When compared to the other two of the big three, the Corvette and Anaconda, the Cutter has several notable downsides; other than just the price tag. It has much less jump range than the Anaconda; though better than the Corvette and while it has impressive combat potential, its power distributor is not capable of keeping all its hardpoints effectively powered; thus the ship pales in combat potential compared to the other two, and even a [[Fer-de-Lance]] or [[Python]] is more than capable of taking down a Cutter. The awful maneuverability is also a major issue with the ship and makes its combat potential suffer even further and is lower than the other two. Compared to the significantly cheaper Type-10, it has the same maneuverability and less hardpoints although its superior placement and good speed can help it defeat a Type-10 in combat; and it also has much better pitch and yaw speeds. | When compared to the other two of the big three, the Corvette and Anaconda, the Cutter has several notable downsides; other than just the price tag.

The Cutter is a very effective multi-purpose ship. The ship | The Cutter is a very effective multi-purpose ship. The ship sacrifices the exploration focus of the Anaconda and combat focus of the Corvette for trading potential. Thus traders looking for a powerhouse ship complete with style will usually find the Cutter very satisfactory, while fighters and explorers may find the Corvette and Anaconda more useful respectively. | ||
Currently, the primary and secondary fire group [[HUD]] brackets are misaligned with their centerline being far above where the weapon reticles appear. This means that it is not possible to use the center of the side brackets to align the ship with a destination as doing so will cause the ship to fly under the target and not straight at the target. Instead, for alignment in supercruise, use the center space between the repeating series of bars that appear to indicate speed and movement as a general guide to line up the ship with distant destinations along with the nav compass. | Currently, the primary and secondary fire group [[HUD]] brackets are misaligned with their centerline being far above where the weapon reticles appear.
