Ah, good to know! How is the Cutter handling then? I know it's ok-ish with FA off and G5 Dirty Drag Drives, but you need to align shots well, don't you? I can manage with my FdL, not sure how my Cutter would work for me.

(add: I don't have access to the Patreus stuff and wait for PP 2.0 to decide if I should get into it)

The FDL and also Python MK II are ideal for Denton Patreus plasmas. On the Imperial Cutter I use a weapon-oriented energy distributor that has more power. However, the shields no longer reload as quickly. I alternate between flying with FA off and aiming with FA on. With the FA off, the cumbersome imperial cutter can be turned and turned better. The FDL and the Python MK II are simply better. But with six modified Guardian Plasmas, the Imperial Cutter simply does more damage.

braking with cutter can be a nightmare and besides that, it should be ok to use for PP 2.0 purposes. I used mine to farm power weapons/modules in old powerplay

And system colonization. I literally just tuned into the stream when they began talking about it (I think).

Its way too heavy for combat (200 t more than a Corvette), mine handles like a whale, I use her as an armed hauler but I wouldn't take her to a CZ.

She has more base armour and base shield than the Corvette but at the end of the day for my style, it's about time on target and my Corvette is way more maneuverable (40.48/108.42/11.56); in a CZ and doesn't drift much.
The only time I struggle with her is trying to keep the piper on Vulture and Viper Mk IV when they boost in a turn and it doesn't last long, after than, the firepower is what matters.

Other than that, Shield management is important but never a problem, I know people can like the Cutter but they don't suit me, I wouldn't take one in Combat.
Atusia Duval but you need to align shots well, don't you?

That...

It took me time to find the right balance between Shield and Hull tank and maneuverability, I reduced weight as much as I could and stopped when I was happy with Pitch and Yaw rates, Roll is OK.

99.99% sure it will be yet another time and CR/mats sink.

Considering how easy it is to get billions without trying (if it happens to be one of your preferred gameplay loop), maybe a credit sink [aside from fleet carrier] isn’t too terrible.

I have one good idea in mind which would be suitable to this colonizing thing, but I likely wouldn’t do it alone.
