Sales Pitch:
Attention all risk-taking explorers who like to shoot first and ask questions later! Are you ready to embark on your next adventure with a ship that’s as bold and daring as you are? Then look no further than the Drake Corsair!
The Drake Corsair is not just a ship, it’s a statement. With its asymmetric convertible wings and a large cargo hold, it screams versatility. It’s designed for those who don’t just push boundaries, but obliterate them.
Now let’s talk about size. The Corsair has a cargo capacity of 72 SCU, making it perfect for hauling large amounts of goods across the stars. But don’t let that fool you into thinking this ship can’t handle itself. While it may give up some defenses for a focus on versatility and firepower, its defense is more than enough for its intended role and it’s often up-gunned to offset any deficit. So whether you’re exploring distant stars or engaging in a firefight, the Corsair has got you covered.
This multi-crew explorer doesn’t just get you from point A to point B. It’s equipped with a full complement of scanning suites and a pair of quantum fuel tanks, ensuring you’re ready for whatever the universe throws at you.
But what about firepower, you ask? The Corsair boasts six fixed guns, three turrets, and four missile racks, providing an impressive array of firepower for an exploration vessel. Furthermore, the dorsal and lateral turrets can fully point forward, adding to the already impressive frontal firepower of the ship. The pilot controls these weapons by default, although in the future (like other ships), their control will be able to be delegated to another station.
And when the day is done, you can relax in the top-flight crew quarters knowing your Corsair is ready for whatever tomorrow brings.
As for purchasing the Drake Corsair in-game, it is available at the New Deal shop in Lorville for 3,402,000 aUEC. For Citizens visiting from a different reality, the Drake Corsair is currently not for sale. So why wait? Get ready to explore where no duct tape has gone before!
