How are you planning to make the most out of the galaxy's latest multirole ship's straight-line speed and large cargo capacity? Alongside our reward asking you for stylish videos and screenshots of the Gutamaya Corsair, we want to know how best to outfit it! There are two ways to enter this reward, each with different prize values:
You could enter with a video, talking through your build, for a $10 prize.
You could enter with a social media post that includes a ship outfitting link for a $4 prize. If you enter this way, be sure to contextualise your social media post with extra info or hashtags for those who discover it outside of Just. It's not essential, but we'd love it if you added further info here on Just too.
However you decide to enter, be sure that the purpose of your build is clear and well-explained. Don't just tell us how you're outfitting/engineering it, but tell us why it works. Bonus points if you get creative with an unconventional purpose!

"Nomen est omen" and that's why a Corsair serves very well as a pirate ship! 😉
Speed, firepower, good defense stats and a cargo-hold large enough to bring along some limpets and to feed starving pirate kids at home for months...
Build around the most essential weapon in a piracy scenario, the so called rocket propelled containment missiles, generally known as "Grom bombs", to disrupt any attempt to jump away before a trade is arranged...
Along comes a battery of frag cannons, way to strong for this kind of operation, but any warning-shot with them should be understood at once. And if not, there is a rebuy-option should the worst case happen and a salvo hit...
Same goes for two Pack-Hound-missile launchers, whose primary effect is as well supposed to be frightening the victims. Or, just in case, take out modules bypassing any kinetic defenses just by their numbers...
Concerning internals, there are enough options to balance modules according to personal demands, be it more cargo or less hull. Additionally, with her standard boost speed of 600 and a distro found at much larger ships usually, should provide enough energy not only to stop the prey, but to get out quickly and unharmed, in case something goes wrong or security forces show up...
And above all that, the dangerous look that will let any victim drop their weapons even before a shot is fired...
Thanks for the entry Jimmy0916 / Cmdr Donald Duck. This is very almost there, but can I point you to this part of the reward description and request a little extra info?
"However you decide to enter, be sure that the purpose of your build is clear and well-explained. Don't just tell us how you're outfitting/engineering it, but tell us why it works."
We're just looking for a couple of sentences about what makes it a good pirating build, so that others who see it are more likely to replicate your build and give it a whirl.
Thanks for the update Jimmy0916 / Cmdr Donald Duck, but rather than the insertion of the EDSY link, it was an explanation of the outfitting that we're looking for. In other words, what about your choice of modules makes this a good build for piratical activities?
⛏️ Frontier Developments continues to expand the ship roster in Elite Dangerous, and the latest addition is the Gutamaya Corsair. As the first medium-class ship from Gutamaya, the Corsair has drawn significant attention due to its impressive specifications and its claim as a true successor to the Imperial Clipper. But how does it compare to existing mining ships? 🚀 This Video : ➤Link:
Variant 2 ( Autodocking e Burst Laser Ingeneered and Bi-wawe Shield)
Variant 3 ( Autodocking e Burst Laser Ingeneered and Prismatic Shiedl)
Variant 4 ( Autodocking e 1 Burst Laser Ingeneered and Beam Laser)
the ship mounts a FSD SCO grade A with Jump Range and Mass Manager that allows you to reach the system where you need to collect resources with as few jumps as possible
the Power Plant and the Thrusters are also grade A and allow for excellent efficiency of the ship both in terms of energy generation and speed
from the Optionals point of view the ship mounts 2 Limpet controller modules allowing to launch 6 Limpets that reach up to 1.56 KM away all with 4 launchable mining Limpets with a distance of 5 KM.
A refinery to refine materials and a Shield Generator of class 5A that can be replaced by the 5C Bi-Wawe or the Prismatic Shield depending on your preferences.
As for the Hardpoints, the ship is equipped with 3 Medium Minning Laser Fixed 2D and 1 Large Minning Laser 2D fixed and 2 Large Burst Laser Fixed 3E, this way you can hit asteroids much more easily and more comfortably than with the turret model.
Burst Lasers engineered with efficiency and inertial impact to do much more damage
for the utility mount instead the issue is different I put a Heat sink Launcher there to manage the ship's heat
1 shield booster and 1 point defense in case the ship is attacked by some missile.
obviously I left an empty slot where you can add a module as you like
As for the hold, I inserted 3 Cargo Rack 6E modules which give 64 tons of hold for a total of 198 tons of space
now let's see the pros and cons of this build
since the Corsair is a multi-role ship also suitable for trade, it is possible to adapt the ship for that role too, making the appropriate changes
PRO
Easy to maneuver
Ship temperature not too high
a fair amount of Limpet
basic mining ship
CONS
high cost and many resources needed to engineer the modules
Hold capacity 198 Tons
lack of Fuel Scoop to go long distances
Insurance cost in case the ship is destroyed is 10 Million unless you have Power Play bonuses
So we all know and love our newest member of the fleets; The Corsair. Not only does this build bring up its overall speed, but for some of us, its a great way to mine since it can do the job of more than 1 ship type.
She can laser, she can core, and she can blast sub surface deposits with ease with her small size and agile way of her. 600+ speed to get away from those pesky pirates that dont have a life and if they managed to even bring your shields down, the prismatics would fix that easily. Collcetor limpets are abundant and plenty. cargo is 192 which is more than enough for a nice merit run. even if you wanted to, you could run this build as a mining and PP build, run around and cause mayhem with it, troll some pirates with those mining lasers and fill your hold with the souls of the damned when the system security destroys them.
Overall, great ship and great build even for the beginners out there. even without engineering its still a great build.
This ship has some problems with overheating, but with just Multi-Cannons and Beam Lasers, you are safe, just some heat sink its necessary. And this ship can handle all the power! Without exceeding the power generation, there is no necessity of managing the power priority, at least with this setup. xD This is to have fun, make some courier missions, do some bounty hunting, collect some materials, and enjoy the trip. =)
Spripped guns, lightweight everything, rookie friendly. While assembling this build, I learned how a seamless setup can still work (even when the power is slightly over the limit). The trick is assigning the planetary vehicle hangar a lower power priority, so it stays offline most of the time. But as soon as you land, the thrusters power down, freeing up enough energy for the hangar to activate. You’re then able to deploy your SRV without any manual toggling. Once you're done and lift off, the thrusters take priority again, and the hangar automatically powers down. Efficient and effortless.
The idea of the build is a trade ship to fight your interdictors. Engineered for max speed, a little shield but bi-weave and shield boosters for more resistances. Distributor on fast charge, and 6 gimballed fragment cannons. The idea is that you can trade at least 300t, your shileld sould last a ram at top speed and your fragment cannons, double shot, should do the rest. Go and fill your ship with colonization commodities, and on your trip back, if some pirate stand in your way just boost and shotgun it hehehehe. Really fun and should one shot any pirate. Have fun and fly as safe as possible =P Sorry for my bad English!!!
With the corsair's plentiful internals, it's easy to outfit it to be a great miner. My build has 3 5A collector limpet controllers, and 136T cargo. The memorability allows it to easily orbit asteroids for core mining, and the 7A distro can easily cope with the 4 mining lasers.
This build has two applications for the more demanding and works phenomenally in them, like any new generation ship. This new ship is considered good in everything but for me both in terms of appearance and piloting it was created for combat, I really like the window located just above my head it gives me the opportunity to see my opponent a little faster and such differences can sometimes mean a lot.
Hi St4r_Lord. This is almost there, but can I point you to this part of the reward description:
"However you decide to enter, be sure that the purpose of your build is clear and well-explained. Don't just tell us how you're outfitting/engineering it, but tell us why it works."
