The Corsair is further evidence of Gutamaya's mastery of multi-role ship designs. It offers a generous number of internal compartments, significant cargo capacity, and impressive straight-line speed and agility. With appropriate outfitting the Corsair performs very well in all ship roles, outclassed only by dedicated role vessels. This craft also takes full advantage of an overcharged Frame Shift Drive's capabilities.
— In-Game Description
The Corsair is a medium multirole ship produced by Gutamaya.[1] It's a successor to the Imperial Clipper.[2] Imperial Navy rank is not required.[2] It is currently only available for ARX as of 8 April 2025.[2]
Overview
The Corsair has a size 7 Power Plant, size 7 thrusters, size 7 Power Distributor, up to 10 optional internals, and 6 hardpoints.[3] It's designed to do all three main roles equally.[1] As a multirole ship, it is thus superior to the Python.[2] It can carry up to an impressive 318t of cargo, giving the Corsair the highest cargo capacity of all medium ships apart from the Type-8 Transporter. 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.[1] The cockpit is similar to the Imperial Courier with an extra seat.[2]
The Corsair has a mass lock factor of 7, which is unusually low for a ship of its size. This places its 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.
Development
The Corsair was unveiled during a Frontier Unlocked livestream on 26 February 2025.[1] As previous medium SCO native ships covered Combat, Trading and Exploration (in the Python Mk II, Type-8 and Mandalay respectively), the Corsair represents the first new multi-purpose medium ship.
