Cutlass Red Guide, Specs & Features
What to know
The Drake Cutlass Red is a compact emergency-response ship with two Tier 3 medical beds, long-range search radar, side airlocks, and a rear tractor mount. It is built to find casualties, bring them aboard quickly, and begin treatment before reaching a clinic.
Cutlass Red specifications
Recovery, treatment, and handover
The Cutlass Red turns Drake's familiar multi-role frame into a compact emergency-response ship. Side airlocks give zero-gravity casualties a short route to two Tier 3 medical beds, while long-range radar, crew facilities, and a practical interior support rescue patrols away from a clinic.

Access, monitoring, and handover
For the Cutlass Red, search equipment, patient access, and medical care support fast recovery from places where a larger hospital ship cannot easily operate.

Development note: The Cutlass Red is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.8.1. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Recovery and treatment aboard the Cutlass Red
Long-range radar helps find the casualty, side airlocks shorten recovery, and two Tier 3 medical beds let treatment begin during the flight home.
Two medical beds let the crew stabilize and treat two patients while the ship heads toward a hospital.
Airlocks on both sides give zero-gravity casualties a short route into the medical bay.
A bunk, toilet, storage, suit lockers, and a gun rack support longer rescue patrols away from port.
A powerful roof-mounted spotlight helps the second crew member search debris fields and dark landing sites.
Wide doors and a clear internal route help the crew move a casualty from the airlock to a medical bed quickly.
The medical bay keeps monitoring and emergency care available while the pilot begins the return trip.
The Cutlass Red's rescue cabin
The Cutlass Red combines two medical beds with long-range search radar, side airlocks, and rear tractor support so the crew can find a casualty, bring them aboard, and begin care immediately.

Medical beds, a long-range scanner, and a rear tractor mount
Stock the medical bay and leave the airlocks and patient route clear before the rescue call arrives.
Monitor both patients and keep urgent care active while the pilot flies toward the receiving hospital.
Pass on the patient's condition, treatment, and next medical need before the transfer begins.
From patient recovery to handover
The Cutlass Red is organized around the patient. Its crew finds the casualty, brings them through the nearest safe airlock, begins treatment, and keeps care active until hospital handover.

-
Treat the patient's injuries in the Cutlass Red's medical bay
The Cutlass Red's medical response starts with the patient's location and condition, nearby hazards, and the facility that can receive them.
-
Move the patient directly into the Cutlass Red's medical bay
The nearest side airlock and clear central aisle give the crew a short route from recovery to the medical beds.
-
Begin treatment as soon as the patient is aboard
The two Tier 3 medical beds provide emergency care and monitoring during the return flight.
-
Keep the patient stable during the Cutlass Red's flight
Treatment records and communication with the receiving hospital keep care moving smoothly through handover.
Cutlass Red: Medical support from pickup to handover
The Cutlass Red brings search, patient access, treatment, medical supplies, and recovery support together in one compact rescue ship.

Long-range search radar helps the crew find ships, vehicles, and casualties during rescue operations.
Dedicated storage keeps medical supplies close to the treatment area without blocking crew access.
The rear tractor mount can help move debris or recovered objects during a rescue.
The side airlocks and clear central aisle let the crew move a patient into treatment without an unnecessary detour.
Patient care sets the pace
The Cutlass Red's flight and medical crew share responsibility for patient access, treatment, monitoring, and handover.
Treatment begins before the ship reaches a hospital
The pilot manages the route and landing while the medical crew receives, treats, and monitors up to two patients.
On the Cutlass Red, the landing point, transfer route, and crew positions should get the patient into treatment as quickly as possible.
Flight and medical crews keep the transfer route clear so urgent treatment can continue without interruption.
The receiving hospital gets the patient's condition, treatment record, and next medical need before the Cutlass Red arrives.
