With a base cost of almost 209 million credits, it is the most expensive ship in [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Elite_Dangerous Elite Dangerous], followed by the Federal Corvette and the [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Anaconda Anaconda]. Comparing the Imperial Cutter with those two ships (sometimes collectively referred to as the "big three" by the community), the Imperial Cutter is specialized for trading and decent in combat, whereas the Federal Corvette is specialized in combat and decent at trading, and the Anaconda is a multipurpose ship. The Imperial Cutter is currently the second largest playable ship, behind only the [[Beluga Liner]]. It was added in the 1.5 "[[Ships (Update)|Ships]]" update in December, 2015.<ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=191898</ref> | ||
