What is the Manned "Cutter" that comes with the reclaimer?
The Reclaimer comes with a player-operated cutter vehicle that could detach from the Reclaimer and be deployed in salvage operations to chop up ships into smaller pieces.
From the Reclaimer Concept Sale: "Additionally, it includes a manned cutter which may be deployed for EVA/recovery operations. We intend the game’s salvage mechanic to include a ‘search and recovery’ function in which players will exit their spacecraft in suits and maneuvering units to explore wreckage. Pocket spacecraft like the cutter will carry tools and supplies and transport recovered artifacts back aboard ship." Source

The Reclaimer has a cargo loading elevator. The Reclaimer elevator is currently too small to be used effectively as a vehicle elevator.
