Drake Interplanetary Cutlass Steel ship overview

The Drake Cutlass Steel is a troop transport model in the Cutlass series with an additional remote turret, more missiles, and 5 door-mounted Gatling guns. With 18 jump seats for armed and armored passengers, the Cutlass Steel is designed to rapidly insert troops into an area while providing fire support for them.

Key features

• Dropship: The ship has eighteen dedicated jump seats in addition to the six already present on the Cutlass Black model, along with 5 door-mounted Gatling guns*
• Remote Turret: The Cutlass Steel features an added remote turret controlling two size 2 guns, that can be accessed by the co-pilot
• Crew Area: Despite Drake's reputation of providing only the essentials, the Cutlass still has a spacious crew area which includes a pair of beds, a small kitchenette, two 1500k uSCU storage lockers, and four fully functional gun racks
• Easy Access: Apart from its rear ramp, the ship also has a pair of large side doors, ideal for when you need to EVA to recover cargo, salvaging, or for rescue operations
• Weapons: Being in the depths of space can leave you vulnerable to attacks from other ships. With four pilot-controlled size 3 gun hard-points, a manned turret which can hold a pair of size 3 guns, and racks that can hold eight size 3 and eight size 2 missiles, Drake Interplanetary has you covered
