JMTolan wrote:The betting theory is a MOLE equivalent to the Vulture's Prospector, which would still make sense for Drake to have. It's a bit weird to only have Drake salvage ships at the normal-use level compared to mining, but OTOH Misc has been heavily favored in mining ships announced since the MOLE, so it's possible they just took the existence of the Reclaimer as a license to not worry about manufacturer diversity right now.


R3d_P3nguin wrote:I agree, but someone mentioned that it's a medium salvage, compared to the small Vulture and large Reclaimer.

shrug I mean, most companies have multiple fighters right?

Marauder is the last named and unreleased Drake ship from the initial crowdfunding!

Garbage people profession!

Life is Feudal sort of had something like this, with the piles of dirt we dug up everywhere and the cart.

Edit: Assuming 3.18 and the Vulture land this year.

Cutter ad from tonight's PTU

New Drake ship. Love how the ad illustrates the cargo refactor. Also, cool-looking ship. I am starting to love Drake.

Hopefully they don't pull a 100i again and make it functionally pointless by pricing it too close to the Titan.

DANGER-RANGER- wrote:It's fine that it is very lightly armed. I have plenty of combat ships and this boi might be my bunker ship instead of C8X pisces if it can hold a small vehicle. Bunkers only require FPS gear as there is no ship to ship combat at them. Hopefully it can hold a 1 or 2 SCU box that I use to hold all my loot. Once it's full I put it all in station inventory for safe keeping. I like to have multiple armor and weapon sets as I die a lot due to desynced NPCs, NPCs shooting through floors, cover and closed doors, and other odd bugs. It helps to have many loadouts so I can just change into new gear and keep going.

CathodeRaySamurai wrote:$50? The price of a Mule? Not a chance :).

$90, give or take $5 is my prediction.


Assa099 wrote:Not even close. Avenger is Armed this is just floating van.


DMurBOOBS-I-Dare-You wrote:More like bigger-than-Pisces-smaller-than-Nomad - but it may be closer to Nomad when we finally see specs.

I would like that it isn't an exact, homogenized option, but rather a "tweener" and unique in that way.

Has serious Herald vibes for me!

Wow the Cutter's official page is lit: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm ... ake-Cutter

Only 40.40 euros Warbond and 45.45 "IAE". I am not sure what the IAE means. Does it mean that this price is only available during the expo? That would suck if so.

Anyway, it's dirt cheap, like a land vehicle. Truly a ship for the people.

Interesting optional paints too. The all-yellow is striking, but overall the factory standard is the best methinks.

The Developer Q&A for the Drake Cutter has been released.

Treat this like "Ask the salesman about the product" before pledging.

The Drake Cutter will always be available in the pledge store as a standalone Ship Pledge, with a real cashmoney asset value of USD 45.

IAE on the pledge refers to a standalone, non-Warbond pledge, which store credit CAN be used on, made during IAE, which comes with IAE complimentary 120-month insurance instead of the usual few months insurance a standalone pledge will normally include.

Drake Cutter Pledge wrote:SPECIAL OFFER
To celebrate the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo, non-Warbond Standalone pledges include special 10-year insurance until November 30.

I think that the Mule goes best with the Cutter and the STV with the Nomad, if we consider both form and function. I have a Mule and an STV but no Cutter or Nomad currently. And now I also want those subscriber store retro spacesuits.
