== Overview ==

The Corsair has a size 7 [[Power Plant]], size 7 [[thrusters]], size 7 [[Power Distributor]], up to 10 [[Internal Compartment|optional internals]], and 6 [[Hardpoint|hardpoints]].<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1084057953756270 Corsair Detailed Overview] - Elite Dangerous on Facebook - 10 April 2025</ref> It's designed to do all three main roles equally.<ref name=":0" /> As a multipurpose ship, it is thus superior to the [[Python]].<ref name=":1" /> ~~The 318 tonnes max~~ [[~~Cargo Rack|cargo~~]] ~~capacity which is relatively large for a medium ship~~.

The Corsair's max speed is capped at 600 m/s.

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" />

The Corsair has a [[Mass Lock|mass lock]] factor of 7, which is unusually low for a ship of its size. This places ~~the Corsair's~~ mass locking ability on par with much smaller ships such as the [[Adder]] or Imperial Courier. It's currently unclear whether or not this is an oversight by the developers.
