A couple of things. I do like this story and way to RP it to the end.
First; when your ship blows up, change it.
Second; Don't use Corsair guns, that would just be very uncool. RP it as the Corsairs not trusting you enough with their top-of-the-line tech.
Third; All Outcasts are genetically dependent on Cardimine. After hundreds of years of being immersed in it, Cardi has warped their genetic structure so that even Outcasts born off-planet are addicted. And bad things (Mon'Star) happens when you try to change that.
