Imperial Cutter: Difference between revisions

Unlike the [[Type-9 Heavy]], it is extremely well-shielded, very fast for its size, and much better armed, giving it far greater combat survivability, especially in the piracy role, as it is capable of holding its own against a [[Federal Corvette]], [[Anaconda]], or [[Type-10 Defender]]. 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, if rather excessive. Keeping a shield generator on will let it handle most NPC pirates; however, the Type-9 will outdo it in terms of cargo capacity in this scenario.

The Imperial Cutter features 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. The pilot's seat is offset to the right of the ship, one co-pilot's seat being located to the pilot's left and the other one behind this. Notably, most of the exterior lights on the ship change color from blue to red while hardpoints are deployed.<ref>[https://imgur.com/gallery/MhUjXiO Imgur: The Imperial Cutter has mood lighting]</ref> It has 8 utility mounts and can carry a [[Fighter Hangar]] for [[Ship-Launched Fighters]].
