Hi
The... Schnoz on the Corsair is intolerable. Every other part of the ship is lovely. If the nose angle was reduced/flattened, or if the bottom of the nose rose up, or if it was shaped more like the Mandalay or iCourier, this ship could be an instant purchase on release day.
I bought both the Mandalay and the Cobra Mk V as a way to say thank you for good designs. I really want to be able to buy this one too, but that sniffer is so ugly it causes me disgust and even anger. Anger that if you simply had the nose of the courier it would be an instant purchase.
Again, the rest of the ship is gorgeous, but that one glaring flaw makes it turn hard into the ugly Olympics competitors.
I must truthfully admit the nose and cockpit design is for me personally not very aesthetic, but as the saying goes 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. I'm not sure if peoples comments (pre-release) have any input with how the ship design is finally finished / arrived at anyway.
The other important point I think is how useful is the Corsair going to be in the game. That might sway people to overlook it's present design and adopt it for use in specific roles.
Ship design, It's interesting, Take the Panther, it's perceived design in 'leaked' artwork ranges from a large but slightly rounded shape to what's been described as a 'brick'.
A brick doesn't strike me in the sense as something aesthetic, but people are still crying out for it!
A thousand or more cargo capacity would go down well though with some commanders in Colonisation at the moment I reckon.
