{{Quote|The Imperial Cutter fulfils a similar role as the Corvette for the Imperial Navy. 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, some models can deploy two small fighter sized ships, although civilian models are restricted to one.|In-game description}} | {{Quote|The Imperial Cutter fulfils a similar role as the Corvette for the Imperial Navy.

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 base cost of almost 209 million credits, it is the most expensive ship in [[Elite Dangerous]], | The '''Imperial Cutter''', manufactured by [[Gutamaya]], 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 base cost of almost 209 million credits, it is the most expensive ship in ''[[Elite Dangerous]]'', exceeding the combat-specialized Federal Corvette and the multipurpose [[Anaconda]]. The Imperial Cutter is also currently the second largest playable ship, behind only the [[Beluga Liner]]. | ||
==Overview== | |||
The Cutter is a heavily armed ship, featuring 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. It has 8 utility mounts and is one of the eight ships compatible with [[Fighter_Hangar|fighter hangar]] for [[Ship-Launched_Fighters|ship-launched fighters]] as of the release of [[Horizons]]: Guardians. | The Cutter is a heavily armed ship, featuring 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.

However, it is also the most expensive ship in the game at a cost almost three times higher than a [[Type-9 Heavy]], which has a max cargo capacity of 788 tons, and requires very high rank with the Empire to purchase. | ||
Unlike the Type-9, it is extremely well-shielded, very fast for its size, and heavily armed, giving it far greater survivability and allowing use of it as a combat ship, especially in the piracy role, as well as being more than capable of rivaling a Corvette or Anaconda in combat. 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 an excellent choice for mining. | Unlike the Type-9, it is extremely well-shielded, very fast for its size, and heavily armed, giving it far greater survivability and allowing use of it as a combat ship, especially in the piracy role, as well as being more than capable of rivaling a Corvette or Anaconda in combat.
