The Cutter features 4 medium [[hardpoint]]s: 2 on the nacelles and 2 on the belly; 2 large hardpoints on top of the ship and 1 huge hardpoint on the chin. Notably, the exterior lights on the ship change color from blue to red once hardpoints are deployed.

[[Frontier Developments]] also confirmed it will have bad manoeuvrability and a high top speed. It is the largest player piloted ship as of 1.5 Beta 3.

With its 792T cargo capacity it has the largest cargo bay a playable ship can have, topping the Type-9 with 260T more cargo space, over 48% more space, while having significantly better shields and speed than the Type-9. This will make it the most logical choice for traders.

Unlike the Type-9, it is extremely well-shielded, very fast (though not maneuverable) for its size, 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 class 2 weapon mounts, the Cutter is unquestionably the best mining ship yet.

{{quote|The Vulture space superiority fighter sacrifices hardpoint flexibility for manoeuvrability. Advanced manufacturing techniques have allowed the Vulture to integrate large hardpoints into its relatively small frame, offsetting the ship's limited weapon count, but its nimble flight characteristics make it equally devastating against smaller targets. A limited cargo and passenger capability has not stopped it becoming a preferred personal transport for those who like to project a certain attitude in their dealings.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Vulture''' is a heavy space superiority [[:Category:Fighters|fighter]].

With its two large [[hardpoint]]s, the Vulture sports superb fire power for its relatively small frame. Although it lacks top speed compared to other ships, its lateral thrusters put the ship among the most agile and manoeuvrable fighters, thus allowing for more powerful lateral slides and vertical hops.

The Vulture's main drawback is its limited power capacity given the two large hardpoints and the excessive amounts of utility mounts and internal compartments on offer, which can be counteracted to a degree by smart [[module priority control]] and sacrifices in the loadout choice.

The two large hardpoints are located above and behind the cockpit, about halfway down the hulk of the ship. They are well suited for any type of [[weapons|weapon]] mount — fixed, gimballed, or turreted — and capable of shooting at targets even slightly underneath the waterline of the hull. Merely fixed weapons may have slight issues with converging on smaller targets like [[Sidewinder]]s, [[Eagle]]s, or [[Hauler]]s.

==Trivia==
*The Vulture was originally priced at 21,925,615 CR. After an outcry from the community that it was way overpriced, Frontier lowered the cost of the Vulture to 4,925,615 CR.
