{{quote|The Imperial Clipper is the quintessential Imperial ship. It epitomises elegance of form while delivering speed and agility. Because of its balance of Speed, Luxury and strength it is used for transporting valuable items and personnel of importance across the Empire.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Imperial Clipper''', built by [[Gutamaya]], is one of the [[Empire]]'s [[ships]] and thus are generally sold at [[Station]]s that are aligned with the Empire. To purchase the Imperial Clipper players must have earned the rank of Baron with the Imperial Navy.<ref group="nb">[[GalNet]] announced [https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55a4dc5d9657ba6d253de737 14 Jul 3301] that all independent pilots with an active Imperial Navy rank could now purchase the Clipper.</ref>

This ship is quite popular with [[pirate]]s, [[trader]]s, and some combat pilots. It is a reasonable pirate ship due to the large cargo capacity and heavy armament. Traders may find this ship appealing due to its superb cargo capacity and defensive capability; while it is more expensive than the [[Lakon Type-7]] it can easily defend itself against a pirate.

Pilots of any [[profession]] may appreciate its speed; it is second only to the Cobra MkIII with fully upgraded [[Thrusters]]. Additionally, its pitch rotation speed is higher than most ships, making it feel like a very hefty, weighted-down [[Eagle]] with a boost speed that is slightly higher than that of the [[Viper MkIII|Viper]]. Its only manoeuvering drawback, and likely the reason for its low overall agility rating, is its poor yaw capability; the vertical-lateral thrusters are very weak compared to those of other ships. This weakness, combined with very weak [[shield]]s for its size and wing-mounted [[hardpoint]]s ill-suited for fixed weapons, limits the Imperial Clipper's efficiency as a PvP [[combat]] ship even if the shields are upgraded to maximum. The Imperial Clipper is also currently the second widest ship controllable by players, which may pose a challenge with docking.

Speed and manoeuvrability fall off more heavily when heavily loaded than other ships, bringing it back into more normal speeds and turn rates when hauling cargo.

Both the ships interior and exterior are luxurious in design, the engines sport a radically different sound than other ships, and the large cockpit canopy features an unobstructed view of space.

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: One Class 3 large hardpoint on the top of each wingtip nacelle (total of two class 3 mounts), and One Class 2 medium hardpoint on the underside of each wing where the wing attaches to the main fuselage (total of 2 class 2 mounts). The wingtip mounts are very far from centerline and will have trouble converging their fields of fire unless used with gimbaled or turret mounted weapons. The underside mounts although closer together, also suffer the same field of fire convergence issues although to a lesser degree than the wingtip mounts.

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 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 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.
