In this video, the speaker provides a first look at the Drake Cutter Scout variant in Star Citizen. The ship is quite similar to the regular Cutter, with only a few noticeable differences. It has two gimbaled size one weapons on top, a scouting dish that moves when the ship is powered on, and a spoiler at the back.
The most significant change on the interior of the ship is the upgrade to size two components, including a size two cooler and power plant. This suggests that the ship requires more power and cooling. There is also a scanning terminal, although scanning functionality is currently not available in the game. The ship’s personal storage remains the same as the base model.
On the bridge of the ship, there are components and a weapon rack. The only noticeable loss in the Cutter Scout compared to the regular Cutter is two SCU of cargo space. However, the Scout variant offers better scanning capabilities, which may be beneficial in the future. The speaker leans towards recommending the upgrade from the regular Cutter to the Scout variant, especially for those who do not prioritize combat.
Some minor bugs were also mentioned, such as the need to boost to get off a particular landing pad and issues with inventory access in Arena Commander. The speaker concludes that the Drake Cutter Scout is a good starter ship, particularly for players who are not interested in heavy combat. They also mention their hope for a future fighter variant of the ship and invite viewers to share their thoughts on potential future variants.
