Imperial Cutter

Revision as of 13:50, 27 April 2016 by 90.222.158.206 (talk) (Re-worded the section about the ship being "Unquestionably the best mining vessel in the game" to a more neutral, less opinion-based description.)

Template:QuoteThe Imperial Cutter is manufactured by Gutamaya, and is the Imperial Navy's counterpart to the Federal Corvette.[1] It is currently the largest player-piloted ship available.

The Imperial Cutter was added in the 1.5 "Ships" update in December, 2015.[2]

The Cutter features four medium hardpoints: 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.

Unlike the Type-9, it is extremely well-shielded, very fast (though not maneuverable) for its size, 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 and can be considered one of the best ships for said profession.
