Is This The Best Starter? | Star Citizen IAE 2952 | Drake Cutter

Nope, I'm not taking a shower in this ship until someone fixes those dangling electrical wires!

Have to agree, cutter is a great deal and a fun little ship. Not usually a fan of drake ships, but if this is the direction they are going, I'm paying more attention now.

This lil Cutter is just adorable. It's really a cool ship to start from scratch and still get a lot of gameplay loops covered.

'Runabout' yup that's the word. Not really a 'ship' but not a 'shuttle' either. Can't believe how much bang for the buck the Cutter brings :)

I've been waiting to get to the end of IAE before making a decision on the Cutter. This vid and comments have been very helpful. Thank you.

When the Cutter was shown in yellow from the back, I noticed that it is the Vulture without the long arms in front and a different cockpit.

I love it for a $45 starter and the only change I would make is to give it a jump seat in the cargo hold. After flying it a few days I'd definitely recommend it to a new player.

Pricewise? Yeah, I think it is probably the best. You can juuuuuust fit an STV in the back and the PTV fits great. Since this is so much cheaper than the Avenger Titan, I think I have to agree this is the best pound for pound starter ship out there.

Just picked up a Cutter, and I love it. I tend to enjoy having a range of small ships in order to pick the right ship for the job.

Outside of it looking like a flying rectangle, it actually almost has that much older SciFi looking spaceship design with it's look

The new Cutter pack seems like a steal. I have a couple friends trying SC out for the first time during IAE and they have already fallen in love with the Cutter and all it can do. It may not be the best at everything, but it sure feels great to use it and really has an immersive feel about it.

I was not expecting to like the Cutter but the ability to get out of your ship gunning is great for bounty missions!

Cutter with a VK-00 is top tier for bunker missions, box missions, and general exploration in the current patch.

I'm an Origin fan myself, and I have a 125a, Pisces C8R, 325a, and an Avenger Titan (at least until the Spirit series gets released). So I absolutely do not need the LTI Cutter that I bought. It is definitely an LTI Token. But it's also my #1 recommendation now for anyone joining the verse. It's a better daily driver than the Avenger. The Avenger is better for combat, but I did take the Cutter into Solo Pirate Swarm and get it to wave 8/10 with stock parts on the first try. It's a solid little tank.

The Cutter game pack with LTI is a no brainer. The looks, remind me of SpaceBalls every time. 6k Q fuel is an insane range, though that may be a necessity in Pyro.

I bought the Cutter starter package, with S42 addon (I used store credit for the latter). Then I melted my old starter package. Just for the LTI, if nothing else.

I love this little thing! I usually use my Nomad for box runs and bunkers, but I've swapped it out with the Cutter and it's been a great change of pace. Sound design on the cutter is amazing. Oh, and I'd loooove a Leadnap Gaming ccu for my Odyssey ccu chain!

I totally agree with you. Unless you really want to be focused on space combat, the Cutter is now my #1 Starter Ship recommendation. If you were someone new to living in the 'verse, the Cutter would give you the best overall experience. To distinguish from the Cutty, I've been calling it the Cutlet. That said, I already have a Pisces (C8X, soon to be a C8R once I apply the CCU after IAE) and a 125a. I'm even CCUing my Avenger Titan up to an E1 when the Spirits go live. So, I don't need any more starters. But it was cool enough, and so well done, that it was tempting.

Great review. I to think this is amazing value and believe it will be best in show next year!

For my friends that are still hesitant about joining the verse I've gotten one to get this and I'm gifting it to another. This is a fantastic starter and I hope the old starters get brought up to par.
