SMB - a great review. FYI the sliding armour doors are in use in some modern helicopters designed for battlefield use. Primarily they are used to give you protection from small arms fire and snipers when you are coming in to land. So on the cutter you would slide those panels forward say going into Jumptown to prevent snipers in your 9 and 3 o clock getting a head shot on you as you land or are waiting for mates to load stuff in the back. The only place for a sniper to get you would be in the 12 oclock position and you would be very unlucky to present a sniper with that opportunity. So the sliding armour is a great feature and is based on real life battlefield equipment.
Thanks for that info, that is much better than it just being "rule of cool", as in CIG lore the glass is meant to be as strong as the metal... maybe they will deviate from that, or at least, maybe Drake will.
The cutter is slowly gonna become one of my daily flyers. it's great for the black kite mission when it gets put at mic l5 as it uses barely any fuel and i can snugly get it close to the eva lock due to it's small profile so I can do my usual corpse farming for the nine tails arrmour. I love the clunky sounds of the ramp and the engine off sound as it sounds like a proper mechanical fan just stop dead at the end of its power down cycle. Looks like an american freight train diesel engine and it is just a nice little ship overall. Flies really nice.
the ability to switch of the lights in the cockpit alone makes this awesome. i am am looking at you Cutlass with your stupid light behind the pilot chair.....
I love this little ship! Lots of fun to fly and the sound design is amazing. The engine sounds give it a real hot rod feel. Cargo bay windows are a nice touch, I just wish it had a jump seat or two in the cargo bay. I hope CIG swaps the action of the gear lever - right now lever up is gear down, instead of leaver down, gear down.
The Cutter is now my Daily driver to get around, do bunkers or when I play FedEx. ... It has a bed and I haven't refueled since I bought it. It's almost perfect. I wish you could retrieve it on surface outposts... but you can't have everything. XD
I quite like the Cutter as a starter utility ship. Seeing all the details in the ship is great and I like the Drake details like the engines looking like they might shake apart when afterburnering.
that panel at min 9:40 it will be used for hacking, not sure how deep, but my guess would be to unlock the door to the cockpit, or/and unlock flight capabilities since they will add security how would someone fly a ship, if you kill the pilot while hes on the pilot seat then yeah its unlocked but if he locks it before that, you'll need to hack which can take a while maybe even reinforcements. or that panel its to hack the distress beacon so the owner cant call for help.
Great video, and I love this ship! With the Quantum fuel capacity of 6K QFU's, I found that I can slap a VK-00 on it, and make the Microtech-to-ArcCorp run at 6 minutes. Coupled with a near-instant reclaim time, this is turning into the perfect daily driver.
Drake ships have that scavenger feel to them. The pilot/crew just found a wreck and patched it up where it actually functions but that's it, they didn't care for beauty and just need the thing to move and that's it. I love that vibe (also functions really well for a pirate-y vibe
To me drake seems like the cost-efficient brand of ships since they don't care much for exposed bits and bobs or smooth, perfect edges. The budget space-farer, so to speak.
Putting aside its design and gold standard advantages, i really fell for the sounds and that light flickering. I already liked the feeling of being in a ship that has been hard at work in the Cat but the designers brought this atmosphere out even more with this little can and the Corsair. It took me about 5 minutes of just listening to things opening and closing not too smoothly before my first liftoff
I love this ship. I also have a Nomad and an MSR but I really can't help but just load up in this and just feel like someone just trying to eek a living out in the Stanton universe.
This is going to be THE starter ship for pyro with the size of its quantum fuel tanks. I was able to fly across Stanton with a VK-00 drive and still be under a quarter fuel used
Heh, its two bath tubs and two trash cans welded together, with a typo for quantum fuel amount for sure (one extra digit was added there by an intern or something), but it really is one of the best starter ships assuming one does not want to do combat.
that bottom right spot in the back looks like u could secure a package for a delivery mission in it and lock it down,, think i might pick up cutter just to see . hate that roc wont fit that would be perfect to low sig to keep ppl from seeing you compared to cutlass while mining
Rain..... that rain sound..... so sleepy now.... But, you have that Jax sound like this is an insert behind the scenes Jax video after he stole the Cutter from Bob. hahaha
I bought it and no regrets. It has everything and the best part is the quantum fuel. I expect a nerf put if it even kept 1/4 the fuel its still pretty op.
All these shallow bowl toilets...guess the designers have never considered the very real possibility of serious splash back. Maybe there's a one way poop shield to prevent it?
i love this ship... dont like the 650k storage for local.. but i love the 650k external storage! makes for easy transfering goods to friends... i put the pvt in the back and do the drug bunker missions makes nice for parking at a distance and avoiding turrets. my new fav ship tbh and i own every ship in the game minus a few pledge ships :P
Great video, lovely little flying can xD Can you please tell me how your external camera is moving so freely? Is there some magic setting I'm not aware of?
I'm very much enjoying mine as a new player. Picked it for looks and the sort of character I wanted to play, I'm not that much into PvP or heavy FPS combat, more of en explorer and person willing to carry stuff here and there. I've not tried, but is there any reason why passengers could not travel, in great discomfort of course, in the cargo bay or sitting on the bed? I've passed up on a couple of beacons that were close by not knowing that one.
I used this ship to get REP really fast. Its an amazing little ship. Its so small you can land next to buildings and no need to bother anyone on landing pads or be in anyone way. It is also fast where i was able to outrun someone trying to kill me. Reason being is acceleration in this little thing is outstanding. Its my fav small ship.
Technically you can land an MSR next to a building away from the pads also. And acceleration in the Cutter is not as fast as you think it is - if someone was shooting at you and you got away - they likely weren't much into gunning you down and broke off or not that good in a fighter. The Cutter is even slower than an Aurora.
I just love having 6k QT fuel to be able to get a ship that moves fast, and that I don't have to worry about its fuel tank. Not a Drake fan, but as many this has become my daily driver 😆
On begin: I hate Drake ships, it's 30th century and we have "new" ships made by duct tape :D But I was forced to break this video in middle and see it again by self. Ok, I still hate Drake and this new flying brick, but I checked combat (low tier) against NPC's and it's quite nice, ofc Titan perform better. Anyway Cutter has one big advantage that force me to consider buying one: range with VK-00 Quantum Jump. Anyway: Great video, I watched maybe 5 or 6 cutter "reviews" and only this "force" me to consider check it again and maybe buy one. Great job.
Wanted to melt my aourora for this drake And i missed it because i cant log in to star citizen it seem my outlook mail cant get mails from the game and im locked out from it or my browser acount🤯
Hey, what's your setup? I tried to get star citizen on my current pc (Built for gaming, can run most games max graphics) but it still lags. So, I'm just wondering on kinda what I might need to make Star citizen run smooth.
It's got so much Q fuel. Put that Civ A drive the Alpha or something on it and it's going to go forever at a decent speed. Put a industrial one on and a willingness to take the time and you'll never refuel that sucker.
As an engineer I don't want to be able to just work on components. I want to be able to work on everything in between such as electronics, electrical, capacitors, relays, transistors, regulators, ect. I want to know the ships in and out. I want to know all the tips and tricks. I want to be like Scotty or Lt. Geordi. Lol
First the software developers would have to progam all of that stuff in. And as they are doing much of it - I don;t think it will become as fine-grained as you are hoping. And it's already been 10 years of development time - we don't need it to go another 10-20 eyars before they release the game.
What I like about it is that the retro thrusters are very powerful so you can fly almost all the way at full thrust then only chop the engine at the last moment. NOTE: don't try that if you are in VTOL mode as that swivels the retro thrusters upwards 😏
I really dislike having the lock only usable from one side... You can easily lock yourself out of the toilet... And less easily lock yourself out of the cockpit... Quite a good way to troll people that leave their ships open.
it's the cheapest ship you can use to mine with a ROC . And the fastest to travel around with this huge quantum tank and a VK-00 . Also the worst for pve ( pvp) bounty mission , but fast enough to flee . So well, if ship to ship pve is not your thing, at 45 $ , it IS the best starter ship for now AND an excellent daily driver .
4 scu or cargo for a starter. Respectable. has a bed. respect has vtol, noice lots of new flight assists buttons. Really good and 6k qt tank. i'm sold, what more is there to ask
Drake cutter good with everything except combat (and not really good, will cargo haul better than every starter and avenger but cargo hauling with anything that doesn't have hundreds of scu only counts as RP)
Design would be much better if they removed turret and made head bulkier, added 4 more rockets instead of that useless turret in front and two beds for 2 crew members would be cherry on top
Top Tip, Mac: turn on mouse smoothing and lower the mouse speed. Ship tours for us TH-cam viewers are a different animal entirely from you playing in-game 😎 Get's a bit janky, kind of thing. All the best :) Edit, not for flying obvs
From an aerodynamical point of view this bulky box can't even lift itself two feet in the air. SC is a wonderfully bizarre game, spending tons of time and your money to craft the most realistic looking rivers and sand caves on the very few planets it manages to keep up, but at the same time creating these idiot spaceships that in reality can never fly.
Not really a great video sorry. There isn't really a showcase why the Cutter is a great ship. Furthermore for new players. How do you use the Cutter. How do upgrades effect this ship.
People are such simps for new stuff.. This ship really is not that great. It's interesting, it is certainly new, but it is in no way exceptional. It's a Starter ship, that feels like a Drake, that is all it is.
I'd say it's the best low tier starter ship, as an alternative to the Mustangs and Auroras. But the Nomad and Titan exist, so it's far from the best starter overall.
Not enough room for an ROC !!! What an oversight. Only 4 SCU cargo.... not my idea of a 'great' or 'the best' starter ship. Love the general level of polish on all the new ships but, for me, the Cutter is next to useless.
Well in fact you can use it to transport a ROC ( regular, not the DS ) . You can park it inside the cutter( normal, not in reverse ) , exit and drive the cutter around . You can't close the ramp, but the roc won't fall ( for now at least ) . You can't quantum drive ( well in theory you can, but it's clipping a lot, so explosion may happens ) , but usually when you mine with a ROC you go to the planet, then claim the ROC from a bay, so not really an issue there . Granted, it's simpler to do it with a ship made for it ( nomad , cutlass, freelancer max, etc ... ) , but it's not really hard to do .
Hahaha and spending millions of dollars on creating toilets on board spaceships - so who's actually going to take a digital dump while playing this pre-alpha version of a non game?
Reminds me of the Spaceballs Winnebago 😂😂.

Thanks for that info, that is much better than it just being "rule of cool", as in CIG lore the glass is meant to be as strong as the metal... maybe they will deviate from that, or at least, maybe Drake will.

Looks like an american freight train diesel engine and it is just a nice little ship overall. Flies really nice.
The cargo bay is huge for new players clearing bunkers and having the ability to collect all the gear in a 2scu box is a money maker
the ability to switch of the lights in the cockpit alone makes this awesome. i am am looking at you Cutlass with your stupid light behind the pilot chair.....
It’s a Space Kombi for damn Space Hippies.
🧔🏼♀️
Groovy, man.
I love this little ship! Lots of fun to fly and the sound design is amazing. The engine sounds give it a real hot rod feel. Cargo bay windows are a nice touch, I just wish it had a jump seat or two in the cargo bay. I hope CIG swaps the action of the gear lever - right now lever up is gear down, instead of leaver down, gear down.
what kind of shit rolls about in your head that any part of the cutter reminds you of a hot rod. you sound vaccinated.
The Cutter is now my Daily driver to get around, do bunkers or when I play FedEx. ... It has a bed and I haven't refueled since I bought it. It's almost perfect. I wish you could retrieve it on surface outposts... but you can't have everything. XD
I quite like the Cutter as a starter utility ship. Seeing all the details in the ship is great and I like the Drake details like the engines looking like they might shake apart when afterburnering.
"It sounds like it's going to break any minute... I love it" sums it up for me :)
that panel at min 9:40 it will be used for hacking, not sure how deep, but my guess would be to unlock the door to the cockpit, or/and unlock flight capabilities since they will add security how would someone fly a ship, if you kill the pilot while hes on the pilot seat then yeah its unlocked but if he locks it before that, you'll need to hack which can take a while maybe even reinforcements.
or that panel its to hack the distress beacon so the owner cant call for help.
I didn't even know my Vulture had vtols :) And I agree I wish I had this choice when I started 4yrs ago. Great vid as usual SMB thanks!
Great video, and I love this ship! With the Quantum fuel capacity of 6K QFU's, I found that I can slap a VK-00 on it, and make the Microtech-to-ArcCorp run at 6 minutes. Coupled with a near-instant reclaim time, this is turning into the perfect daily driver.
but isn't the Vk a very small Q-tank? surely you get fast, but depleted
Drake ships have that scavenger feel to them. The pilot/crew just found a wreck and patched it up where it actually functions but that's it, they didn't care for beauty and just need the thing to move and that's it. I love that vibe (also functions really well for a pirate-y vibe
To me drake seems like the cost-efficient brand of ships since they don't care much for exposed bits and bobs or smooth, perfect edges. The budget space-farer, so to speak.
Putting aside its design and gold standard advantages, i really fell for the sounds and that light flickering.
I already liked the feeling of being in a ship that has been hard at work in the Cat but the designers brought this atmosphere out even more with this little can and the Corsair. It took me about 5 minutes of just listening to things opening and closing not too smoothly before my first liftoff
I love this ship. I also have a Nomad and an MSR but I really can't help but just load up in this and just feel like someone just trying to eek a living out in the Stanton universe.
Thank you for the nice deep dive and crawl through the ship. I did this a few days ago and the Cutter is really a cool little Space Camper.
I like the cinematic stuff, and the focus on the audio. Cool episode.
ROC works just fine in the Cutter, which is now my favorite ship and it's not even close. Just keep the door open and pretend it's a Nomad!
This really is a tempting ship to get. It has everything that you could want in a starter and then some.
It doesn't feel like a starter ship. Super fun to fly around and has a really low signature so I can see this being used to sneak in snipers to jt
@@BillyFrench Lol, with those guns it feels like a starter imo. I love it though, all the same.
That side-shot in the thumbnail had me over here thinking this was an ad for the RV of the future
This is going to be THE starter ship for pyro with the size of its quantum fuel tanks. I was able to fly across Stanton with a VK-00 drive and still be under a quarter fuel used
I absolutely love my collection of "daily drivers" and as soon as I saw the cutter I knew I had to have it
These new ships look incredibly tangeable to me. You just wanna touch and feel along the surface of the metal. Beautiful.
If the Cutter ever gets a wood panel and white scheme, so it looks like a flying Winnebago, I'm all in!
This turned out to be cooler than the Corsair IMO. Combat Shmom-bat. Who needs gun?
Cool looking design. The capacity to haul small vehicles is a huge bonus. This is going to be a great option for the cheaper starter packs.
If I did my job in star citizen (plumber), I would definitely fly this at work
Heh, its two bath tubs and two trash cans welded together, with a typo for quantum fuel amount for sure (one extra digit was added there by an intern or something), but it really is one of the best starter ships assuming one does not want to do combat.
"It sounds like its gonna break any minute.. I love it"
finally a video about the Cutter that shows it with its original colours!
that bottom right spot in the back looks like u could secure a package for a delivery mission in it and lock it down,, think i might pick up cutter just to see . hate that roc wont fit that would be perfect to low sig to keep ppl from seeing you compared to cutlass while mining
All it lacks is a window in the living space :D
Rain..... that rain sound..... so sleepy now.... But, you have that Jax sound like this is an insert behind the scenes Jax video after he stole the Cutter from Bob. hahaha
oh gawd... i am dying here. Best SC video I've seen in months.
This is going to be a good ship to explore Pyro when it arrives with the massive QT tanks it has.
I bought it and no regrets. It has everything and the best part is the quantum fuel. I expect a nerf put if it even kept 1/4 the fuel its still pretty op.
they added an extra zero by mistake, it will be cut down to 600.
wish this ship was 12" wider.......love flying it, but all my ground buggies just barely don't really fit.....such a shame, was soooo close.
I do love my little Space RV
Drake is just so Minmatar. I love it.
Do you use head/eye tracking for 3thd camera controls ? It’s really smooth.
Thing sounds like it's going to fall apart when boosting!
love it
Got mine and i'm loving it
The hoverquad fits, tested it meself!
All these shallow bowl toilets...guess the designers have never considered the very real possibility of serious splash back. Maybe there's a one way poop shield to prevent it?
LOL I go ROC mining with my Cutter all the time! If it sits, it fits XD
uSCU is currently messed up on the small side. Not good for raiding bunkers at the moment. Report is up on Issue Council.
i love this ship... dont like the 650k storage for local.. but i love the 650k external storage! makes for easy transfering goods to friends... i put the pvt in the back and do the drug bunker missions makes nice for parking at a distance and avoiding turrets. my new fav ship tbh and i own every ship in the game minus a few pledge ships :P
Great video, lovely little flying can xD
Can you please tell me how your external camera is moving so freely? Is there some magic setting I'm not aware of?
Why are the colors so blown out?
After the IAE is done wouldn’t it be nice to make an updated best ships in star citizen so far with the new ships included ?
Hi Mac! Love your videos!

I just love having 6k QT fuel to be able to get a ship that moves fast, and that I don't have to worry about its fuel tank.
Not a Drake fan, but as many this has become my daily driver 😆
how you add Bokeh effects to the game? Using Reshade or something?
Drake is the home feel. I don't want a coldly lit bright white ship, industrial ship, or business trip / social gathering ship for a homie feel.
Hey Boss, in a perfect world would you go with this ship, avenger titan or nomad ?
Avenger Titan is probably the best tier 2 starter ship, but comparing the cutter between the available tier 1 ships, this is the best imo.
Hold on a minute...I've been following you for a long time.... what graphics card have you upgraded to? The quality is 💯!!!
On begin: I hate Drake ships, it's 30th century and we have "new" ships made by duct tape :D But I was forced to break this video in middle and see it again by self.

The ROC will fit in the back of the cutter you just can't close the the cargo door
*twitch link not working. Have added you to Prime previously but no joy
how do you use the weapon rack?
Hold gun in your hanx then point at the rack and press F. It should then give you the option to 'place' the gun in the rack.
@@RobinHartJones hey, saw it later in the video and forgot to delete the post, but thanks for helping! ^^
It is a good ship, you can put a STV in there, just be sure to back it in.
It's got so much Q fuel. Put that Civ A drive the Alpha or something on it and it's going to go forever at a decent speed. Put a industrial one on and a willingness to take the time and you'll never refuel that sucker.

That just isn't realistic when people will be flying around in Indris'
@@QuotidianStupidity it's very realistic and that's SC plans. That's what sets Star Citizen apart from every other game.
kinda weird the no sound thing for first 10 seconds.
Yeah not sure why that’s happened. I had to re export it as the first export was missing in game sounds for around 10 mins 🤷♂️
What I like about it is that the retro thrusters are very powerful so you can fly almost all the way at full thrust then only chop the engine at the last moment. NOTE: don't try that if you are in VTOL mode as that swivels the retro thrusters upwards 😏
Maybe it's not so much they are powerful as they simply aren't tossing a a lot of weight around to begin with.
For me the undisputed queen...should they think of the Cutter2 with the most Cargo, usc that would be excellent!!!
I really dislike having the lock only usable from one side... You can easily lock yourself out of the toilet... And less easily lock yourself out of the cockpit... Quite a good way to troll people that leave their ships open.
I bought one, I really love this little ugly duckling :)
it's the cheapest ship you can use to mine with a ROC . And the fastest to travel around with this huge quantum tank and a VK-00 .

4 scu or cargo for a starter. Respectable.
has a bed. respect
has vtol, noice
lots of new flight assists buttons. Really good
and 6k qt tank. i'm sold, what more is there to ask
"Can it come with guns and not pea shooters?!"
It would definitely be OP if it had anything decent there tbh
@@QuotidianStupidity best ir can come with is fully mounted size 2’s instead of gimbal size 1’s
Gib mistwalker paint.
Drake cutter good with everything except combat (and not really good, will cargo haul better than every starter and avenger but cargo hauling with anything that doesn't have hundreds of scu only counts as RP)
Its the best starter ship by a mile IMO.
It's so 'bugly' (beautiful and ugly!)
Design would be much better if they removed turret and made head bulkier, added 4 more rockets instead of that useless turret in front and two beds for 2 crew members would be cherry on top
Bugly. Yes, I was saying cute and ugly or ugly and cute. Bugly works.
What the hell is that thing 🙂 i like it.
The Drake Cutter, new starter ship. Its a pretty sweet little ship. I love mine.
Top Tip, Mac: turn on mouse smoothing and lower the mouse speed. Ship tours for us TH-cam viewers are a different animal entirely from you playing in-game 😎 Get's a bit janky, kind of thing. All the best :) Edit, not for flying obvs

People...
The quantum fuel WILL GET NERFED.
PLEASE REMEMBER WHO MAKES THIS!!!
Not enough room for an ROC !!! What an oversight. Only 4 SCU cargo.... not my idea of a 'great' or 'the best' starter ship. Love the general level of polish on all the new ships but, for me, the Cutter is next to useless.
All the level one starter ships only carry 3 or 4 SCU.
And none of them carry the ROC besides the nomad, which at the price it’s hard to call a “starter”
Yeah, the Nomad prices itself out. Might as well add a little bit and get the cutty black then.
Well in fact you can use it to transport a ROC ( regular, not the DS ) . You can park it inside the cutter( normal, not in reverse ) , exit and drive the cutter around . You can't close the ramp, but the roc won't fall ( for now at least ) . You can't quantum drive ( well in theory you can, but it's clipping a lot, so explosion may happens ) , but usually when you mine with a ROC you go to the planet, then claim the ROC from a bay, so not really an issue there . Granted, it's simpler to do it with a ship made for it ( nomad , cutlass, freelancer max, etc ... ) , but it's not really hard to do .
Hahaha and spending millions of dollars on creating toilets on board spaceships - so who's actually going to take a digital dump while playing this pre-alpha version of a non game?
So much wasted space, just open empty room, wish it was more cramped like the Herald, that feels like a true Drake ship, space = luxery.
Matter of opinion. Definitely not the "best" though. Pretty cool.
The ship is 3 slow doors and a slow af pilot seat animation, looks great but wtf.
such a waste of internal space. when the hull A has a better interior thats just sad
