The Cutlass version that you are thinking of for Bounty hunting is the Cutlass Blue which should be on sale this next Friday. (as best as I can guess)

Uh-oh...
Maybe my life of crime, another flea on the underbelly of the galaxy, maybe it wasn't well thought out. This gundam codpiece pixel boat may have just made me turn over a new leaf.
If I'm not smeared into the side of your hull, your license and registration better be up to scrutiny!

No worries @Beerjerker , if my stats aren't up to passing scrutiny, I'll happily bribe you with a container of my smuggled space beer.

You have a nice day as well Sheriff @Beerjerker & please do enjoy my little contribution to your campaign fund that I've placed in the concealed storage space of your ship.

I could be wrong, but I remember reading that yes you are correct, the Blue is definitely "the" Bounty Hunter ship. The blue would be a better suited, better shielded and far more capable as a dedicated bounty hunter overall ship role, and that it would also hold the most prisoners, though they mentioned that the Blue and Red will not be modular like the Black and cannot be stripped down to a blank ship template the way the Black can and have your Black be re-fitted for other roles like BH.
If I am remembering correctly, I believe one of the devs said in an interview that there are discussions to implement various module types for the Cutlass Black, seeing as the Cutlass Black is the "empty hull" template so to speak for the Cutlass hulls, same as the Tali Base is the blank hull to the Bomber. The Black also makes sense as a BH ship, with low signature engines, side doors etc, she is supposed to fly fairly stealthy and off the radar and allow for fast, easy boarding of other ships. The Blue I do not think will be nearly as stealthy in sneaking up on it's contracts but will have better scanner capabilities as well more prisoner cells, and better overall ship combat survivability due to advanced shields etc.
If this is the case, the Cutlass Black bounty hunter module will alow you to run BH missions, but not nearly as effectively as if you were in a Cutlass Blue (or now an Hawk I suppose) but would still make a more than capable Bounty Hunter ship for those that want to own a multi-role ship.
My hopes are that the Cutlass Black will be usable for BH, but if I am wrong and there will never be a BH module for the 'Black then that's cool, I'm happy to be a dropship / cargo-runner / support / dragonfly or nox carrier / Alcohol/Beer runner or whatever role is needed for the Org
...wonder how many cases of beer a Black can hold
Well this begs a question - Are those who have a Bounty Hunter pack with the 300i going to have the option to upgrade to this specific role ship? Will they be upgraded automatically?
As the 300i has been officially declared unfit for the role of Bounty Hunter (CIG staff have said this on Spectrum) and those who bought the bounty hunter pack most likely for bounty hunting, it seems the logical step.

Given that they are redesigning the 300 series like they did with the Auroras slightly, the Cutlasses & the Mustangs, they may end up adding new features to the redesigned ships.

Ship looks awesome, and so is the price point.
Hate to be that guy sitting at the ass end and facing a wall.

I picked it up immediately after seeing the price. I have little regret, seeing as I'm used to flying a lesser armed fragile ship, I think I can adapt to this one quite nicely.
Plus since its so small, we could load more into carriers than standard ships, plus the wings folding to store it just fits with all navy aircraft on carriers.

I melted my Gladius for it. 3.0 atmospheric flight is real and this thing is going to be a monster just by its shapes and light size picking apart heavy hornets in atmo. Small fast and I know people are ripping apart the weapons but do you really need those big of a weapons when you have an EMP to disable someones ship? While they struggle to get power back on you're surgically picking apart their engines and weapons.
An EMP to a flying ship in atmosphere, turns the flying ship into a falling brick with only slight control.

Any word on CIG what the gun count is on this bad boy? I see on the model it shows 6 (2 above the wings, 2 below wings, and 2 in the chin) but the stats page/brochure it says 4.
