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 (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 medium weapon mounts, the Cutter is unquestionably the best mining ship yet.

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a fast multipurpose ship just barely larger than the Sidewinder, it is the second-lightest-hulled playable ship thus far but its upgrades are heavier.

The {{PAGENAME}} is armed, [[shield]]ed and armoured well beyond what would be expected for its size in compensation, acting like a medium-heavy fighter in combat. In terms of agility it ranks somewhere between the much more powerful [[Fer-de-Lance]] and the longer-ranged [[Diamondback Explorer]], falling well short of the [[Vulture]], [[Sidewinder]] or [[Eagle]].

The weapon hardpoints are located in the following places: 1 medium hardpoint at the front of each engine pylon, and 1 medium hardpoint underneath the nose.
