Let's not forget, that Corsairs made to Crete not by bicycles. They had crafts, which were able to fly throught atmosphere and land on unprepared surface. Even it were esc. pods, they can own every space craft we have. I doubt, that we could be able to perform something like this on space shuttle, where a mistake of few degree, in descending trajectory could cause ship to burn. Im not even talking about landing somewhere but not runway.
So, it's obviouse, that our tech sux, compared to their.

Yes, can't disagree, corsairs were in some kind of isolation, but they didn't turned into wilders, and they understood, how to control Schulman's ships, and...... folowing logic, in time, they could build something similar, and even more advanced.

Another point: When Corsairs were pirating, same with Outcasts, they would proable find something usefull from wrecks of ships.
Just think- parts, which haven't been affected by explosion, and survived attack. This can give great potential in science of materials, engineering and so on.
(off topic, sry, but guys, Corsairs are even cooler that Kushans from Homeworld!)
