The reworked Cutlass may be 'the' long awaited Mercenary-Escort Fighter of choice!
The early days: From nimble, would-be Pirate to Sitting Duck
The evolution of the Cutlass Series has been one accompanied by controversy, to say the least. Initially envisioned as Drake's counterpart to the armed line of freighters of the Constellation class by RSI, it soon became apparent it would be more of an evil twin of the Freelancer.
However nimble for its size, lots of pilots were angered by the overall lacking and rubberbanding performance and flight design shortcommings of this by then still officially advertised as "fighter with a cargo hold". This was mainly due to the fact the ship was handling more akin to a "freighter with some guns attached" to it.
So, basically, the would-be pirate looting craft had become a sitting duck and hardly anywhere near a match to a similarly to-be reworked MISC Freelancer.
Also, had the true identity and role of the Cutlass type of ship been blurred by its variants going very different ways; "Red" as salvage and coast guard craft, "Blue" as heavily armed police variant and "Black" as the piracy edition. At the same time the old design seemed unfit for any of these roles.
Overcoming early design flaws: Meet the new Cutlass
The course of action taken by ship developers to overcome these issues, has been to unify the models of the Red, Black and Blue variants. Both the exterior and interior have by now been entirely redone and consolidated between the variants to allow the now Drake-specific excellent degree of modularity. Weapon slots have similarly been adjusted and buffed.
The ventral docking ring was removed in favour of side cargo doors, to serve for whichever purpose, depending only on the role you will chose for your Cutlass variant. I.e. for loading and unloading loot, cargo, prisoners... or start out on a tour with your space bike.
But most importantly, the entire propulsion system has been adjustment, to the extent this ship series promises to become an agile and fast attack craft with a buffed armor and dedicated, heavier forward armament , now aiding the dorsal turret.
Most interesting for Intercosmic: While the old, glass canon pirate raider was too far from falling under what we would require to perform our activities as Cargo and Security organization - the reworked craft looks the part of what we may well fly to escort our convoys and counter attacking any pirate incusrions - most likely carried out with Cutlasses of their own.
Great - but what does it all mean? After all, Intercosmic is not into Piracy...
Well, this could all mean that the Cutlass may become the defaultTier 3 mercenary craft everyone and their granny will be flying - and enjoying. Lets wait and see. The nimble, glass canon, plunder ship is gone and Intercosmic is looking forward to ...
... exactly...
... the heavier and buffed new Cutlass!

Not spend as much: Hiring qualified cleaners is actually a way with saving money, as they may have skilled people and qualified cleaning devices, which you will otherwise really need to buy so that they can clean the home to important standards. Each day Scheduling: Professional cleaners have got a daily cleaning up schedule this ensures your property is cleaned on a daily basis. This means that there is no time that your chosen home might be left messy because a person cleaner could not report to your workplace, as would be your case if hiring individuals cleaner.
