What CIG says RSI Ship Matrix
flight-ready Pathfinder Exploration Small
Building on the do-it-all attitude of the original Cutter, the Scout takes its combat and utility abilities further with improved weapons and scanning components. Support a small fleet or go it alone – the Cutter Scout is a versatile starter ship that doesn’t compromise where it counts.
