I've been wanting to get some use out of the Zeus suits, and I figured out the perfect use for them as the suits of choice for a new, entry-level Cult Courier Spec. Package deliveries are the most basic of all Star Citizen professions, and these suits have the bonus of being available only on the Subscribers Store, which means that you can buy one with cash, use it and lose it, then melt it and rebuy it with store credit without having to spend any aUEC. Perfect for beginners now that armors have been made very expensive, since the only thing they will lose on death are their weapons, and medpens or whatever.
There won't be strategic ranks for these, only Inquisitors, Master Chiefs, and Captains. Commanders don't do deliveries (though every Javelin owner's dream is to some day deliver pizza in his Javelin, and we will do this the moment the ship goes in the game).
The specs are identical to the picture below, with one change: the Captain's Cutter isn't yellow, it's white (Wind Chill paint). I will take my own pictures at some point that will be fully representative, with the Mules included, but for now we'll use the one I found on Reddit and linked in the Cutter thread [ > ] (and which inspired me to make the spec).
The Captain's Mule's paint, Smokestack, is temporary until the white Silverback paint (which is included in the game files but hasn't been released yet) goes on sale.
Unfortunately, many of these Cutter and Mule paints are Concierge-only, and of course all three suits are Subscribers-only, so get someone to buy you what you need if you aren't in these groups. You only need to buy a paint once and you're good, and they cost pennies. As for the suits, the melting and rebuying hack is only available to subbers at the moment, but soon enough unique item recovery will be added to the game and you'll be able to recover items in-game with aUEC.
Can you deliver packages as Contractor without having to bother with the entry-level Courier Spec? Sure. Cult Lore-wise the Couriers are how new industrial recruits get their foot in the door with The Cult, and then they get promoted to full Contractors who can also do deliveries. So you can skip this spec entirely if you want. I just made it because I want to use the Zeus suits and color-coordinate them with the cool Cutter/Mule combo.
Can you use different vehicles as a Courier instead of the Cutter/Mule combo? I'd rather you just went with a generic Contractor in that case. So if you gear up as a Courier, use the designated vehicles. That said, as the deliveries increase in difficulty, stronger vehicles might be needed, and if I find that to be the case (or if players tell me so), I will add them to the Courier Spec.
Try not to mix Couriers with generic Contractors. If a Courier needs help for a mission, or if you just want to team up, gear up as Courier too.
CULT COURIER
Role: Cult Couriers deliver packages from one place or person to another place or person, typically providing their courier service on a commercial contract basis. Cult Couriers are distinguished from ordinary mail services by features such as speed, security, tracking, signature, specialization and individualization of express services, and swift delivery times, which are optional for most everyday mail services. As a premium service, Cult Couriers are usually more expensive than standard mail services, and their use is normally limited to packages where one or more of these features are considered important enough to warrant the cost.
Cult Couriers operate on all scales, from within specific towns or cities, to regional, global and even interstellar services.
Requirements: Must take pride in the trust our clients place in you, and must be dedicated to vindicating this trust by carrying out your deliveries in an exemplary manner.
Training: logistics/management games.
