| − | ==Description==
| |
| − | Originally an unreliable [[Aerospace Fighter]] developed in the wake of the [[Amaris Civil War]], the ''Corsair'' has been improved over time to be a reliable and safe craft. Most of the [[Star League]] era production facilities were located in [[House Davion]] controlled space, and is seen mostly in [[Federated Suns]] units, although both [[House Marik]] and [[House Kurita]] fly variants.

| | | | |
| − | ==Armament==
| + | * [[Corsair (Aerospace Fighter class)|''Corsair'' (Aerospace Fighter class)]], designed immediately after the Amaris Civil War |
| − | Geared towards short range combat, the ''Corsair'' carries a Marshall [[Medium Laser]] in each wing, with two Exostar [[Small Laser]]s and two Exostar [[Large Laser]]s filling the nose. For coverage to the stern, the remaining two Exostar [[Small Laser]]s are mounted to the rear to discourage attack from there.
| + | * [[Corsair (BattleMech)|''Corsair'' (BattleMech)]], the apocryphal 95-ton BattleMech design from the Periphery |
| | + | * [[Corsair (moniker)|''Corsair'' (moniker)]], the Periphery term referring to [[Heavy 'Mech|heavy]]- and [[Assault 'Mech|assault]]-class [[FrankenMech]]s |
| | | | |
| − | ==Variants==
| |
| − | * CSR-V12B - Almost identical to the V14 variant, this version removes the standard weaponry and replaces it with two nose mounted [[ER Large Laser]]s, a nose mounted Medium Laser, and a [[Medium Pulse Laser]] in each wing. It also mounts fifteen double heat sinks. BV (2.0) = 1,388<ref>''Record Sheets: Operation Klondike'', p. 85</ref>
| |
| | | | |
| − | * CSR-V12M - A [[House Marik]] design, which replaces one of the [[Large Laser|Large Lasers]] with two more tons of armor and three additional heat sinks to help with the heat buildup of this energy weapon dependent craft. Also known as the ''Sand Hawk'' to [[House Kurita]] military units. BV (1.0) = 1,039<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 253</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,039
| + | {{disambig}} |
| − | | |
| − | * CSR-V14 - The V14 was introduced during the early 3050s, which consisted of a simple refit of the standard ''Corsair''. The craft's Large Lasers are exchanged for [[ER Large Laser|Extended-Range Large Lasers]]. Also as a part of the re-design, its heatsinks were upgraded to double capacity. The upgrade came in the form of a refit kit for House Davion ''Corsairs'' and had completely replaced all vintage ''Corsairs'' by the start of the [[FedCom Civil War]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 200 - "Variants".</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,259<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 254</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,330
| |
| − | | |
| − | * CSR-V18 - An upgrade of the V14 design, this variant was introduced during the early portion of the [[Jihad]]. In addition to the fighter's ER Large Lasers, the craft has been given a pair of [[Light PPC|Light PPCs]]. Its forward mounted Small Lasers are removed, while its rear facing ones are upgraded to [[ER Small Laser|Extended Range Small Lasers]]. The craft's armor has been exchanged for [[Heavy Ferro-Aluminum]]. It now carries seventeen double heat sinks. BV (1.0) = 1,127<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 255</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,127
| |
| − | | |
| − | * CSR-V20 - This is a variant introduced by [[House Davion]] during the Succession Wars. It replaces the Medium Lasers and Small Lasers with an [[SRM-6]] system and ammo. It is typically seen in the Davions' [[42nd Avalon Hussars|Avalon Hussars 42nd Regiment]]. BV (1.0) = 986<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 256</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,112
| |
| − | | |
| − | * CSR-X12 ''Corsair'' - Developed under the auspices of the RIGID NIGHT project, this ''Corsair'' variant uses an [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] [[XXL Engine]] to provide approximately 50% more speed than the standard CSR-V12. The existing weapons systems are replaced with [[Clan]] produced pulse lasers: Two [[Small Pulse Laser]]s cover the rear, while another pair of Small Pulse Lasers and four [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s fire forward. The weight savings from the XXL engine allowed engineers to add an extra five tons of standard armor. BV (2.0) = 2,000<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Davion'', p. 12</ref>
