Corsair Builds

The Corsair, stripped down to useless, will jump around 72 Ly on a full tank, with SRV aboard.
Not a ship I'd fly, but then, I'd not fly an Anaconda either!

Probably meI’ve seen someone comment that they’ve made one on here, but I don’t remember who.
Thank you! ~72 laden is pretty neat! I didn't expect that from the Corsair
Corsair has unexpectedly good jumprange, rivaling Asp X and Krait Phantom. But considering the low hull mass (lower than Asp X and Phantom!) it's kind of inevitable. Must be made of Anacondium
Go to https://edsy.org/ and see if the Corsair appears in the list. If not, do a hard refresh: https://help.gavel.io/articles/how-to-do-a-hard-refresh-in-any-browser
The problem happens if you click a link to a specific ship build, but you haven't loaded/refreshed EDSY since the last update adding that ship. Your cached copy of EDSY is complaining that it hasn't heard of no new-fangled 'Corsair'.
That fixed it, thanks! It's been ages since I had to do that the last time for any page, it completely slipped my mind.
I don't think it is useful as an Explorer, even if people did build one in this thread.
It's supercruise agility and sco efficiency aren't great and the visibility is bad too.
I'll stay with pewpew builds for the time being.
People don't like the view from the Maandalay or this for exploring, and I don't get it. Both ships offer a completely clear screen when you look up. Are that many people trying to explore and look for ExoBio samples flying rightside up? I fly all my explorers inverted; no one has see-through legs and feet. The inverted view from this canopy and the Mandalay are equally unsurpassed -- no bars or obstructions at all. Not that I would argue for exploring in this when the Mandalay is better for the job and costs a fraction of the price, but there are only so many ships that offer you a view from the cockpit of nothing but the stars (or ground) above when you look up, and this is one of them.
I fly with the nose tilted down, and use the flight controls to maintain my altitude to around 10 metres. 20 in the Mandy as the belly is too close to getting abraded otherwise.
I've had to learn to increase elevation in the Mandalay before reverting to land, or I smack the big 'ole wings against the ground. They are that ship's one flaw, I think, although I like them for running around on to get a high ground view of that pesky bacterium that I lost track of when I disembarked. The Phantom was always good for that, too, but the drooping wings of the Mandalay are a little easier to hop up on.
The belly is ugly, but I'm glad they asked themselves, "Where will the SRV go?" Maybe that's the story with the Corsair beak, too...
Where does the SRV dock in the Corsair?
A pve build. Built for survival. https://edsy.org/s/vDLnxVP
If FDev could come up with a reason for it, one thing I'd like to see in ED would be some kind of "helicopter" style of ship.
Perhaps, with exobiology deliberately in mind, they could come up with some kind of "skimmer" that we could load into an SRV bay instead of a Scarab or Scorpion?
Which, in turn, would also give a lot of people a reason to think about having to fit a C4 SRV bay.
Something like this could be the basis of a personal skimmer, which'd fly like a helicopter and it even looks a lot like a Scarab.
I’m noticing a lot of round fuselage issues with gimbals. Some of it’s expected like with the side larges and the bottom medium, but even the top mediums seem to cut out when I’m even a bit off center. I had three Concord Cannons across the top that all ended up with different ammo counts after a 15 minute res session.
That doesn’t really surprise me. You’re not going to have in perfect alignment all the time.
