    Great video, as always! Appreciate the effort to get the Nova in there, gave me a laugh haha! This was the first ship I ever flew, back when I knew absolutely nothing about components, s3 guns, shield recharge... Had a chance to fly again during this free-fly, and I was surprised how agile it actually feels compared to my memory. The gun loadout is pretty brutal, with good convergence. The missiles and turret really make this a good combat ship I think, and the side-bay doors, cargo space and ramp do make quick drop/load things like Xenothreat and Jumptown pretty good. Also, I do appreciate a ship with actual VTOL, it does make landing/take off a lot easier, and can even be used in combat for some slightly irregular maneuvers. Don't think I'll get another Black, but one or two of the other variants could be fun still.

    I'm glad it gave you a chuckle! Knowing that there are folks out there that appreciate the cheesy humor makes it worth it :D And yeah I think this is a totally respectable ship and definitely worth getting as an early ship to cover your bases for a lot of different things. And despite having a lot of ships available to me at this point, I was using the Cutlass for the cargo phase of XT because it was just a lot more convenient to pull alongside the starfarer wrecks vs pretty much every other ship that needs to back up to the wreck (except for a couple of giant beasts like constellations or the hercules, which have their own issues). And yeah right now I think the Cutlass Red is the only "affordable" medical vessel in the game, since the only other ships with medical capabilities are like 10x the cost or more.

    Really informative and excellent commentary on the Cutty. I'm just finishing work then can start my SC career. I had bought a Nomad as my starter. Being obstinate I didn't want to follow the Cutty crowd.... But the more I thought about it I felt the Nomad would become a dead end whereas the Cutty would always offer a viable choice. So I exchanged and feel relief at a good choice. Glad I got the Nomad on a warbond as I saved a bit of cash. Watching reviews like this reinforces my decision. I'd gone through a bunch of other bids but this stands out as one of the best.

    Thank you! And yeah that's a good point - I actually considered doing EM and IR missiles actually. My thinking is if my distortion has shut down the enemy I'd rather save my missiles for shooting at a target that's actively fighting back. When the enemy isn't fighting back I'm happy to just kill it with my lasers. But now I'm curious... have you ever had a missile miss while an enemy is shut down? Edit: Forgot to mention the reason I considered IR is because I've had some issues with CS missiles where sometimes I get the full circle around an enemy but it's red... and I'm not exactly sure why. I think it has to do with the CS of the enemy ship vs the "noise" in the space that we're fighting in.

    Hi. Excellent review. The pitching down of the Cutty when travelling at speed in atmo is frustrating when scanning for mineables (ROC loaded in the hold). I've kissed the ground on Ariel during a dust storm more times than I'd care to admit.🤣 The ability to apply trim the pitch axis to counter the tendency of the Cutty to nose dive, particularly for different atmospheric conditions, seems a no brainer. Of all the ship I have flown in SC, the Cutty Black is my favourite.

    Thanks so much for the kind words and for checking it out! Yeah I was running cargo in Xenothreat and I was very disappointed to learn that the cutty pitches down even in space when traveling above SCM speed... it was an annoying flight slowboating back the yellow boxes lol. I personally don't know if I want to trim the pitch of my ship in star citizen. I play flight simulator as well and I enjoy that capability there but that's because it's a simulator. Starcitizen isn't that and given that I'm flying a literal space ship that can quantum travel through bajillions of kilometers in seconds, I think the ship should be able to figure out how to keep level altitude for me without me having to manually set it!

The main issue I have with it is the fragility, but its maneuvering and firepower is pretty respectable for a ship this size. If you are starting out and haven't had a chance to earn dedicated fighter ships in-game yet this is a totally capable workhorse that can fill multiple roles until you get your specialized ships that can do individual things better

    @@charlesquintanilla1045 I haven't flown the blue so I don't know from experience but according to erkul (which reads directly from game files for most of its information) the Blue has about 20% higher SCM speed (which is a lot!) and a good deal higher top speed as well. It's also a bit lighter which means it'll be a bit faster in turning and changing direction since they have the same exact thruster output. Despite their offensive and defensive capabilities being the same on paper, this extra agility and maneuvering should make it more able to line up targets to apply damage and evade damage. Unfortunately it probably doesn't change the achilles heel of the cutlass in combat - the fragility of the weapon pylons and thrusters. Since you don't need the quantum dampener for NPC bounties I don't find the ship to be worth its (quite high) cost but maybe once more bounty hunting systems are in, the cutlass blue's capability to take live prisoners will be a game changer for it.

    Awesome review and demonstration and discussion of the Cutty. And thanks for using erkul rather than just state your loadout and reasons. (Would be nice if there were descriptions for the column headers.) Regarding cannons vs repeaters, I ran 4 cannons on a Mustang Alpha and they seem to overheat quicker than with repeaters. Maybe just a perception thing since for the same firing period (say, 1 sec) the amount of heat is the same (per erkul).

  • @WingZeroType

    @WingZeroType

    2 жыл бұрын

    thanks for the kind feedback! Could you help me understand what you mean by the descriptions for the column headers? Do you mean in the excel sheet where I link the loadouts? I have the headers there but I'm not exactly sure what kind of description you think would be helpful - but I'm sure if you're thinking it others probably could benefit from it as well so I'd like to know what you mean. And as for why cannons overheat and repeaters don't, there is an issue with size 1 weapons where the amount of cooling that goes to the hardpoints typically isn't enough to cool the weapon enough. You can see even repeaters will have some heat buildup while firing but not enough to accumulate during the ammo-recharge phase. However, since cannons can fire about 2x as long as repeaters before having to recharge, much more heat builds up and not all of it is dissipated while the ammo recharge so that if you keep firing as soon as your ammo recharges you will eventually overheat. The same issue happens with s1 distortion repeaters. It's just one thing to keep in mind anytime you have a cannon fit with s1 cannons - you'll have more theoretical dps but you may need to eventually manage heat as well as the lower range and projectile speed.

    I personally love the sentinel and it was hands down the best bounty hunting ship in the game in 3.16. Last week we got the 3.17 patch which has drastically increased the difficulty of bounty hunting by dramatically increased how accurate and dangerous the AI are, and I haven't had a lot of time to spend with these ships since that patch dropped. Both the vanguards and the cutty have size 2 shields which were changed to have two shield faces (back and front) instead of 1. Unfortunately what this means is that if you're just taking fire from the front, they only have to chew through half as much shield since half of your shield is dedicated to protect only the back. Just somethings to be aware of as you get back into it. We might not be able to tackle the same level of difficulty as we were able to before... and I think that's ok if they make the AI more engaging to fight. I hope they adjust payouts a bit to help account for the increased difficulty and the likeliness of higher repair bills and higher repair frequency.

    Thanks so much for the compliment! Personally... I'm not a fan of the blade because I *hate* mixing weapons with different projectile velocity on my ship, since you need to lead your aiming different amounts for the different weapon systems. So when flying the blade what I'd most likely end up doing is turning off all of the Warlords (which are basically slow-firing laser cannons) and sticking with the Wasps (which are basically laser repeaters). But then either way you're limiting your burst dps a lot. If you're a pilot who's able to manage the different projectile velocities of the laser cannons and repeaters and use them both simultaneously you can get a lot of dps out of the Blade because it's well-equipped for its size and agility level, but I don't possess the skill required to do that, and when I attempted it a few times it was not a fun experience for me so I avoided it lol. Which is too bad, because as a Battlestar Galactica fan it looks AWESOME

The size 2 CF-series Badgers have lower weapon spread than the NDBs or Attritions, so technically they're more accurate. But yeah in most cases you can just use whatever repeaters you already have, or like you said use the sweet sweet blue rounds from the NDBs. Since distortion has made a comback right now you could also choose to go NDBs just to match all your laser colors, but I kind of like having different colors for the light show lol.

I don't remember what those settings used to be but I'll say that I tried to keep the mouse movement as close to my desktop settings as possible. I've never been a particularly good FPS player so I'm not too precise about that stuff, and especially with the way kb/m flight goes (with it's "bungee" effect for pitch and yaw) I think you would rather it just be as close to your muscle memory as possible rather than striving for some sort of FPS-esque precision, since you're not going to be moving your ship's nose to a point via mouse movement (like you do in FPS shooters), but rather you're changing the rate at which the ship's nose moves over to a point.

    Hey, so personally I would probably go all laser repeater in 3.17 and not bother with the last distortion repeater, but I'm still testing. Distortion does still have an effect so it can still be helpful but since the cutlass has SO MANY missiles you could just try to burst the enemy down with an opening volley of missiles + pure laser repeater and so far that's what I'm leaning towards. The other thing is instead of going all size 1 pioneers i'd probably use size 2 dominators. The pioneer missile (and most size 1 missiles, in fact) were heavily nerfed - by about 60% damage! So now the size 2 dominators let you carry more missile payload than having size 1s (except for the IR-tracking vanduul "Arrow I' missile but I'm still not sure those hit consistently enough to make them worth using).

    Thanks for sharing your loadouts! this game is SUCH a blast with a good buddy. I also did kb/m for a long time because I didn't have decent flight sticks but I finally took the plunge almost a year ago with dual sticks and man, do I love it. How are the size 3 missiles working out for you? I've found myself really liking maxing those weapon racks out with size 1 missiles (either the EM-tracking pioneers which seem to seek better or the IR-tracking Arrow Is which do the most damage). I open up spicy fights with a full volley of 4 s1 missiles to help frontload a lot of damage on one of the targets, and sometimes even knock it out completely if all the missiles get lucky hits. Also, a note for your buddy - the attritions and the sucker punches shoot their bullets at different speeds. The attritions are repeaters and their projectiles travel at 1400m/s and the sucker punches are distortion cannons that travel at 700m/s. Unless he doesn't mind having to lead his shots for his different weapons by different amounts, he could make his life easier by either changing his attritions to laser cannons or by changing his sucker punches to XJ3 distortion repeaters.

We did get a few more friends on last night and crewed turrets are just on a whole other level than solo flying. We took both cuttys manned out and fighting ships was just butter we didn't even have to fire the main front guns so I am sure we should be able to handle the tougher missions later on. Love the HOTAS though been pretty easy keeping ships in the right location.

    If you track your targets on the 45 degree angle between your pitch and yaw axes, you turn faster. It's the basic formula for a resultant vector, which is the square root of pitch squared plus yaw squared. So the specs page for the Gladius shows a pitch turn rate of 90 degrees per and an identical yaw rate. Square the two, add them and then square root that, you get 127.3 degrees per second. Those specs are probably a bit out of date. So let's just assume for a second that the pitch turn rate is unchanged and yaw is half. So that gets us a turn rate of 100.62 degrees per second. Any way you slice it, because the relationship is additive, you always turn faster on the 45 degree than on just the pitch. Also, you can use your strafe axes to change your distance to the target without having to take your nose off the target. RL fighter jets have to nose away because they don't strafing thrusters like internet space ships do. So if you're following your target into a turn at the same speed as your target, you can strafe into the turn and that will cut the vector, decreasing your distance. Strafe to the outside of the turn and you extend. Your pip is a great indicator for this. Using a lag pip, strafe to the opposite of your pip to close on the target, and towards the pip to extend distance. So if your pip is trailing below and to the right of the target, strafe up and left to close distance. Opposite to extend. And inverse if you're using lead pip: strafe towards to close and away to extend.

I wouldn't suggest EM missiles, cross-section missiles or IR rattlers seem to perform the best. Also bounties are significantly harder than they used to be, so you will be ok up till HRTs but starting at VHRTs it'll start taking a while longer due to tankier enemies and more incoming dps, potentially forcing you to disengage multiple times to recharge shields.

    Have you flown it in 3.17? I've heard that they've doubled the weapon pylons and engine mount hp so they were pretty dramatically reinforced. The issue now is that they also severely nerfed S2 shields and have drastically increased the enemy's incoming fire through a buff to the AI, so it might not feel like they buffed those ship parts vs before when there was very little incoming damage.

    Thanks! Yeah it's been on my list for some time, and I need to get to it. I'm a little bit afraid given it's lower dps and larger size but hopefully it's agile enough to make a show of it. "Fun" fact about the Nomad - it's actually got less capacitor than all the light fighters! It's got 3500 capacitor whereas all the light fighters have 4500. The only ships with less capacitor are the snub ships like the Merlins and the C8X pisces/expedition. Even all the starters like the 100i, auroras, avengers, etc have 4500 capacitor. So yeah... its a bit lower on the sustained dps but lets see what we can do with it lol. It does have 2 1-shot opportunities against hurricanes with it's 8 S2 missiles so if it lands in a bounty space that's going to be way way too dangerous it can try to skip it by just missiling the target.

    I've been trying the nomad out since it's part of the free fly and I'm really struggling. I don't think I've died with any ship as much as I have with this one in group VHRTs (except maybe the Talon). If there's only one VHRT-level target and a few fighters, it does ok but if there's 2 hurricanes and anything else, the ship just cannot hold its own. Its dps is really low so it can't kill the hurricanes fast enough and its shields go down in a couple seconds. I keep trying to disengage to recharge shields but the hurricanes are just about as fast and they're *almost* as agile as the Nomad as well. So the nomad has roughly equivalent agility, less shields and hull, and a lot less firepower. And if you fight a bit while your shields are down you quickly lose one of your engines and unlike most ships where losing an engine just makes you pull slightly to the side, the nomad behaves like the Talon, harshly jerking to the side. I'm curious if you've experienced any of the same issues. Have you been able to fight multiple hurricanes/valkyries in this? I couldn't even separate the enemies from each other because they stick with you even when you're trying to boost away. I'm going to keep trying to see if I can figure out a strategy that works for this ship but so far it's been a rough start.

The freelancer. although cargo is not really profitable, especially at low SCUs that these ships can manage. ship combat? most likely the cutlass... it's got less shields but the freelancer just struggles to stay on target so much. The cutlass can even fit a ton of missiles so it's not even like the Freelancer MIS has a meaningful advantage of it. The default-gimballed weapons and extra s2 shield of the freelancer just don't do enough to get over the fact that it's completely un-agile. But to live in, the freelancer wins. And for whatever reason, I still like the ship, I just wish that they'd update its agility a bit and then it'd be my preferred ship again.
