The '''Cutlass Black Best In Show Edition''' is a distinctive variant of the [[StarCitizen:Cutlass]] medium-sized, multi-functional spacecraft manufactured by [[StarCitizen:Drake Interplanetary]]. This special edition was created especially for the 'Best In Show' event at the [[StarCitizen:Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2949]] and has a unique white and purple livery. Drake asserts that it offers a cost-effective and low-maintenance option for local in-system militia units. The company literature emphasizes that the above-average cargo capacity, RIO seat, and specialized tractor mount are designed to enhance search and rescue missions. <ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/drake-cutlass/Cutlass-Black-Best-In-Show-Edition-294|text=Cutlass Black BIS Edition-RSI Ship page}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
{{List item<br />
|Cargo<br />
|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 [[StarCitizen:ROC]] or even Drake's very own [[StarCitizen:Mule]] or [[StarCitizen:Dragonfly]].<br />
}}<br />
{{List item<br />
|Crew Area<br />
|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.<br />
}}<br />
{{List item<br />
|Easy Access<br />
|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.<br />
}}<br />
{{List item<br />
|Tractor Beams<br />
|To assist in recovery-type missions, the ship has a conveniently placed hard-point at the rear which holds a size 1 tractor beam.<br />
}}<br />
{{List item<br />
|Weapons<br />
|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.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* It was one of four finalists in the 'Best In Show' event during [[StarCitizen:Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2949]]. [[StarCitizen:Cutlass Black]] owners, at the time of the event, received an upgrade to this variant as a reward. The ship was also offered as a stand alone purchase to backers only during the event.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/17312-IAE-2949|text=IAE 2949|accessdate=2024-11-15}}</ref><br />
