The Corsair has a maximum boost speed of 600 m/s; while it can reach this speed with 6A Thrusters engineered with [[Dirty Thrusters]] and the [[Drag Drives]] experimental effect, equipping the Corsair with a 7A counterpart will allow it to consistently reach and maintain its maximum speed, even with most high-mass load outs such as hull tank combat builds.<ref name=":2" />

[[File:3TzJ3xQ.jpg|thumb|Corsair view from the cockpit]]

The ship has blue neon strip lights that highlight the shape of the hull, and minimal heat vents that fit inside the ship.<ref name=":0" /> The cockpit is similar to the [[Imperial Courier]] with an extra seat.<ref name=":1" /> Ports on the outer edges of the nacelles allow the thrusters to be observed externally, spinning faster as the ship accelerates. As a departure from earlier Imperial Gutamaya ships which feature weapon Hardpoints on their nacelles, all of the Corsair's Hardpoints are located on its fuselage, affording much tighter weapon convergence.

[[File:Convergence_corsair.png|thumb|250px|Corsair hardpoints convergence]]

As a departure from earlier Imperial Gutamaya ships which feature weapon Hardpoints on their nacelles, all of the Corsair's Hardpoints are located on its fuselage, affording much tighter weapon convergence. One Large Hardpoint is located on top of the ship some ways behind the cockpit, with the other two placed on the sides of the ship below the cockpit. Two of the Medium Hardpoints are on the angled slopes either side of the top Large Hardpoint, while the third is on the bottom amidships, in front of the Cargo Hatch.

Two Utility Hardpoints are located on either side of the bottom Medium Hardpoint near the Cargo Hatch. The other two are located one each atop the engine nacelles.

== Trivia ==

* When first released, ~~the Corsair~~ had a [[Mass Lock|mass lock]] factor of 7, which is unusually low for a ship of its size. This placed its mass locking ability on par with much smaller ships such as the [[Adder]] or Imperial Courier. ~~This oversight~~ was ~~fixed in the~~ Trailblazers Update 3 on 30 ~~April,~~ 2025.<ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-trailblazers-update-3-now-live.636973/</ref>

* When the Corsair was first released, it had a [[Mass Lock|mass lock]] factor of 7, which is unusually low for a ship of its size. This placed its mass locking ability on par with much smaller ships such as the [[Adder]] or Imperial Courier. The Corsair was also observed to have abnormally poor heat dissipation for a ship of its size and module compatibility. Both issues were rectified with Trailblazers Update 3, released on 30 Apr 2025.<ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-trailblazers-update-3-now-live.636973/</ref>

* The Corsair proved somewhat controversial with cmdrs at release due to it's 600m/s speed limit. In reality, every ship in the game has a maximum speed limit, though it's rare for most to reach this outside of a low-mass builds. The Corsair is the first ship that can reach it's speed limit with undersized 6A thrusters. This is something of a feature however, and does not make 7A thrusters obsolete on the ship; while 6A allows the ship to reach it's maximum speed on a low-mass build, 7A thrusters allow it consistently retain it's speed and handling even in high mass, hull tank combat builds.
