Cutlass Red - First Look

[wmk]

* Work in Progress *

In short:

4 bunk beds and 2 med beds
Searchlight on a top turret bound to the pilot gimbal, controllable by the co-pilot too
12 SCU cargo in the small cargo hold next to the rear ramp
A toilet without doors
No top turret guns
No missiles

Overall a very cool ship.
More to come.

A toilet without doors

For that all important dominance asserting power shit, when you gotta let fools know who's boss when you pinch one off.

My first impression on RED is also it's cool... but I can only see a good use of the re-spawn in the RED's med-bay for foot soldiers... or the crew on board it.
Why well if you're in a ship in battle you want to spawn where you can spawn a new ship tot get back in the battle if there is one.
That can't be done in the RED but using it as a search and rescue might be a lot more useful in case the one needed to be rescue need medical care..
Think that's where the RED will shine as search and rescue ship, as re-spawn area it's very limited and serve more use for the crew on board it than any one else.

My Initial thought on it after looking it over was they should made it wider in center part,
but either way it is cool and look great, interior design is okay for what it is and give more than it look at first look.

Would I buy it, no doubt that I rather put the money in the Apollo Medivac that can at least defend it self enough to jump away from any hostile encounter.

CHEERS!

Hmm it's my impression or the red looks more polished then the black?
I don't mean on a model itself but on the paintjob: this looks like a brand new ship with a cool glossy adn shiny paint compared to the Black one that looks like a 10 years old used cars.

Love the Chistmass effect on the flashing light that really make the Bloody Cutty stand out, may be if they ware blue instead of red whould been better, nice addiotn the search light, hope CIG will get it into the Blue one also.

 

[Blind Owl]

Fucking awesome. Cannot wait to see the blue now. Stoked!

BoredGamer have a nice internal video of the new Bloody Cuttlas:

That's the first thing that came to my mind, Mich. Imagine 25-50 troopers preparing for ground ops: all of them mount Valks and fly to the checkpoint on Daymar where they meet with the Cutlass Red and its 2-3 ship escort, which might be regular Cutlasses (read further to understand why) -- all troopers dismount, form a line and set their personal ICU to one of the Red med beds, one by one.

Once the "set-your-damn-ICU phase" is completed, all teams mount their drop ships and move to the area of operation, while the medevac ship leaves the surface with the escort ships and fly to the safe zone.

All troopers killed in action respawn in Red; if there are multiple casualties in a short time, they queue. One of the escort ships transports the fresh meat back to the surface.
Go back in there and fight, trooper!

Exactly.... It's like perfect for ground or boarding OP's

 

[Starscribe]

Looks like the CCU to Cutlass Red is no longer in the store; sensing a cash-only warbond (maybe) version is incoming and they want to max the cash. Again.

Do we know if the med beds in the Red is of the right tier to allow respawning?

 

[Tealwraith]

Do we know if the med beds in the Red is of the right tier to allow respawning?

No, but we know the beds allow respawning. Most likely, you can only respawn in a level 1 bed and when we get the bed tiers, the red will probably be 2x level 3 beds, but the medical mechanics are too new to be that in depth. Tier 0 medical game play implementation, enjoy it while it lasts.

 

[Scape]

Im sold on the flashy lights! Wish i was more of a fan of the cutty itself though, ive never liked it

 

[Cugino83]

In the PTU one of the key feature to test is actually the MadBed respawn, so yes, at least actually they do (or are supposed to....)

 

[wmk]

As Tealwraith said, at this stage Red has tier 1 med beds, probably for testing purposes, while it supposes to have tier 3 (lowest level) beds in the future.

From the Medical Gameplay description:

Tier 1 – Recover from near-death experiences and fatal injuries.
Tier 2 – Recover from serious injuries, such as multiple limb bleed-outs or ruined limbs.
Tier 3 – Recover from minor injuries, such as limbs being damaged.

Do we know how many PCs can set any particular bed as a respawn point?

So we can pee in the toilet like Norman Reedus ?

 

[Radegast74]

A toilet without doors

Yes! All I ever wanted!

 

[Black Sunder]

If I didn't have the Apollo already I'd get this for sure.
