@ McNeo: You have forgotten to mention the almighty Kraken II.
Also it would have been better to make a separate Thread.
My Corsair char doesn't care about OC equipment. Shall they have all the equipment they want. What i have, i'm pleased with.
Concerning the less armour of the Corsair Dread. It is smaller than the OC Dread and much better to handle.
Also the turrets are closer together, which is giving a better aiming.
The OC Battleship can shoot only 10 of its turrets forward and 8 backward and the Osiris is much smaller.
The Cruiser will get a update, to fire two more turrets backward at the same time. The OC Destroyer has 11 of its turrets on top, which is making it very vulnerable from downside to fighters and bombers.
Concerning fighters, the greatest difference is the pilot and not the stats. And for all Corsairs which do whine, shall they defect to OC's. I'm more concerned about Ivan Voronov. He is using a Ravons Talon and a Taiidan Bomber. The last one is an enemy vessel. He is no good example roleplaywise. Now try to explain a new corsair, why he can't have a Falcata.
Btw, i have chosen the Centurion for better agility. Its an underestimated fighter.
