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>

The Imperial Cutter is confirmed to debut in the 1.5 "[[Ships (Update)|Ships]]" update later in 2015.<ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=191898</ref>

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 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>

Also, if you have your eyes set on the clipper and only have 2mil cr, I would suggest getting a t-6, going 100 tons cargo and weak shields, grind to asp, Take a nice break and do lots of combat or w/e (in something less expensive to repair or rebuy than your asp), then grind with 120 cargo asp with shields to clipper. Honestly getting Rank is the easiest part. it's affording the damn thing that isn't so easy.

I think above comment meant to say 100tonnes cargo in T-6 with (lowest class) shields. Although Idk why they would suggest a T-6 in comparison with a Clipper...

Anyway, if you are not getting Rank missions, despite doing lots of rep type missions for appropriate factions, then change locations. You can get rank missions from a port that you have no personal rep with the locals, as long as you have enough major faction rep, and it's possible to be allied with a local faction, and have enough major faction rep, but just not be getting any rank missions from that port. It's wierd like that...

Idk why you are having a hard time completing these missions in an hour. When you need to take a message or cargo, it's straightforward to the system they tell you, the ones where you have to bring them cargo, you just need to know what kind of economy to go to for it, the assassin missions and pirate hunter missions are just dropping into Unidentified Signal Sources in the system they tell you until you find the target type. Hardest parts of any of these are that a station that sells combat stims may be far from where you are because they are not common (Although I can confirm that Soch has them and also offers that mission type) and the assassin target WILL try to run if you are winning, which is avoided by targeting either the FSD, Powerplant, or thrusters subsystems. Also, if you have to kill multiple pirates, killing one will send the others running, but you can avoid this by plinking all of them (aggro) then killing the highest threat first. The other two won't run right away, then, because they are already hostile to you.

all ranks can be gotten within 20ly of Jimara, and when you get need combat stims, Sochs has them, which is a bit farther I think, but it also has the Lord rank which asks for combat stims, which are sold in the same location. Cannot confirm anything above Lord rank, but I just went from Outsider to Lord in 1 hour upon arrival in Jimara. I already was friendly with Empire and was Allied with a minor faction allied with them. Also, Jimara currently has a civil war going on, Empire vs Independant, which is why I even went there. Intense conflict zones, at the time of writing this.

I've seen this posted elsewhere, And am wondering if anyone can confirm distance from star and whether they carry an Orca or Anaconda.

NLTT 36689 has everything but the clipper, I know, but that station "Francisco De Eliza" is FAR from the star thousands of Ls. So I am wondering about Blalock star distance.

Seems like the best faction, philosophically, but we need more informations on this page. Where do they stand on slavery, cloning, is there a concensus on banned items like weapons, drugs, or do these things vary from planet to planet? More information to compare and contrast with the other two factions. An example would be that I'm pro cloning (Federation isn't), but against slavery (Empire isn't): does Alliance weigh in, or does it just accept that each planet can decide for itself and it's people can just pick a planet that is most agreeable to them to settle on? (I'd be for that, I suppose, as I could at least leave a place that allowed or banned things that I disagree with, but still support the Alliance at large to protect these rights.) Who agrees?

" It is rumoured that these corporations have such influence and power that they can even direct the Federal government. Perhaps even to the point deciding who to elect as President!

Corruption and bribery are rife in the Federation and law enforcement has been known to turn a blind eye if the price is right."
