I got a Corsair and love the handling, but what should I use it for? What are you going to do with yours?

I don't have one yet, but looking at the stats on Coriolis it looks like a direct upgrade to the Python, so I plan to get one to do everything my Python does. Which is everything except exploration.

nice!
now swap the 3a prospector for a 5a prospector and use the c3 operations limpet controller
It just screams pirate ship.
No Officer, I’m just a simple trader…
I will wait for the next Thargoid war.
I am probably going to use mine as a general mission / powerplay runner and daily driver, but with much more firepower and cargo than the Mandalay I currently use for that purpose.
i made a multipurpose one, with the expectation of being able to handle most of missions (powerplay as well as bgs) at once.
ill also make an ax one and depending how the superheavy hulltank will handle i might make a cz runner as well.

I love the Cobra Mk V for PP2 tasks, which is pretty much the epitome of "multipurpose". The one thing that slightly frustrates me is how hard it's to fight with the strongest NPCs (I know that to combat veterans it's laughably easy, but for me it isn't). For that reason I thought I would switch to the Corsair as my go-to PP2 ship because of the bigger guns and increased damage resistance. It packs a lot more of a punch, and can soak a lot more damage.
On the other hand, it's not as nimble as the Cobra5, and the cockpit view is quite restricted. I'm a bit ambivalent right now about it.
The Cobra5 has kind of spoiled me because it turns so fast that feels more like an arcade game space ship than an ED space ship. In a good way, mind you, but after flying it for a while most other ships feel really sluggish.

That looks great.
I have not seen you in a while. How are you doing?
That is mostly what I'm doing right now with it. It is a fantastic core miner but its a great all arounder. I never get through an entire seismic launcher with this hold size. It is also nimble enough to do sub-surface and I can laser a rock really fast with 3 class2 mining lasers that don't quit.
I'm using this ship to get all my merits...its going quickly.
Umm... why not DM? Also, i'm all over these forums, surprised you haven't seen me posting.
Also, damn you @Robert Maynard - when did you take 3rd place from me on most forum posts? Its all that arguing over open vs solo, isn't it?
I have tailored my Corsair, FNA Despot, for armed mission/trade running. My T-8 is going all mining now, mostly because I don't really like to fly it, and trading is going to the Despot. The T-8 lumbers around and just can't defend itself, that sounds like a miner to me. Plus, I hate c1 weapons...
The corsair has 224 units of cargo space, a multi-limpet controller, a space buggy, and is armed to the teeth with 4 Pulse and 2 Cannon, all engineered just nice. As is I've taken it into CZs and Haz Res' with good (but not excellent) results. The Despot won't replace my P2 for dedicated combat, nor replace my Mandy for getting around and scooping, but it easily replaces the K2 that up until recently held that hauling position.
