I know I hate getting slammed up against the side of the mail slot as a cutter comes through giving no f*cks. Too big IMO.

What kind of ship were you using?

Well, the rule of thumb is that bigger ships have the right of way, since it is harder for them to move out of the way in time. So, presuming you weren't also in a massive ship (such as the type 9, corvette, anaconda, etc), it is better for you to let them through first.

Usually can get out of the way if I'm not flying my Anaconda it's when you have committed and they suddenly appear in front of you normally.

Are you not using your radar? That's what it's there for.

Yes.  And announcing leaving station.

Seems some cutter pilots don't care.

Sounds like there is only one solution: take out your frustrations on cutters with extreme prejudice. I do with Asps and it's quite a liberating experience.

I wish I could play Anaconda tennis with them like I do with adders that get in my way but as I said they are too big.

Situational awareness. Just saying. As someone who loves the big ships, I speak from experience. Not having it is expensive.

I have cleared the Cutter past a Type-9 in the slot, Dodging the cutter up and over the '9.
There's more room if you relax and let things get close.

That's not to say I could do it twice in a row,

Cutter and T-10 are too plain obese for me. I prefer more nimble things.

Now, if you'd told me the coming Panther Clipper would be even bigger and couldn't get into the Stations but had to land somewhere on the outer hull I'd be fine with that.

Yes. There's plenty of room if you just relax and let the Cutter do it's thing. Lube helps.

I know there's growing chatter about the Panther Clipper, but has there been any real confirmation they're even working on it? I don't think I've even seen any GalNet stories or CGs pointing that direction.

Believe Sandro said it's done and can be implemented anytime, they just don't know what to do with it. Which is hilarious to me. Let the players figure it out.
