Congratulations, you have passed double standards 101.
Corsair is deeply disappointing
- Thread starter It cant get worse
- Start date
You do know that you can post your images as thumbnails (click to enlarge)? I mean if yea you really want to post an image that fills up my 4K screen (and then some) that's your choice.
No I did not. Thanks.
I always saw the Corsair as a Python Mk3 since it +1's every non-FSD core module and still offers great internals, meant to be the new ultimate medium multi-role. So I don't mind most of the issues people bring up.
However for me the deal-breaker was the mass-lock factor of 7, somehow equal to the very small Imperial Courier. It feels completely silly to me that a ship this massive gets mass-locked by nearly every ship in the game including the small ones.
I waited to know about it, so I didn't spend the ARX.

The fact it can outrun just about everything makes that more okay imo.
But it is not a light ship while doing it. The Courier is basically a thruster strapped to a FSD and can somehow mass-lock it. The Corsair speed is merely a bonus on top of the massive core modules + internals, especially since the size 7 thrusters just mean not having to care about weight in builds and doesn't really go above the maximum speed bonus that is the same no matter the thruster size.
Yes I am too also dissapointed in the corsair. It doesn't have 20 hardpoints that have full 360 sperical firing archs in all directions and cant boost at 3000m/s
Jokes aside my only gripe is the selection of paintjobs and the overall price of everything these days...
I am curious as to why people say its not manuverable? I've had no issue getting fixed weapons on target.

No midnight black... :-(
Why aren't the most basic color schemes not available on ALL the ships straight from the start??
It's slow to point, FA off helps a lot. With the Phantom II I can get in close and hang there on the SCB/chaff spamming NPCs and hammer them inspite of the chaff spam, I just can't do that with the Corsair.
I tried a single size 2 feedback cascade long range hammer last night, it's not much help. Interestingly enough, I used my Mandy to do the engineering run, I did 2 rails, a size one and two, and the hammer, all were long range G3 with feedback cascade. It has 2 G5 overcharged incendiary size 2 multi cannons and a size 1 G5 overcharged corrosive as well. I took that to the haze rest and it did much better than the Corsair. It's also more fun to fly with better visibility.
I may need to add incendiary to 2 of the size 3 multis...
I saw someone on YouTube with an all plasma build and one, size 2, feedback cascade long range rail... Not sure why he bothered with the rail. On the SCB spamming NPCs they are not effective.
It's not terrible, just... Meh. Middle of the road. From all the hype, i thought it was going to be on the overpowered side of things. It really is a Python with supercruise, better speed and an extra hardpoint. I was never a big fan of the Python, so it goes without saying I'm not a big fan of the Corsair.
I bought into the hype, silly me.
Can I send you my bill for cleaning my monitor after spitting my drink all over it?
Midnight Black has never been one of the basic colour schemes, it was a premium scheme brought out only once or twice per year.
Back in the good old days.
You should know better than to drink and
What's next? Telling me to not eat on the loo?
Well not while browsing the forums anyway.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Then there's also that the ship had higher expectations for it than the other new ones. Many people have voiced that they'd like a new medium Imperial ship for plenty of years, while AFAIK nobody said that they want a Python Mk II, only a few mentioned a Type-8 (just a few jokes about how there's nothing between 7 and 9), having a
Not to mention that a Gutamaya ship has non-Gutamaya seats - although that also happened with the Courier at first, ten years ago.
We'll see if Frontier decides the ship needs some adjustment or if it's fine as it is. Personally, I quite like it for exploration so far - as long as I don't look at the seat.
I'm loving it.
It's not for everyone though. I don't see that as a failure.
Kinda feels weird to see so much demand for buffs given half the internet is also complaining it's OP.
I'd say FD did a good job.
I have spent some time in the Corsair, an found that it's a decent combat ship. What I have found is that like the FdL/Mamba the Corsair is super sensitive to throttle control. Venture outside of the 'blue' zone, and you can get dogged. With the throttle set in the blue, and with considered use of boost, keeping on target is much easier.
I use 1x C3 + 3x C2 Efficient Pulse Lasers (3 w/ Phasing + 1 w/ Scramble), and 2X C3 Overcharged Cannon (w/ Servos). Stripping shields: Check. Burst damage sniping the PP: Check. With 3 pips to Weapons, I can pew nearly for ever.
The Corsair is not as good for combat as the P2. That's good. When I'm headed to a CZ, I'm in the P2. The more combat focused ships in CZs add too long of a TTK compared with the P2. But, for the more sedate fighting in a RES, the Corsair does just fine.
I can't say I'm disappointed by the Corsair. It's an All-rounder, not a combat focused ship. I find it excellent for it's intended purpose. I can fly around in a ship w/ 224 units of cargo space, a limpet controller and a space buggy, all the while capable of dominating a Haz Res. Who could be disappointed with that?

Yeah, overall, it's a combat trader, but lacks the punch of the Python 2... It's a good balance. But as an overall mission runner, the Mandy is my favorite.
