I think at least the two front ones are normal sized hardpoints, not utility hardpoints. Also, it would be extremely unfortunate and disappointing if all utility hardpoints were on the underside of the ship.
New ship: Gutamaya Corsair

I'd fly that... Badly, of course!
That would be a shame.
One of the hardest parts of Thargoid combat in a Courier is the limitations of the utilities. 4 is not enough for murder flower combat, unless you dock / synth regularly. Even then you'd have a caustic sync, a shutdown neutraliser and still run out of heatsinks.
I'm still hoping this is the ship, for when the permit locks come down.
"No AI! That's not what I mean when I said starship!"
She's a beauty.
I had a look at the asteroid field video again as the camera kept panning around the ship. I could clearly make out 4 utility hardpoints but no more than that so unless there’s more really hidden I think it only has 4. I wish they’d add more to all ships, even set a limit to shield boosters if you have to.
Agreed, and while of course I want new cool toys to have all the nicest things, having 4 Utilities rather than 6 does go some way to balance the ship with some downsides. Relative at least to the FDL/Mamba/PythonMkII class ships.
I'm fairly certain these have fallen out of use and are only used by the generation(s) that were known for them (Gen X, I think).
I think you're missing my point. "Cool" was first used in in 1930s and 40s, and is still used today. The phrase "far out" used by Boomers in the 60s is almost never used now (save by maybe them).
My point is, if you're going to attribute something to what "the kids are saying today" as opposed to everyone, you need to use something specific to the current generation (Gen Z or Gen Alpha). Hence, why I gave some Brainrot examples.
Here are a couple of good examples.
This is an image of campground with two signs: one for everyone, and one for the current "youngsters."
And what sparked my interest in the Brainrot phenomena, the Skyrim intro completely redone in Brainrot (I still laugh like crazy everytime I watch it):
Anyway, I wasn't trying to be pedantic, but actually inject humor into the situation. Everyone knows sick, cool, rad, etc. Most people older than Gen Z don't know a lot of Brainrot terms (other than the big ones, like "Sus" for suspicious). Anyway, enjoy the humor in the submissions I've added.
And yes, the Corsair is a sick ship. It is totally rad! It is totally wicked! It's fire! It's lit AF, no cap!
Allegedly we are all god's children... (I'm their grandad)
Copy. AI doesn't draw.
Sure - semantics … definitely some questionable “borrowing” when training these AIs but let’s not get into that here!
The front is a less pretty version of some Amarr ships in Eve Online.
Can't wait to get my hands on this next week - I've wanted a medium Gutamaya ship for years, and this doesn't disappoint either in terms of looks or stats.
I can see this being my main ship for a long time, and I'm actually looking forward to engineering every aspect of it to my liking, especially now the engineering grind is easier.
I know its supposed to be a civilian Gutamaya ship rather than an Imperial Navy one, and in any event we're not official members of the Imperial Navy, but I intend to give mine the INV prefix as I always have done with my Imp ships.
She will be christened the INV Grabthar's Hammer.

Or.... it would result in FDev having to browse through thousands of drawings/sketches of ships that were so close to being the Millennium Falcon, Slave 1, Serenity, the Enterprise, the Nostromo etc that their legal team would be mainlining Prozac for months.
Again, its up to the eyes looking at it to filter them since this is a bit of fun and community engagement.Or.... it would result in FDev having to browse through thousands of drawings/sketches of ships that were so close to being the Millennium Falcon, Slave 1, Serenity, the Enterprise, the Nostromo etc that their legal team would be mainlining Prozac for months.
That and looking over at The Other Game for Stellar Citizens it did not cause them that much trouble....
