The video showcases the upcoming Gutamaya Corsair ship in Elite Dangerous, highlighting its strengths as a combat-focused multirole vessel with impressive firepower, cargo capacity, and a jump range of 40 light-years, making it suitable for piracy and exploration. It discusses the ship’s design, handling, pricing for early access, and invites viewer feedback on their interest in acquiring the Corsair and future ship releases.
The video discusses the upcoming release of the Gutamaya Corsair, a new ship for Elite Dangerous, set to be available for early access on April 8th. The Corsair is described as a successor to the Imperial Clipper and aims to improve upon the classic Python with enhanced firepower, cargo capacity, and jump range. The video provides a summary of the ship’s internal module slots, highlighting its powerful core internals and various hardpoints, including three large and three medium slots, as well as four utility slots.
While the Corsair is labeled a multirole ship, the presenter emphasizes that it excels in specific areas, particularly as a combat vessel. With a size 5 FSD booster, the ship can achieve an impressive jump range of 40 light-years, making it suitable for exploration. However, the ship’s design and capabilities indicate a strong inclination toward piracy, with its high speed, formidable weaponry, and spacious cargo hold designed for chasing down and overpowering targets.
The handling of the Corsair is described as “on rails,” offering predictable flight mechanics that prioritize efficiency and deadly precision. Although it may not excel in tight turns, its central hardpoint design allows for effective weapon deployment without the need for gimballed weapons. The ship’s aesthetics are noted to be divisive, with a unique design that some players may love while others may dislike. The cockpit provides a good view in combat, and the ship features intricate details and moving parts, enhancing its visual appeal.
The video also touches on the ship’s early access pricing, with the base unlock costing 16,520 ARX and the Stellar edition priced at 33,000 ARX, which includes upgrades and a ship kit. The presenter encourages viewers to consider their personal preferences regarding the Corsair, as its design and intended role may not suit everyone. The ship is pitched as a multirole vessel, but its specific capabilities suggest a strong focus on piracy and combat.
Finally, the video invites viewers to share their thoughts on whether they plan to acquire the Corsair and how they intend to use it. The presenter also asks for feedback on what ship they would like to see next from Frontier. The video concludes with a lighthearted tone, encouraging viewers to subscribe and support the channel, while playfully engaging with the audience.
