I felt much the same. The Outcasts can have the Falcata if they want, but I won't be flying it. This is how I envisioned the Border World bomber to be, an upscaled version of the Sabre that continues the trend from Dagger>Stiletto>Sabre.
Quote:Series CZ "Cutlass" Border Worlds Bomber
With an influx of Capital Class vessels, the men and women of action in the Border Worlds and Edge Worlds required a Ship that could hold its own in the dangerous environment. Boasting more power and armor than the Series Z, and the additional fire power of an extra Torpedo slot, the Cutlass has become the bane of Bounty Hunters and Criminals alike.

I'm sure many people will be concerned with what's the point if we already have the Falcata and the Waran. Others will be quick to say "It just looks like a Sabre with extra bits".
But that's just the point. The Border World series is a progression of ships, the Dagger is the base and the Stiletto and Sabre add more parts on to it. I simply continued the logical trend to create the Cutlass. I don't mean any offence by it, but Eppys' Falcata just doesn't look or feel like a Border Worlds ship. It works perfect for an Outcast bomber, but not a Border World bomber.
