Official advertised crew reference, row updated 2026-05-27 20:02:47. Distinct from extracted station/payload counts and practical solo operation.

Crew Area explicitly describes a pair of beds. Crew-area prose is not individually footnoted; page freshness does not establish the patch of this berth claim. Reference count only; bed logout, guest permissions and current functionality were not tested.

2 × Mantis GT-220 Gatling (S3); 2 × CF-337 Panther Repeater (S3)
Current top-level direct gun mounts and their fitted children match the extracted direct pilot-gun count. Remote turret slaving is a separate documented assignment; a crew operator may override it.

1 manned turret configuration(s)
Turret types extracted separately from pilot guns. PDC is not a human gunner; remote control still needs its actual station mapping.

46 SCU
Latest build extracted cargo capacity in SCU, not door clearance or a guarantee that a single crate of this volume fits. Earlier matrix reference: 46 SCU.

Raw bed objects without a functional medical tier, NOT sleeping capacity: includes bunk objects and may include medical-looking objects without medical function.

Fury (CIG intended fit)
CIG names Cutlass Black as the smallest ship originally intended for easy Fury fit; this is the dated stated design target, not proof no smaller current hull fits.

Hydrogen capacity (source-native units): 7.8; Hydrogen intake rate (source-native units): 20; Quantum fuel capacity (source-native units): 4.6; Extracted quantum range (m): 422018348624
Versioned fitted drive/configuration; calculated range is not a measured route or safety reserve. Unlabelled capacity units are not reinterpreted as litres.

4.10.2-LIVE.12881860. A bridge-controllable flag alone does not identify the pilot as operator. Documented pilot slaving is described separately above.
Current independent corrections are reflected in the facts above and in catalog search, filters and comparison. Imported reference data and immutable review history stay intact. Material corrections earn current hull credit once per contributor and independent reviewer, not per revision. Existing private ship wishlists can receive one in-app notice; no email is sent.
Run one freight delivery with a clear rear loading path and an agreed turret or escort role.
SC Nomads planning advice. The linked visual guides contain controls, illustrated steps and dated sources. Hull-specific facts: CIG Cargo Guide and official matrix, checked 20 October 2026 , reviewed 2026-10-20.
With no valuable cargo aboard, bring the first box to the ramp, place it, and have each crew member walk from their station to an exit.
Ready when: The shipment and walking route coexist without trapping the turret operator or loader.
CIG names the Black as an intended Fury carrier. A named example still needs a current clearance test; cargo, vehicle and snub layouts are different loads.
Before departure, have the gunner identify their turret and the pilot identify the shared destination. Practise target identification and a cease-fire call without a valuable load.
Ready when: Both players know who flies, who fires and when the ship will withdraw.
The official matrix lists a manned turret. Do not sell a solo pilot the output of a missing gunner, or assume a Black gains another variant’s medical or dampener functions.
Land with ramp clearance, unload through the required receiving workflow, and check the completed contract before collecting a snub or taking combat work.
Ready when: The cargo handoff is accepted and the crew can account for every person and load.
A versatile ship still has one shared space and a finite crew. Do not mix a vehicle recovery, packed freight hold and urgent combat departure without rehearsing the arrangement.
Selected community reports, checked 2026-10-20. Confirm the current price and availability at the terminal before spending aUEC.
No dated offer included for this hull yet. This does not mean it is unavailable.
Rentals are temporary access, not ownership. The PU rental timer continues while logged out, and rented component loadouts cannot be customized. Daily rates above do not establish discounts for longer rentals. RSI rental rules (updated 2026-04-28).
In-game purchases are distinct from pledges and may be affected by Alpha resets. RSI in-game purchase guidance.
Pledge availability and real-money prices have not been checked in this snapshot. Official ship information. An in-game offer does not establish pledge availability or that a game package is included.
Fly and load in separate phases. An empty manned turret is not an extra pilot-controlled weapon, and the Black is not the Red’s ambulance or the Blue’s interdiction equipment.
3 advertised crew. This is an advertised crew reference, not a solo recommendation or passenger-seat count.
Record my Cutlass Black setup and resultsKeep the pilot at flight controls while a gunner covers the approach. Park and confirm engines and surroundings safe before the loader works at the rear ramp.
