    Hey, this one needed a bit more research. Like other people mentioned the QSD device is to snare people so they can not QT away from you which is huge for pvp just the problem is its short range like 2km. The most important feature though beside the nice guns and the huge missile payload (that can shoot 4 at a time, huge plus) is its SCM speed which is about 200 and the almost infinite boost that makes it maybe the fastest medium sized and components ship that can keep up with everything you want. That is why the price is trying to reflect its superior capabilities. I have met many criminals with Blues with 4 Mantis guns and spamming you with clusters of 4 S1 (from the 48 it has) missiles and its a force to be respected.

    Thank you! I'd check out Subs videos for those, they're really helpful and I often use them when I'm playing with loadouts. For the most part, I only really change out the weapons (I prefer fixed weapons, and ballistic repeaters), and the quantum drive (I got better things to do than stare at space!). Largely, for most ships, the other components are just fine tuning and don't make a material difference.

    I'm surprised that you didn't mention that Blue is actually a VERY fast ship. SCM is not it's only feature. It's forward acceleration is amazing and allows it to reach max speed in a few seconds. Max speed itself is also notable, many light fighters just won't be able to quit your fire range by straight runaway tactic. By comparison with light fighters this ship is sluggish in maneuvers, but when it comes to actually interdicting running targets a.k.a. "drag racing in space", you wouldn't find anything better of it's size except Crusader Starrunner. Blue is actually a perfect choice for BHG pilots since you can go hit&run tactics: follow your prey, hoard it with rockets, add some gunfire, blow it up and just push pedal to the metal. Reach max speed and just QT out. Your target is eliminated, you don't need to stay and fight the whole crowd. You're not a soldier or militia, your job is to get 1 exact target. If they have Mantis and it keeps you anchored - no problem. Run away at max acceleration up to top speed, turn around and just shoot anything that try to chase you while hardening front shield. Not many ships will be able to get you. Most bad-ass well-armed-and-armored ships cannot reach you due to low speed. Those ships who can are too lightweight and cannot withstand direct firefight (like Mantis, Arrow etc.) Their maneuverability won't help them, since even little maneuver with drastically drop distance between you. The only issue this ship have for a solid bounty hunter is it's EM/IR visibility. You can't come close to your target unnoticed thx to S2 powerplant and shield. But not only they makes your presence obvious to your prey. Those beautiful, fast&furious main thrusters are insane source of IR. You may check the difference with Black version: strip ALL components from them and see how much difference to IR those thrusters are making. I did bounty hunting on many ships, I tried almost all of them that have at least some sense to use (best fun you can get by using counter-piracy covert operations on Caterpillar, but pirates soon learned that trick and don't get fooled again). I tried a lot... but Blue is still the best choice. It is good for solo and amazingly fit in any hunting party, allowing to close any gaps due to its versatility. Best use in a group of 3+ ships by combining Blue with stealth-build Sabers. Some people say Mantis is better for QD anchoring, but Mantis is too fragile and can't stand too long under concentrated fire. Mantis is good for piracy, since it can kick targets off QT and haulers can't get cautious Mantis pilot. But against well-armed pirates it is useless, so I prefer Blue. I think that for a dedicated Bounty Hunters Guild pilot this ship's cost worth every single penny. But if you're new to Star Citizen, even with good bounty hunting background from other games, don't rush to buy it. Check BH gameplay on cheaper ships, see how it works, play solo and in hunting parties, die hard and only then you might realize how much of a gem Blue is.

    One bonus the Blue has over the other Cutlasses is a better view with that bubble cockpit glass. Of the three Cutlasses, however, you're correct in that the Blue is the most limited, functionally. The Black has the cargo space, and the Red has the med-beds for respawning -- as well as being the only Cutlass with lavatory facilities.

    It has more Hull HP, more shields, more missiles, it's actually faster and it has the QED if compared to the Cutlass Black. So yeah I would say that it's straight up a better version with the only downfall of having less cargo storage but honestly 12 SCUs is not bad at all but obviously you lose the ability to transport a ROC, but that's totally not the goal of this ship anyway. Ah and I almost forgot the docking collars/airlocks adds a bit more versatility too.

    I own a Blue, and it looks great, but you made a great point. There's no real reason to choose it over the Black. One thing you didn't point out about the QED, its range is only 1km, which is nothing. Less storage, low scm speed, obscured frontal view, and impractical live bounty space (I highly doubt I'm going to drag VIP targets through a whole station to bring them aboard) make it underperforming and underwhelming.

    Correction here. The QED on the blue only has the dampener, meaning preventing you from engaging. It does *not* have the snare. The mantis is the only ship I the game with a snare, though it does also have a dampener. Secondly, the blue doesn't just have the QED over the black. You trade your cargo for considerable armouring.

Right now the black has 10% armor and the blue 12%, but these are of course temporary numbers. Last thought about the blue is I envision it more as an armored prisoner transport, even if cif says it's for bounty hunting. No bounty hunter is gonna wait till they have 12 guys to turn them into prison. But if I am a warden at klescher and I need a few prisoners transported to another system, no point calling the caterpillar for just a dozen prisoners, I'll hire the guy with the blue.

    This cannopy is also the best one for me. I did buy a blue because I hope in the future they bring modularity to the game, if I can change a prision cells area for a medical one I will be very happy. My guessing because of prices is: Black: no modular options. Red: Medical area or Cargo area. Blue (the most expensive one): the three options. But it is a blind shot. Best regards.

    The Blue was on sale during the last Expo in November. It will likely be on sale in the end of May during fleet week on Drake's show day. Show ships are usually rentable for free to test drive before you buy as well. I tried the blue at the 2950 expo event last November. It's a slower, tougher RSI Mantis with a token amount of cargo. Most of its interior space is wasted right now. Unless ship interdiction is a major gameplay role to you the Cutty Black or Red are better values for real cash.

    Nice video with good points. I do take exception with labeling anyone wanting to use QED is a "griefer". Simply wanting to PvP, and even force a PvP encounter, doesn't make you a "griefer"; just a PvP'er. A true "griefer" is someone who ruins the game for someone else by constantly and consistently going out of their way to badger, berate, belittle, and abuse game mechanics to the extent the game becomes completely unplayable for a player victim.

Just bc ur or the majority enjoy pve does not mean that pvpers are automatically greifers and the scum of the earth. That's simply a biased perspective. A good example of greifing would be like putting a box next to a bed that causes ppl spawning there to be stuck forever. Utilizing bugs, glitches, or in someway turning what's supposed to be safe zones into death traps. Are all great examples of greifing.

    It entirely depends on which one and if you're thinking 'current state' or what it's supposed to be like on release. in current terms: Cutlass black: yes.(versatility now and in-future) Cutlass Red, yes (for ability to respawn aboard if killed on the ground bow. Medical play in future) Cutlass Blue, maybe (depends on if hassling others is your idea of fun. Bringing in live bounties in-future.)

    Maybe... So firstly I'd say, if you're happy with the game and don't want to pay any more, don't feel like you have to - Avenger Titan is really solid to unlock this stuff on launch. But the Cutlass is even more versatile, so you can probably use it to do even more. Moreover, I think it's likely to always stay fairly relevant - in all of the previous patches, it's been consistently fairly good. But that's just my opinion :)
