Star Citizen Corsair

The Drake Corsair is a popular exploration ship with serious firepower, a rugged long-range vessel for players who want to explore but also fight back.

What it is

Built for armed exploration, the Corsair pairs exploration range and cargo with heavy weapons, a do-it-all ship for small crews venturing into dangerous space. It is a beloved mid-size pick.

Who it is for

Players who want to explore and haul but not feel defenceless, especially small crews. It is a ship you grow into, not a first purchase.

Compare exploration against everyday hauling

Ask whether your normal trip is a freight delivery, a combat sortie or an expedition. The Corsair is an armed exploration choice. Its exploration label does not prove that every planned exploration mechanic is available. Compare the Freelancer when a more focused transport role matches the missions you actually accept.
