“They market the Cutter Rambler as having extended fuel tanks and the Cutter Scout as being more covert, but none of that is true.”
The speaker begins by expressing their initial enthusiasm for the Drake Cutter spaceship, praising its versatile design and large Quantum fuel tank, which allowed for longer expeditions. However, they argue that the two variants released by CIG (Cloud Imperium Games) since then have not added any new features to the base cutter and, in fact, have removed functionality. The first variant discussed is the Drake Cutter Rambler, advertised as having an even larger extended fuel tank. The speaker conducts a test to compare the fuel tank sizes of the base cutter and the Rambler, and finds that they are actually the same size, debunking the marketing claims. They criticize the Rambler for having a smaller back area, limiting storage for vehicles and essential supplies, while adding useless amenities like seats, a food maker, and an armor rack. The speaker suggests that the Rambler should have had the same amount of space as the base cutter and that a third variant could have been added with specialized functionality, such as stealth abilities or cargo space. The speaker points out that the stats for all three Cutter variants are nearly identical, except for the Cutter Scout having slightly higher DPS due to a different cooler and power plant, which currently have no practical advantage in the game. The speaker concludes by criticizing the decision to release these variants without adding any significant differences and charging a higher price for them, and invites viewers to share their thoughts on the matter.
