The Drake AS-1 Cutlass Black (also: DCB1) is a low-cost, easy-to-maintain solution for local in-system militia units. The larger-than-average cargo hold, Radar intercept officer (RIO) back-seat and dedicated tractor mount are, the company literature insists, for facilitating search and rescue operations.[1] The Cutlass Black is very popular among pirates.

Features

Cargo
The Cutlass Black has the capability of carrying up to 46 SCUs of cargo within its hold, as well as 46,000K μSCU of internal stowage. Thanks to its rear ramp, the ship can carry ground vehicles like the ROC or even Drake's very own Mule or Dragonfly.
Crew Area
Despite Drake's reputation of providing only the essentials, the Cutlass still has a spacious crew area which includes a pair of beds, a small kitchenette, two 500k µSCU storage lockers, and four fully functional gun racks.
Easy Access
Apart from its rear ramp, the ship also has a pair of large side doors, ideal for when you need to EVA to recover cargo, salvaging, or for rescue operations.
Tractor Beams
To assist in recovery-type missions, the ship has a conveniently placed hard-point at the rear which holds a size 1 tractor beam.
Weapons
Being in the depths of space can leave you vulnerable to attacks from other ships. With four pilot-controlled size 3 gun hard-points, a manned turret which can hold a pair of size 3 guns, and racks that can hold eight size 3 and sixteen size 2 missiles, Drake Interplanetary has you covered.
