The Cutter, big drunk ice skater

Begin Log 0602.24Performance review of the Imperial Cutter.
The advantages of the Cutterare obvious with its speed and shielding along with fire power. Although it is not as well balanced as the Corvette, the amount it is able to haul is far greater if you get a smaller Shield generator.
What I really can't get over is how the majority of the time when leaving a station you have to do so very carefully and not rush it. If you are too heavy on the thrusters in one direction it goes into a drift almost like a drunk ice skater. Same goes for when at full speed or boosting to go to top speed. You cannot go in any other direction besides forward easily and if you try, you will drift into the next system.
