You said that the Cutlass is the second most played ship, but then say that it is one of the toughest ships.. the two are not hand in hand. Just because people use it doesnt make it the toughest. The Cutlass is one of the weakest hulls in the game, this is even compared to fighters well below its size. Here are the 10 weakest ships by hit points, disregarding ground vehicles or snub fighters. 85x -2400 M50- 2431 Razor- 2900 350r- 3050 Herald - 3380 Buccaneer- 3400 Cutlass - 3880 Aurora - 3990 Arrow - 4180 Reliant - 4740 Notice the Cutlass is the only "medium" sized ship that is on that list. And of those 10 ships, 3 are Drake ships. 4 of the 10 are "racing" ships... which is fine. So we have an issue when the Cutlass has 1/5th the HP of the Freelancer its direct competitor. And the fact it is slower than a Terrapin which is about the same size, and yet the Terrapin is faster, AND way tougher... but that is a military ship. And it is even weaker than the Reliant line of ships, and that is saying something.
