This is the most peaceful ship reviewer on UA-cam rn, even Morphologis isn't this cozy to watch with his bigger budget vids. No hate, just observation. Love your vids!
Morph seems to be an opinionated and witty architect using star citizen to illustrate his mastery of the field. Law seems to do this for the love of the ships.
I was trying to put my finger on the right word for my liking these videos so much and "cozy" ship reviews explains it perfectly 😆 Currently under my duvet, a cup of coffee, its cold outside and Law is talking about ships, life is good 😆
Yes one of chillest and down to earth SC youtubers in my opinion and it's a pleasure to watch, unlike some of the many overzealous SC youtubers (you know their names and their nausea-inducing-ever-positive attitude with everything Star Citizen).
Nice initial review/preview. Corsair may not be my cup of tea, but it does further define Drake’s style guide. Funniest thing about the Corsair that no one seems to be talking or complaining about is it’s complete absence of any “real” exploration gear, stations or purpose. Not even a half-hearted attempt to hide the fact that this ship is really only equipped to “explore” the contents of other people’s ships after first killing them.
This was my thought. I feel a comparison is more apt to the Andromeda or Redeemer than the Aquila which is an actual exploration ship (or should be when the game loops are in)
@@mattduncan3304 its an explorer in that its designed to be long range and such. The 400i, corsair and to some extend the freelancer dur and the aquila are imo explorers in a sense they are long range, and hella multirole
@@iharpo9292 I agree with the others, but not the Corsair. At best I'd say the big fuel tank and cargo makes it a freighter, but mostly I'd say it's a gun ship. it's just a big Cutty. Mostly I'm disappointed that it doesn't feel as Drake as it should. The internal design does, but the fancy wing thing doesn't feel like them. It's form over function.
I just love how CIG is so attentive to detail and are maturing with every new ship they push out. It's small but the details with all the buttons, elevator switches, etc. add such a nice touch to what is to come to all our ships in the future.
@@timsgta yep. To each their own. With a ship like the Corsair I would want to use it for one thing only. To make money. I’m not gonna be PvP ing it up. Because it doesn’t pay (and I’m useless at it) nor am I going to be doing LRT’s my main. Drive is ERT’s and High services beacons. Where I’m mostly fighting Hammerheads, Star farers, Reclaimers, caterpillars and Connie’s. Where this ship is just perfect with fixed. If I really want to fight off the small fighters I’ll just get someone in the turrets. Theirs always someone in chat that’s looking for money.
As for what fits, it does fit a Pisces. It’s not happy since the back gear sits on the ramp, and the folded wings touch both sides. But the ramp can close and you can fly in quantum with it. It’s not something I would do on a regular basis though since it is slightly compressed in flight. Haven’t tested other ships yet.
As usual for a Drake Interplanetary design (and as several viewers have already pointed out) the official description of the ship comes with a generous amount of "wink, wink, nudge, nudge!". It's an explorer the same way a longship full of norsemen is engaged in trading. That said, as a general-purpose platform for a small crew of players, the Corsair may be the best fit of any ship in it's size. In terms of crew, until computer blades are implemented soloing in a Corsair is going to be problematic. The remote turret aft is IMO the most vital of the three turrets. Once blades are implemented it can be automated and solo operation becomes a lot safer. For now the ship is basically multicrew-obligatory. On the guns, the sheer quantity and size of the guns makes me wonder about power supply. Afaik the Corsair has two S2 power plants. I haven't been back in-game for a while, but is it possible to mount guns smaller than S4 on the forward gimbals? That might mitigate energy starvation issues while giving the pilot a uniform battery of six S3 guns to use (which is still going to hurt a lot, while also giving everything the same effective range). Alternatively, dismount the wing guns and focus on the four forward mounts, or run something specialized on the wings that normally isn't cut into the firing circuit.
enjoyed it. always glad to see when you've posted a new one. Was ready to buy the Corsair until I learned no chili would be allowed; thanks for pointing that out.
I love your videos because they are all informative but yet zero bullshit. You give your opinion but thats it and thats the way it should be. Other "content creators" literally explain why they chose this and that blah blah blah because they are insecure and have no idea wtf they are talking about half the time. You my friend are confident and tell it like it is & I appreciate the shit out of that! Thanks for the videos man, see ya in the verse... o7
YAY!! Insta like lol.. Now I'll enjoy!... Thanks for getting this out so quick!☺️ I love utilitarian style of Drake, and think they nailed the design of the Corsair so well!.. It has been 3 years since I was excited about SC so this IAE feels good, already! I am going to try to get the Endeavor this IAE!!.. My cousin and his partner are going for a Javelin or Idris whichever they get first. Thanks for the great video, as always! 🤗
Todays the big day! Wow, you're really jumping into the deep end with getting the Endeavor. I love the look and game play options that surround it. I'm excited as well for this, they're really coming out strong with Drake this time. Can't wait.
@@lawofthewestgaming I prefer working work type over fighting, so the Vulture is really looking good too!.. Every new Drake ship is so well done, with a lot of thought put into their designs!... I look gorgeous to heart your thoughts on the new ships!
I love all of the button and lever controls on this ship. The displays and mfds are nice and all, but it's just not the same. But as others have noted, landing this thing on uneven terrain is going to be a pain in the keister. You're pretty much better off hovering just above the ground and telling people to learn how to jump good, or find another spot.
TBH they could give a bit more love to the Capitan quarter. Its smaller than rest and could use a MFD or a basic screen. Your review, as usuall, awesome!
Beautiful ship and I think I do prefer it to the Connie series, the only reason I don't fly the Corsair is because it's maneuvering thrusters are made of paper. Once you start taking hull damage in combat you are at extreme high risk of losing all maneuverability and becoming a sitting duck.
Seeing how low it is when landed, it'll difficult to land in the wild. Your videos and your voice are so peaceful. Really enjoyable to listen to. There is only one tiny little thing that make the image uncomfortable. Maybe it's on my side. The image seems to have an artefact, some images (when you pause) contains itself and a shadow of the previous one. The video feels heavy, looks laged to me.
Great video as always. The style of the ship is growing on me. Some of my cons of this ship are the low clearance on the landing gear, handling in the atmosphere, no rear-facing gun, and the bottleneck that the engineering station creates in the center of the ship. The pros are the number/size of the guns, the elevator's ability to go ground floor/top deck, and the ability to control the lighting in every room. I wish CIG would settle on giving pilots the ability to control guns. Why can't the carrack pilot use the guns when the Corsair pilot can? The answer has been it is a multi-crew ship. Does that make any sense with the Corsair? I wonder if the guns will get nerfed as they seem pretty powerful at the moment and the turrets can be aimed forward.
This ship should have the sliders for atmospheric handling turned considerably UP. It has a lot of wing area. I’ll concede that you would lose that control authority in space to where it currently sits in that realm. But with all this ship’s quirkiness, the night and day handling should line up perfectly with its weird looks.
I wonder if there will be ways to modify the ship interior in the future. Like, fix/move the random monitor laying on the floor, add wall panels, improve lighting. Like, I get that Drake is bare bones but will we have any ability to refine it into a more finished product?
I tried this ship with 4 people inside, I can say this with knowledge: It's Cramped inside. Like, really cramped. If people are walking around the ship at the same time, you just can't move. 😞 It's just too restrictive, if everyone is sit, it gets easier, but yeah, you need to coordinate it. xD
Getting to finally see the Corsair, it's painfully obvious that the Constellation series needs an overhaul. It just doesn't hold up to this level of design. I would also say the same thing about the Freelancer series, but it's not directly comparable.
The Corsair needs an entire inferior rework , The biggest Corsair looks like a ship you could actually live on , The Connie's are just yuk when it comes to interior layout.
One quick correction with all due respect: That central components room does NOT contain “all the components”. The rear cargo deck contains the shield generator and two other components. Making the job of the technician more interesting if you have cargo.
Everytime I see this ship I see the misc freelancer from the original trailer for it. This is what the misc freelancer should of been but with less forward facing weapons.
I think I found my ship...at least on paper. I wish I didn't miss Day 1 to snag the Corsair for 48 hours. Or is it still there? I gotta reinstall the game!!

Yours are the best Tour and Reviews for Ships!
The ships are defintely getting better over time. They just feel more 'real'.
I love this little fan on the dashboard, combined with copilot position it's really gives it a feel of old Soviet cargo/bomber aircraft
The theme for the Corsair: Guns, Lots Of Guns
I haven't even logged into the game yet to test my corsair. Seen some images but was always waiting for your vid to get a good look
First thing I did with the Corsair. Was removed the gimbals for hard points. Result. 4 x size 5 and 2 X size 4 controlled by the pilot. And I loved it
no gymbals on a ship that handles so poorly, LOL...ok there guy, to each their own. You NEED gymbals on this type of ship...

@@MaxPSVR u make a good point, without turrets the corsair is a sitting duck for fighters anyway.
and yet again, I waited for you to review the new ship!

I miss falling asleep to the old play list set up, but hopefully youll have enough videos into the new one soon!
You could always check out my archived footage located here: ua-cam.com/play/PLOZ_1icnr2wkbR86JrLZEbj6k8ZcagzPN.html
Of course we want an if it sits it fits video. I'd watch one for the 300 series just to see you try and cram a greycat buggy underneath it.

She won’t be winning any beauty contests anytime soon, but she is solid. Ship like this, be with you ’til the day you die.
shiny
Thanks for the advice. * Turns away from the Cony * but...I think I'll take that one. *points at corsair
@@neoplague2139 well done! (Even if it's a death trap.)

The main thing this explorer ship will be exploring is the cargo holds of other ships.

I took the bedroom in the cockpit as a place where pilots can swap out. One sleeps while one flies for the long haul trips.
TBH they could give a bit more love to the Capitan quarter. Its smaller than rest and could use a MFD or a basic screen.
Your review, as usuall, awesome!
I'd love to see a "if it fits it sits" video on the corsair.
Razor fits nicely into the cargo hold. :)
Love how this ship can hold my C8X Pisces and still close the ramp and quantum jump

Not sure what you mean when you say the chin guns can't be swapped for S5. I just did it.
I want to see an if it sits it fits vid!
This is a great ship! I really like how it looks! Also, no chili on this flight here lol

The Corsair is the only ship released so far that does what it is supposed to do.. Aggressive "Exploration"
exploration to other ships :D
@@racoonman01 "I swear We come in peace" has 12 guns facing forward lol
Atmo flight seems to be a HUGE sticking point since so many bounties are in-atmo now....
I'd like to see if a MPUV fits in the cargo bay please!

Just like my Glock
Imma get it🙂
whats the tune during the tour?
"If people want it." 😅
You're silly, you know that?
Damn where can I buy it ? Is it available as a starter ?
