Cutters

(CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT - DO NOT USE)

Cutters are small independently operating spacecraft designed as space security vessels. They are capable of tackling almost any spacecraft smaller than themselves, and in groups may handle even a cruiser. Fast for their size - they can keep up with frigates - Cutters can also carry two Strike Craft as standard with which to harass or board other vessels as part of the overall security mission. As they are not intended as full-on war vessels, Cutters carry only small turret weapons. However, this is offset by their increased capacity for missiles.
