Imperial Cutter: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

The 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. Notably, the exterior lights on the ship change color from blue to red once hardpoints are deployed.

With ~~its~~ 792 ~~ton~~ cargo capacity it has the largest cargo bay a playable ship can have, ~~with~~ almost 50% ~~more space compared to~~ the [[Type-9 Heavy]], while having significantly better ~~shields~~ and speed than the ~~Type-9~~. This ~~will make~~ it ~~the most logical choice~~ for traders. However it costs almost three times more 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 a playable ship can have, an almost 50% increase 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 the most expensive ship in the game and costs almost three times more than a Type-9, and requires very high rank with the Empire to purchase.

Unlike the Type-9, it is extremely well-shielded, very fast for its size (though not maneuverable as it will take more than 8 seconds at minimum to make a 180 degree turn and more than 17 seconds for a 360 degree turn), and reasonably well-armed, giving it far greater survivability and allowing some limited use of it as a combat ship, especially in the piracy role. 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.
