I think they’re the most overrated ships. The corsair is ugly and I hate the cutlass even though it’s considered one of the better early ships, they’re too easy to disable by just taking out one of the engines and watching them fly in circles. People even randomly target them for that reason just to troll which is especially annoying during a cargo run

@@FearTheIndoorHorseRancher While you might think it's ugly or Drake ships in general.. They are definitely the 'Millenium Falcon/Republic' Star Wars art style in the sense of being thrown together with whatever is available, but gets the job done. The most important thing about the Drake ships though is the versatility at their price points. From starter to the Corsair, you can experience just about all the gameplay loops from cargo, hauling a ROC to mine, or combat. They are practical and usually far cheaper than the 'Pretty to look at' ships in terms of aUEC which makes the value incredibly good.

It's worth noting that its massive cargo space (despite lower SCU capacity) makes the Corsair one of the few ships of its size that can carry a P-72/P-52, drawing even more parallels to the Constellation. Also, I love the cheeky jabs at Drake's status as everybody's favorite definitely-not-for-pirates brand.

Since it is an exploration ship (or at least intended to be independent in it's function) it would make sense to offer the ability to have full access for self-repairs when in gravity. So far it's the only ship we can get on top of (in gravity) to accomplish this. Any other ship would require a spacewalk to accomplish the same thing.

Great video on the Corsair. I had this ship for about a month having waited a long time for it with the Constellation Aquila as a loaner. I found the ship too low to the ground. This inhibits effective use for ROC mining although it can certainly do the job, I dont want to spend alot of time searching for the perfect spot to land. Likewise the wings bothered me when flying low. I did not like the smokey dim lighting inside which could not be changed. I spend most of my time playing alone and it feels like a dark gloomy ship....spooky. so I melted it and got a Constellation. This time the Andromeda and I never looked back. For a solo player much more versatile. More cargo space, easier to land I just prefer it. I will say that if I was going to often man a corsair with full crew of RL friends and family that the Corsair would be king. With all those guns manned its a force for sure. But solo? I will keep my connie. For ROC mining? I also keep a Nomad.

Yes. Do not just look at DPS, a lot of people have bought the ship based on that and then sold it again in disappointment. When it comes to combat, especially PvP the corsair not a ship for a fair fight. Compared to combat ships it's sluggish, it's top speed is average so you won't always be able to run off to recharge shields, and the thrusters have very low HP so it's fairly easy to end up with no functional engines. Just like a real pirate ship, a corsair is great for disabling and boarding cargo haulers but when you see the navy coming, you quickly leave.

The angles on the ramp really extend the cargo area for vehicles. I fit an URSA and Fury in the back and had plenty of room to walk around both. The Mercuryt Star Runner hold more cargo and has the cargo right up to the bulkhead and starboard wall. The Corsair has it in the center and allows full walk around. I wish they would slide the cargo grid to the to the railing and starboard side since you can't access the habitation door from that side. It could easilly fit more cargo in grid.

About point 1, the great landing view is wasted at the moment because the copilot cannot fly the ship.

@fnunez Жыл бұрын
I've found that the way the ship is set up now is great for keeping the ship safe when it's on the ground. Someone on the copilot seat has access to the ship's radar, top turret and missiles, so when the crew goes off to do whatever on the ground someone can remain in that station keeping an eye out for trouble, and if that happens while the crew runs back the copilot can start defending the ship. The folded wing makes the missiles very usable even when the ship is on the ground.

That way three could fully crew the guns, with a fourth perhaps for engineering or “exploration” related activities.

I run the corsair with fixed weapons. Nothing wrong with running gimbles but the extra dps means I can explore another vessel a little more quickly.

Gimbles can do more dps if your not the best shot, the lock on aim nature of them can be very helpful. Bigger weapons only do more dps if you can hit with them.

there is also in each room a drawer under the bed which is separate storage from the main ship storage.

While the size and shape might not be the closest, the interior design and layout of this ship reminds me a lot of Firefly, and it really feels like the most classic 'working man's' ship I've seen haha.

Very "working" ship!

04:00 Top Railgun station? Pre-boarding area for marines? Or whats a pirate ship without a poop deck?

Noticeably absent from a Drake ship is the lack of gun racks…just found that odd.

When the salvage missions had worthwhile cargo, I fufilled the meme; I was using my Corsair to explore other ships cargo bays

It definitely feels like you can live in the Corsair more than the Connie currently.

All the corsair does is make me want a connie rework :D I also love how easy it is to get into and out of at every spot. Just A+ design if you can handle how big the cross section is.

Same, i still have a old price taurus which makes it super efficient but the old style is hard to love
