That reactive surface composite is more than twice the cost of the hull. That'd do it.
Corsair coming out of ARX access?

yeah.. reactive armor is a waste of credits if you ask me.
It's standard on all of my combat ships, and I've also put it onto the Corsair. Engineer it heavy duty and combine it with a size 1 thermal resist hull reinforcement, and you get the best armor you can have.
Try putting it on a Corvette. I'm still not over the sticker shock lol.
I have a Cutter with reactive composite armor and class 8 Prismatics. That was a cool 1.1 billion credit expense
I've only used it in combat once, during the Thargoid war. Almost beat a Hydra with it. Almost.
Are there no bulkheads for the Corsair? Bought one at ray gateway and usually you can always find bulkheads for the ship you buy at the station you buy it but there doesn’t seem to be any. Looked at EDSM to find a station that sells them but it doesn’t even seem to be an option when filtering for the outfitting being sold.
If you haven't tried it yet, ShinDez is guaranteed to have it.
Haven’t tried it yet but really surprised the station I bought the ship at didn’t have it. I know not all modules are available but bulkheads always seemed the exception.
I was hoping to get it with the 15% discount..
This. And yes, the availability is not great right now.
Armor and HRP.

Got mine the same place I bought the ship, one of my power's stronghold carriers.
Specifically they are the first module in the Core Modules, they determine the amount and nature of strengthening built into your ships fuselage, good bulkheads frequently cost 150% or more of the value of the ship. For a combat ship this choice determines the way Hull Reinforcements strategy is applied.
In any case where you plan to fit 3 or more HRPs, the correct choice of bulkheads is Reactive with heavy duty engineering, and one of your HRPs (the smallest) would be thermal resist, with all others heavy duty, this gives the best balance of resistances. Obviously you might make a different choice for lightweight ships, but that's a whole thread if you like

Sitting in the cockpit immediately prompts a Courier comparison, but it obviously doesn't have the handling. That said turning FA off reveals a somewhat different side to the thing...
If you try to turn in this ship, you're using it wrong. Use the lateral/vertical thrusters for moving. The Corsair responds to that better than any other ship.
Never learned to fly with FA off. Maybe I should try learning...
