flag.

== Victory states ==
{{Expand|date = August 28th}}
=== Team conflict ===
Within Team conflict you have to either have more kills than the enemy team when the timer runs out or after your team has reached 25 kills.

=== Deathmatch ===
The first player to get 750 points wins

== Arenas ==
Orbital Junction is not yet in the game. When it comes to the environment it will contain destructible objects.

== Mechanics ==

=== Targeting ===
Unlike the main game, the target will be lost if obscured by any environmental object (asteroid, station wall, etc.). This will trigger "Target Missing" message and cause weapons to lose lock. However, shall the line of sight be restored, the original target will automatically be locked onto, causing it to appear again on both the HUD and the radar, triggering "Target Acquired" message. Note: you do not have to face the target to reacquire lock.

=== Time limit ===
Each mode and arena has a 15 minute time limit to complete your goals and at the 10, 5 and 1 minute, and 10, 5-1 second marks a notification on the top right UI panel will display with a narrator telling the player how long is left.

=== Playable area ===
If you fly out of the arena bounds, the 20-second self-destruct countdown will start. It does not overheat your ship (unlike the self-desctuct procedure triggered manually from the right-hand panel) and can be aborted by flying back into the arena.

=== Shield recharging ===
Once your shields are down, they will start recharging, draining the energy from the SYS capacitor. Unlike the main game, shields immediately gain 90% strength when recharging is completed (as opposed to 50%).

=== Destructible Structures ===
Inside certain tunnels, there are pillars which can be destroyed by shooting at them, after which they explode, allowing clear access through the tunnel.

== Power upgrades ==
{{Main|/Power upgrade/}}
There are four upgrades available in the arenas. But the upgrades will not necessarily be available on every map. To find a power upgrade on the scanner one should look for a grey icon. These indicate it is an upgrade which can be differentiated through its colours, hologram icons, and the name when targeting them. When targeting an upgrade, it will show up the name of the upgrade appended by "surge". Furthermore, the power upgrades have a timer that is listed right next to the Power Distributor.

To get an upgrade, one must fly through a circular object that has a hologram in the middle. It also appears to be possible to get the upgrade without actually going through to the other side of the hologram, as often happens when bumping into the frame around it

List below is what each upgrade is.
;Red (Weapon Enhance): Weapon damage enhancer.
;Blue (Stealth Mode): Stealth mode that works like [[Silent Running]] without losing [[Shield Generator|shields]] or gaining heat.
;Yellow (Shield Boost): Instantly refills your shields and overcharges them by 30%.
;Green (Speed Surge): Speed boost that briefly increases top speed.

== Weapons ==
{{Main|/Weapons/}}
There are a variety of weapons, each of which have their own pros and cons. One of which is an [[Overcharged Beam Laser]] that works like a [[Beam Laser]] but with higher damage at the cost of an increase in heat gain.
