Please fix the Corsair

[IcewindZG]

The... Schnoz on the Corsair is intolerable. Every other part of the ship is lovely. If the nose angle was reduced/flattened, or if the bottom of the nose rose up, or if it was shaped more like the Mandalay or iCourier, this ship could be an instant purchase on release day.

I bought both the Mandalay and the Cobra Mk V as a way to say thank you for good designs. I really want to be able to buy this one too, but that sniffer is so ugly it causes me disgust and even anger. Anger that if you simply had the nose of the courier it would be an instant purchase.

Again, the rest of the ship is gorgeous, but that one glaring flaw makes it turn hard into the ugly Olympics competitors.

"Fix" implies something is broken. You mean you want it changed.

I like it. We don't have a pointy nosed ship like this.

Trust me, my Corsair's nose will be broken once I'm done docking in it.

But imo, it does seem to go against the current Imperial aesthetic a little. But w/e.

We will have to see what the 'real' model looks like, but I like it.

The schnoz on the courier is not much better. But c'mon, can we have it before we fix it?

Hey, complaining about stuff before its even released is the norm around here.

I like the looks of the Corsair, although I am not particularly fond of the cockpit (shape and location), from what I have seen so far.
But since it's Gutamaya, I look forward to seeing what it will look inside and, if it's got blackjack and hookers included, I will accept it, no matter what it looks like.

The Corsair is the Astartes version of the Imperial Eagle. From small and fragile guardsman to roided up beef machine.

Are you saying that it's going to also have a couple of size 7 hardpoints and it can SC straight through planets?

So it needs a big schnoz to SC through planets... makes sense

Link is broken, are you implying the corsair will be broken?

Huh. Worked for me... just pasta'd the image in instead.

Show me the imperial eagle

I can't be bothered shopping up the actual meme but you get the idea

Some of us can complain about stuff that has even been properly announced and have been doing just that for at least 10 years.

It even has a giant nostril that you now cannot unsee. You're welcome.

 

[AngryAntz]

Wow, you could take an eye out with that.

That nostril reminds me a bit of a proper Ferrari F1 car from the good old days.

So thank you.
