Do you see the Cutter being used as a snub or stevedore for ships it fits within, in the way the Pisces serves the Carrack?

The Cutter is probably too big of a ship to find much use in this category for anything but the largest of our ships, where it could certainly fill the role of a runabout. It's a much larger and heavier ship than our more typical runabouts though, so it's going to be quite a bit slower and more costly to fuel. However, it does have the advantage of being able to carry more than just people.
