With all due respect NEXUS, planet Crete is abundant in natural resources such as metals for ship construction. It has scarce arable land for food though. A rumour on Crete says that they have plenty of building materials, and for the Outcasts its the opposite, i think. They have plenty of arable land, the majority of it used for growing Cardimine, while they lack natural resources to build larger ships. I really think the Corsairs need more ships, especially as they are the kind of heavy guys. The Titan is second only in armour to the Templar as far as i know, and this means that all Corsair ships should be big, with big guns and big armour, and rubbish maneuverability. The gunboat achieves this well. 8 gun slots, a massive target (comparatively) and high end armour, with sub-par maneuverability compared to some other gunboats.
The Huntress would be better if it were more versatile and not so hard to handle in rocks. Not to mention that it has two backward firing guns, which i hear is fixed in the Beta. Right now (in 4.83) I can beat a huntress on my own in a Titan. Its a pretty galling fact, seeing as in my eight gun BH destroyer i can take on two RTalons and win...
And the Osiris bucks the trend in Corsair ship design too. Low armour, high maneuverability and lower amounts of gun turrets. I'm not saying I don't like the Osiris, I am saying that it doesn't fit with my idea of how the Corsairs do business...or ship design rather.
