Elite imperial clipper7/28/2023 Traders looking for a stylish, powerhouse ship with ample cargo capacity will usually find the Imperial Cutter more than satisfactory, while fighters and explorers may prefer the Federal Corvette and Anaconda, respectively. It lacks the versatility of the Anaconda and the combat prowess of the Federal Corvette, but has considerable potential as a trading vessel that can easily defend itself. The Imperial Cutter is expensive and ponderous, but overall a very effective multi-purpose ship with a heavy armament. While the Federal Corvette surpasses it in terms of sheer firepower and the Anaconda excels at versatility, the Imperial Cutter still wields a formidable array of weapon hardpoints, the largest maximum cargo capacity of all ships, and enough armour and shields to shrug off damage from all but the most tenacious attackers. The most expensive ship on the market that can be manned by a single pilot, the Imperial Cutter epitomizes Gutamaya's synthesis of form and function. It serves as the Imperial Navy's counterpart to the Federal Corvette, and purchasing it requires achieving an Imperial Navy rank of Duke. The Imperial Cutter is a ship manufactured by Gutamaya for the Empire. With sufficient armour and shielding to withstand all but the most determined attacks, and a total of seven hardpoints, the Cutter boasts an intimidating combat profile, while its substantial cargo hold makes It a solid choice for traders. Pick a job for it to do or you will be dropping close to 1 billion or more on something another ship could do for 1/3rd the price.The pride of Gutamaya's shipyards, the Imperial Cutter is a formidable all-rounder. (it is fun to fly and not worth much else) The cutter needs to be bought with a purpose in mind to be viable. You can skip the clipper entirely and not miss much. Even autodock fails at flying the thing quite often. Without fully engineered A class thrusters don't expect the Cutter to make it out of the starport without ramming everything in its way like a drunken soccer mom in a SUV. Honestly though the Kraits and the python are better than the clipper and have more utility. I have done PvE and PvP in both ships successfully but both ships are their own beast. However the clipper has bad weapon mount placements and needs power-play items to make it viable in anything but the most basic task. Both need engineering to be worth using as main ship. Cutter for a flying and very expensive and very unwieldy tank, and either one is fun to fly. Definitely recommend.Ĭlipper for a cheap, speedy, and niche build. Kill warrant scanner is in the same firegroup as my beam laser so I always scan at the same time when I fire my weapon.ĨA Fuel Scoop is awesome. If you want to min-max you could use a armored power plant with my weapons, but I sometimes want to experiment with other weapons that are more power hungry and I don't want to keep swapping power plants between builds. My hull reinforcements and military grade armor is enough for most NPC pirates. If I want to trade a lot I swap out most of my modules, including my shield, for cargo racks. I use Bi-Weave since I don't want to wait 25 minutes for my shield to recharge and I think it is sufficient for PvE with the Cutter's natural strong shields. At short range I only rely on my turrets and fighter unless I'm fighting a big ship. I use my huge beam laser to snipe at long range. ![]() Originally posted by Stinker666: I just want an Imperial ship for my main ship.My main ship is a cutter which I use as a multipurpose. Also I got ganked in it once and got annihilated in literally 3 seconds. I did use a Krait MKII for a bit, but I prefare the lots-and-lots-of module slots on the large ships. Probalby gonna go with the Cutter and maybe even sell my T-9 (good times with it though trading myself up to elite in it). I'm not looking for the best min-maxed ship in the game, I just want an Imperial ship for my main ship. ![]() Yeah, I'm already going for prismatic shield and have engenieerd shield boosters on my Conda. This is before any shield boosters or engineering.Įven though it is the fastest of the big 3 (anaconda & corvette) it's not very agile so I prefer using a lot of turrets and a elite fighter, not that you will have any trouble escaping if needed since the Cutter also has the highest mass lock of all normal ships (ie: not thargoids, carriers or battlecruisers). For comparison, these are the raw shield values from the best prismatic shield each ship can equip: Originally posted by Citronvand:Cutter has the strongest shields in the game, there's not much that can take them down in PvE.
