The Corsair has a size 7 [[Power Plant]], size 7 [[thrusters]], a size 7 [[Power Distributor]], up to 10 [[Internal Compartment|optional internals]], and 6 [[hardpoint]]s.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1084057953756270 Corsair Detailed Overview] - Elite Dangerous on Facebook - 10 April 2025</ref><ref name=":2">[https://www.elitedangerous.com/corsair Corsair - Elite Dangerous] - 8 April 2025</ref> It's designed to do all three main roles equally.<ref name=":0" /> As a multirole ship, it is thus superior to the [[Python]].<ref name=":1" /> 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 through [[Engineers|engineering]] is capped at 600 m/s, though the size 7 Thrusters ensure it will reliably reach this speed even with most high-mass load outs.<ref name=":2" /> | The Corsair has a size 7 [[Power Plant]], size 7 [[thrusters]], a size 7 [[Power Distributor]], up to 10 [[Internal Compartment|optional internals]], and 6 [[hardpoint]]s.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1084057953756270 Corsair Detailed Overview] - Elite Dangerous on Facebook - 10 April 2025</ref><ref name=":2">[https://www.elitedangerous.com/corsair Corsair - Elite Dangerous] - 8 April 2025</ref> It's designed to do all three main roles equally.<ref name=":0" /> As a multirole ship, it is thus superior to the [[Python]].<ref name=":1" /> 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 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. | 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 it's fuselage, affording much tighter weapon convergence. | ||
