Damn, if I had a Corsair Id be able to do so many absolutely legal things with my friends, the police would probably give all of us new rooms for free out of admiration. Amazing ship.
nobody like it its on the funny number
indeed, exactly what was I thinking
Absolutely the best ship for exploring!
... Exploring the interior of other ships.
I would fly the corsair through the air with lots if flair to my pirate lair... follow if you dare. *facepalm*
Love free room and board! Especially in this economy!
In case anyone doesn’t know, the lighting has been fixed. The ship has light switches now and the inside looks amazing
Awesome
Not anymore, bugged again haha
Honestly, the Corsair seems like the perfect vessel to live a nomadic lifestyle with a small crew. That’s what I would do with it. It’s got to be one of the most versatile ships CIG has brought to the table and it’s rough/lived-in aesthetic really serves to charm and bewilder someone who enters the ship for the first time. Flooding their imagination with curiosity about the wonders the vessel had endured.
I'd definetly do the same with it if it didn't cost over $200 with no way to buy it in universe
It’s great solo as well. It has one of the best solo DPS in the game
@@PlatinumParakeet I thought the same thing u til I grinder enough to get the Mercury Star Runner, it’s my favourite explorer ship and second favourite daily driver. It’s expensive at basically 5 million Auec, but it’s a beautiful ship especially interior wise
@@PlatinumParakeet Well good news its buyable in universe now
One of the most authentic interiors out of every ship in the game, so impressed at how much ship interiors have improved over time
As an architecture student, and a recent star citizen. Your channel is peak.
Architecture students, unite :)
Architect gang
I had an architecture student friend over for drinks, years ago.
I was building a room and said casually "I might put a balcony on the end, to get the morning sun ... do you think that would look cool?"
He responded by saying that an architect should never give free advice and that I would have to pay him for his professional opinion.
He was a first year, second semester student.
I said nothing, but I didn't invite him over for drinks again.
Years later, I was working as a mechanic and he asked me about an issue with his car ... I gave him my honest opinions and even helped him to fix it.
That's because I'm not a sanctimonious jerk (present post excepted).
Same👌
@@Glathgrundel Damned snarkitects, with their flying buttresses and whatnot.
the corsair is my dream ship for getting my friends into SC and it also has my favorite design feature out of any multi-crew ship to date: individual crew quarters. idk why, but for me that makes a ship feel a lot more like a home rather than a tin can you fly from destination to destination.
Well sir, it seems like you might just have that chance, BECAUSE YOU JUST WON! Please shoot me an email (found in about and view email address on my youtube channel), and reply here that you've emailed me. We'll go from there.
@@Morphologis Thanks so much! I just sent an e-mail :)
@@chexmax2848 Enjoy your corsair man!
Fair. The Connie's bunks - hell even the Carrack's barrack - don't have little rooms for people.
@@Morphologis thats so cool
I'm a sailor and I've worked on many small boats and ships throughout my career. That being said, this ship SCREAMS some of the boats I've worked and lived aboard. (sans guns). this harkens to a particular fleet I worked aboard called Blackbeard's Cruises, located out of Nassau Bahamas. I remember sleeping less then 10 inches from the ships electrical generator. which most likely gave me tinnitus. I can speak from experience as to the comfort you can create out of a purely practical space. I had a bloody phenomenal time aboard this fleet. I encourage anyone who reads this to go ahead and google Blackbeard's cruises. I worked primarily aboard SY Ocean Explorer.
ship gives out such a star wars vibes and that's probably what attracted me to the ship in the beginning! I think exploring with the ship with friends would be amazing. Enough weapons to keep everyone engaged and if anyone needs to go afk real quick they have their own room to hide in!
Bt-7 thunderclap
Yesssss @@louiseckstark31
The idea of a Corsair as a hero ship in a firefly-esqe show really sticks with me. I can totally see a scrappy misfit crew having character moments in the mess hall, an engineer rushing around the octagonal engineering space to keep the engines running, the pilot seat with room for the crew to look over the pilot’s shoulder, and a cargo bay big enough for whatever plot device they can cram in there.
I really appreciate your design comments about the sailboat and art styles. I find myself walking around and looking at design and architecture completely different. Please keep putting those portions into your videos. I come for the amazing videos and stay for the architecture lesson!
Congrats to whomever got this ship.. it's a fantastic ship.
It is and its not that expensive either if you consider 280-300$ cheap in Star Citizen which i do 😂 could take you on a ride if you want
It makes me think of the Twilight from Star Wars, in which Anakin and Ahsoka used to fly in the first seasons. Really a dutiful ship for all kinds of space adventures!
So awesome an asset from one company makes you think of something from another company instead of being original and unique from the first comapny. So glad we're all backing a game that copies everyone else.
Morph even knowing the quality I have come to expect from your videos, I am still blown away every single time. Your cinematography is excellent and your view points are unique. I always learn something new. Thanks for all your hard work
As an interior designer and an obsessed person with 3d modeling in rhino/grasshopper,i can safely say the corsair is the most refined ship i've seen by CIG so far!also there's something special about this specific model,in my opinion true luxury comes from a well thought and efficient layout that understands and compliments the clients needs,not only by throwing together high end materials and call it a day(am looking at you 600i)
This feels like the perfect exploration ship to me. I just wanna take it out into the verse with my friends and see where it’ll take us. Awesome video!
Just wait another 18 year for 1.0 and mosT than one solar sysTem and you can!
@@SirGeneTX 18 years for 4.0 to release is a tad bit pessimistic
I keep rewatching these vids, you nail the vibe in your videos. And that cinematography is great.
During freeflight a random guy from chat invited me to fly together in his Corsair. He showed me that Star Citizen isn't a buggy mess that laughing about is cool, but a really fun game at times. So if I had a Corsair I would gather courage to talk to people and show them the real Star Citizen, a game like no other for all the reasons.
Out of all ships I’ve been on nothing has felt as homely and for want of a better term ‘realistic’ (or even believable) than the Corsair. I could really see long journeys and exploration being carried out in one of these creating some epic shared crew adventures
Thanks again for taking the time to produce this! Corsair may be where I migrate from the Valk, a mobile base for my infantry squad when we're trying to get past air threats to deploy a vehicle on the ground. Love the design language
Me and my girlfriend have a huge passion for space games. Something about the two of us travelling through space and getting into all kinds of trouble together is always so appealing to both of us. This ship is like the perfect space home. The design is awesome, the size is awesome. I love everything about the ship. Great review!
I'd love to have a crew with this ship and just live in it. One of the best designs by CIG you can tell they are getting better and better at designing new ships
I never thought that I'd love this ship as much as i do. I don't see too many ships that give insane roleplay opportunities and I feel like the Corsair is it. It's perfection
Wow this ship design is fantastic! I appreciated your narrative design discussion. If I had a Corsair I’d definitely make most of that cargo space to make sure people could get their “special” deliveries on time without needless red tape or import fees. It seems like a great ship to “fly casual” in!
I finished my Architecture studies 2 years ago and I can say: LOVE this kind of content!
I would just be so hyped to finally own a corsair. A while ago I was flying one and discovered the whole interior on my own and i just love how many detail there is, it kinda felt like home. Flying this beauty with 3 friends will be a blast
AHHHHHHH YOUR VIDEO QUALITY IS COMPLETELY INSANE!!! It really shows that you are putting down a lot of work into these videos and I want to thank you for that. If I had a corsair I would probably go explore as much as possible with my friends, And I would not be doing that many legal things haha...
I loved the cinematic route you took with this! Really sold the theme of the video.
Love the vids man, recently started playing and really enjoy you picking the ships apart even more than I do! Was honestly debating doing architecture but went into biomed! Keep up the great work!
I absolutely love this ship. IMO, with the metallic paint, the design language, the back story, and the top exit, this is actually the closest you can get to a millenium falcon in the SC universe.
I love how you refer to this as a ship filled with narrative design, lovingly detailed sailingship references, and a ship fitt for the movies, especially since it's (in my opinion) inspired by the design of the Firefly esthetics ❤️
As a 3D modeler and Creative Director of a smal gamestudio in northern Sweden(Cold Sector AB) we have made it a habit, me and my team, to do both team building exercises, as well as "alpha testing research" a weekly thing in Star Citizen. A way for us to strengthen our communication through gaming, community building, and a fun way to experience both game and modelling design in real time.
If we won this ship, it would be the centrepiece of our team in more than one way. We would feel truely honoured to be soaring the winds of the verse in something a fellow gamecontet creator gifted our humbe studio.
Thank you for your awesome videos M!
I can see myself exploring and hauling cargo with my Corsair. Thank you for all of your informative videos. Helps keep me up to date with Star Citizen. Much appreciated keep up the great videos.
Came to say I enjoyed the video and always look for yours first when I really want the best tour of whatever ship I'm interested in. Giveaway or no giveaway, I really enjoy the content!
Cheers!
Excellent job, once again Morphologis! As an explorer, this ship is going to be used to head towards the farthest reaches of the system with all the equipment and supplies necessary for an extended trip. No stopping for restroom breaks on this trip!
I really LOVE the look of the Corsair! I really could see doing some light, long term exploration on this ship. I know a ton of people look at it as a pirate ship, but it feels like a classic exploration schooner, just heading out to see what's out there! Thanks for the awesome look at an awesome ship!
Man, alive this ship is gorgeous. I used to want the Star Runner for my interstellar diasporas, but I think Corsair has taken the cake. From the super analog/rustic interior to the asymmetrical exterior to the gimmicky co-pilots seat. It has everything I love, and it's definitely a ship I could see myself and my mates enjoying as we cruise the systems, looking for "work." 10/10 video Morph! Well done.
Your 1 of 2 SC creators who I actively go to when a ship drops or changes happen to get your thoughts & pov! Been loving the content & its always pulling me back for more!
For me, the Corsair seems like a perfect vessel for just sailing the stars and giving you the feeling of being able to jump into whatever you want to do the second it comes to you mind. Want to go cross system? Well you can put an xl1 in it and you're practically there already. Want to blow something up? Well boy does it have that covered, honestly what do I even need to say here. This ship just feels like it can do anything to me, while carrying that amazing drake aesthetic, and I love that soft yellow lighting. I really hope I get a chance soon to take this out with a buddy or two or even solo, it really seems like an amazing ship worthy of it's amazing name. Usually I don't participate in these giveaways cause I know the odds of a random chance, but boy I could write for hours to just have a chance at the thing lol
As an engineer the way things move out of the way or open and close, it makes it so realistic, love it
I love watching your videos. it's great to see an architect's view on the design of the most detailed ships I have ever seen in a video game.
Idk if it’s intentional or not but your ship reviews feel like a car and driver segment and I love it!
I do like how Drake ships don't shy away from this industrial feel for them. It definatly feels like a ship to go out and sail the high seas. Can sure imaginve exploring in this ship and after some time going to the roof of it to have a smoke break.
I usually don't enjoy asymmetrical designs but this one is something else. It's spectacular and just like I unexpectedly like it I would love to do things unexpected for this ship - all the good things ;) Though it is clearly something of 'I solely swear I'm up to no good' sort.
I have a friend who have this ship already and we had a group of 3 players doing basic missions and explaning more advanced stuff and i gotta say it really feels like it's a ship that can tackle all kind of missions and with room for everyone it really felt like we lived in it when we were quantam traveling. My favourite is when we located a crashed ship and discovered a real player body hidden among the reck in the mission and we too everyone and everthing in the bay of our ship and contacted global incase that person was still in the server. This ship and the starrunner are both hero-like story ships you usually get in sci fi shows. Love it.
I love the lift going to the top like a ladder towards the top of a sail boat for a panoramic view. Pretty neat.
The Corsair is truly an iconic vessel. Personally, I love Drake's aesthetic because of the "no-frills" design. Like you said, it looks "put together" and I love it. I'm super happy to have one of these, and between this and a Caterpillar, I feel there's nothing I can't do out in the verse.
I love the asymmetrical sailboat look, I honestly just want to live in this ship and explore the universe, but I can definitely see it being used as a pirate vessel. Keep up the great content morphologist!
CIG are really starting to get it done with these ship designs/implementations. With each of these new releases the game gets stepped up and half of the systems aren't even in yet. A fave for sure, can't wait to get one.
Fairly new to star citizen with a few friends that have been helping me along this new little adventure. One of my friends has told me time and again that his favorite ship is the corsair, and when we had more crew, we planned to use it as our primary ship. As a newer player, I have little experience as to what I would do with a ship like this (except maybe piracy) but I know my friends certainly would.
Much love for the videos, they definitely help a newbie pilot finding what ship to find as his main vessel.
The asymmetry is everything to me, this ship sparks the beginning of non-standard or non-formulaic design. I'm highly excited to see what CIG can come up with in this direction.
Personally this ship would be my 'solo Carrack', not too big to land anywhere, not too small to feel constricted. I especially love that the ship feels lived in ❤️
This ship is uniquely beautiful and I hope more like it come out, I want to see how long I can drag the lower wing across the dunes of Daymar before I explode
If I had one, I'd be all about the multi crew exploration. Such a cool ship. Great video!
I've really been enjoying all your videos. Keep up the good work! What u really look forward to doing in SC if the gameplay really allows it is getting a crew together in a medium to large ship and just go out exploring new solar systems and planets - trying to chase that Star Trek vibe hahaha
Love the videos Morphologis I love hearing the passion you have for the details, one of my favourite details is the slight bounce the big wings have when they unfold due to the mass x inertia on the corsair almost as if you raising the sail and that first gust of wind its it.
I would love to use the corsair to explore and take scenic shots but until they add that feature I would plan on using it to capture my bounty's dead until we can take em alive mwahaha.
Glad I'm not the only one who appreciated the wobble. It gives the ship a sense of presence you don't often see in video games. Also very appropriate for a Drake design, where "good enough" is good enough.
The Corsair is by and far the best looking Drake ship I’ve seen. I could really see it being an incredible blockade runner, charging straight at a bunch of ships, destroying anything in its path, and going straight past any defenses. Amazing interior for her size too! I’d love to see the Constellation series get a rework to be at this standard.
I just love the Drake ships. And I am glad they kept the asymmetrical design. Such an awesome outcome!
I would love to explore this beautiful universe with my friends in this ship. It looks amazing and would give our crew lotts of new opportunitys.
The Corsair reminds me of the Twilight from the clone wars, a perfect example of "The Hero's ship". If I had the Corsair I have to get my friends together and just cruise the verse. I feel like its the perfect step up from the cutty as a real multi crew ship. Been looking forward to this Architect Review.
One of the Ships that caught my eyes instantly when i first saw it. I would love to have great adventures with my friends in it someday
This ship looks amazing! Honestly I just want to explore the world of star citizen with this thing. Watching your videos is the closest I get to playing the game. Keep it up!
Always love your perspective on ship design.
As much as it would be fun to pirate in this thing, I think it also has a lot of potential as a temporary operating base on the ground. The fact that it’s highly defendable when landed means you could occupy a position and hold it for some time… Lots of potential, and lots to think about! Fantastic video as always!
It sure surprised me how neat this ship is. inside and out. Never gave it much thought before.
Always love these videos. Almost never going out of style, I’d run a pirate crew out of pyro of course!
Love this ship so much, our crew would definitely make use of one exploring the verse.
I'm a new player and I gotta say this is my fav ship in the game. I've currently got the little cutter which I adore, but if I had a corsair I would do everything I can't do in the cutter! I'd be especially excited for the multicrew aspect, becuase I don't have a ship that can do that. Your coverage of the ship was very enjoyable, and has made me even more hyped to pilot it.
what specs u got? I see a lot of people say they run this game on 60fps at most even with a beefy computer.
The Corsair is such an excellent exploration ship, it almost becomes its own base of operations for ground operations. A great small crew adventure platform!
I love the ruggedness of the Drake ships. Just built for a purpose, and that purpose is never comfort. lol. I started as an Architecture student years ago and your channel brings back memories of those classes.
Love this ship so much! Asymmetry is difficult but they nailed it, every time I watch this video I find new things to love about the Corsair
I see myself being violently ejected from the Stanton-Pyro wormhole and lost for eternity in persistence in a Corsair. I also see myself moving the wings up and down because _look at the animations_
edit: Much love, Morphologis
Awesome ship! It reminds me a bit of the the Star Wars B-Wing starfighter, and the Mantis like he described in Jedi Fallen Order.
there is also the Old Republic Trouper Ship that has the same moving wings on the left side
The sound design inside it is also excellent and I hope CIG keep this up and update older ships to this level
This is an awesome ship. Thanks for the detailed reviews!
Personally this ship would be my daily driver and used for pretty much anything and everything. i got the chance to fly in one and felt the Mandalorian. The way this ship feels like it's been used before and doesnt have that "fresh off the showroom" feel after youve run missions in it makes it feel like "your ship" and not ust some ship in a game and i love that myself!
I have been hyped for this review for a long time, cant wait to watch it
Beautiful, just beautiful! Ever since I saw it, I have loved it. Your great video lets you really see it! I am already subscribed, but if I'm selected, I will enlist all of the members of my family to travel in it to the reaches of Stanton and beyond! Thanks, Morphologis!
Absolutely loved this video!!
The Corsair looks like tons of fun to play with. Its design is awesome!
YES YES YES YES
FINALLY
Exactly my reaction 😂
Gull wings (on the corsair) were also inspired by the Vaught Corsair's design. Which was a famous naval fighter plane of WW2.
Edit: If I had this ship, I would use it to explore the cargo holds of other ships...
Gull wings. And they were around before Vaught did them.
@Demonic Squid I heard a dev say on a video it was inspired by the plane, not that it was the first or not. I have clarified above just for you.
Love the ship. It’s slight imperfections are what make it just that much cooler to me.
Great video! Wonderful showcase of the Corsair. If I had this beauty, I'd taker her with a full crew on a choir cruise, singing "What shall we do with a drunken sailor" and other sea shanties, docking at different places and inviting folks to join.
The ship looks amazing. Being able to bring friends along when running missions while still extremely capable solo. It's one of the best all around ships out there.
Lacking of speed and therefore easily gankable. For now SC in a developing state with vanilla players, but when it becomes widespread, there will be ton of gankers groups with Mantis and ships like Corsair will be easy target for them
@@danyagamingone explain pls, the same can be said for the Constellation, Hercules and Carack.
So what's your point, you're not expressing yourself, well.
@@timsgta 400i for example 😉 why you mention only slow and easy targets like corsair?
Mercury Star Runner also very safe ship, unless it get caught standing still.
Both ships I mentioned have high speed ( >1200 m/s) and therefore, cant be caught easily
@@danyagamingone I only mentioned slow and easy targets like the Corsair because YOU mentioned the corsair, your first sentence literally referred to the Corsair slow speed, ffs bro keep up with the conversation. There was no need to mention the 400i and MSR bc they can outrun a lot of gankers. I obviously mentioned the ones I did bc they are slow like the Corsair and thus easier targets for gankers with faster ships, like you said. I honestly have no idea where the context of what you said and my reply lost you.
@@danyagamingone and now you're changing your tune, you were talking about corsair and the lack of speed, now you change to fast ships when my reply to you was about slow ships, you are confusing af!
Haven't been a fan of asymmetrical ships in the past, but this looks incredible. Can definitely see myself taking part in some commerce with this ship. Namely, hostile takeovers.
> Stick a hammock in the engineering bay and an air mattress in the cargo hold. That covers your marine and your grease monkey!
> If it were my call, I'd make it so that different guns can be wired to different control stations. That way the main pilot chair can focus more on flight (with a couple of shooters) while the lower deck controls ALL of the pyrotechnics. That way the control layout could be tailored to suit the crew's preferences.
I find it amazing and funny how you're the reason I went into architecture and now I'm a second year
In terms of what I'd do with this beauty- I'd simply take it out to the fringe; live on the edge of civilization. Everything about it just appears to make it beg to be taken out on a spontaneous journey deep into the black with no idea of when or if you'll be coming back home, because well- it IS your home. Every part of this beautiful machine's design just screams 'the spirit of adventure', and I adore that. The classical naval influences blended into Drake's signature ruggedness just speaks to the soul and I love everything about it.
This sounds like a ship that would be so cool to go explore stuff with my friends. Especially since none of us really has flown something this big yet.
You and your mates can fly mine if you want?
I love your content. It’s a shame to hear there’s a ton of people that don’t make it through 1/2 the video. I guess it’s a testament to the short atten- ooh shiney! What was I talking about? Heheh. I don’t intent on playing the game, but I really do enjoy watching what you and others in the community do in the ‘Verse. Keep up the good work.
The Corsair is awesome. A home in space. Thank you for a great review Morph! Will be back for more
The design of this ship has always been one of my favorites. My group and I have always kept an eye on it but haven't decided if it was worth it yet. Maybe it's time to have a serious conversation with them and just get it!
As a corsair owner myself, I'd say go for it if you like it! Its a very versatile ship even with the poor atmo handling. Heard its improved in 3.18 tho
As a mechanical engineer, I love that you also include the mechanical functions of the ship as well as the architectural analysis! Helps to get a wholistic view and appreciation of the ship!
As for what I would use the Corsair for, I would love to get into exploration/sightseeing around the many planets and moons. Like the sail ships of old, this ship seems very inviting for those willing to take it out for a spin! Also the insane firepower comes in handy too!
Always love the content, keep being awesome!
The more I look at this ship, the more I fall in love with it and all its unsymetrical analogy ways lol
This seems like a great ship to explore unknown areas of the verse. It would be amazing to have this ship.
I really like that this is one of the few ships that lets you step onto the actual ships plating, I wish more ships had this sort of access. As for what I'd do with it, grand space adventures with friends, of course, that's more likely to be space shenanigans and people die-ing in hilarious ways.
I believe in my PERSONAL opinion this is the best ship design that the game has to offer so far when it comes to having one that is not too big and yet offer great mobility. even the inspiration for starwars ships is a great plus to the image of the ship. The interior is extremly detailed for 100% immersion as it is a space sim game, I think they have done a wonderful job with completing this magnificent beast. I would take this ship on a JOY-RIDE around the horizon any planet to vibe into some space cowboy music waiting to hunt some outlaws.
Awesome review Morphologis. What I would do with the Drake?! Well I would use it as a jack of all trade for exploration. But one thing I would do for sure -> dry my hair with the fan spinning by the pilot seat.
what a great Review, thx for all the work!
This ship is amazing. I would love to fly this ship with my friends who are just getting into the game.
I thought the SAME thing about the Mantis in Falling Order! I do hope they fix the issues with the lights. (I'd think the mess hall area should have plenty of light, like the Caterpillar's area (which I hope will eventually get a light switch for switching when the crew is sleeping or eating). I like the ship. I like the aesthetics of Drake ships, both in and out.
oh men you are the main SC content creator i watch and the only one i actively show to my friends, to analyse the ships designs with an architectural point of view it's so refreshing, i belive this ship it's and awsome example and indicator of what the game has learned after all these years, their designs evolving and getting so complex over the time, i'll absolutely PvE the hell of this ship and do some legal cargo claims with my friends, if you catch my meaning, fantastic video as always and pardon all and any mistake i made, english isn't my mother tongue
Love the breakdown on the ship!! Would definitely try to run a crew and test out the in flight damage output in some bounty missions!!
