With a base cost of almost 209 million credits, it is the most expensive ship in [[Elite Dangerous]], followed by the Federal Corvette and the [[Anaconda]]. Comparing the Imperial Cutter with those two ships (sometimes collectively referred to as the "big three" by the community), the Imperial Cutter is a multipurpose-specialized ship, much like the Anaconda, while the Federal Corvette is geared more toward the combat role. As it is a multipurpose ship, the Cutter excels in multiple roles. 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> | The '''Imperial Cutter''' is the [[Empire|Imperial Navy's]] counterpart to the [[Federal Corvette]],<ref>"The Imperial Cutter fulfills a similar role as the corvette for the Imperial Navy" - http://inara.cz/galaxy-shipyard/75</ref> and requires an [[Empire/Ranks|Imperial Navy rank]] of Duke in order to be purchased.

With a staggering 792 tons of max cargo capacity, the Imperial Cutter has the largest cargo bay of all playable ships in the game, an almost 50% increase in size from the [[Type-9 Heavy]], while having significantly better defensive and offensive capabilities and speed than the latter. This makes it an ideal ship for traders. However it is also the most expensive ship in the game at a cost almost three times higher than a Type-9, and requires very high rank with the Empire to purchase. | With a staggering 792 tons of max cargo capacity, the Imperial Cutter has the largest cargo bay of all playable ships in the game, an almost 50% increase in size from the [[Type-9 Heavy]], while having significantly better defensive and offensive capabilities and speed than the latter.
