Some ships are self-sustaining and meant to operate out on their own, and some are designed to work in tandem with other ships. Where does the Corsair fall? Can a small crew go out there and hold their own?
TL;DRIt's built for one to four people on a medium-length expedition, with living quarters, galley and supplies, sitting between the long-duration Carrack and the less self-sufficient Cutlass.
Yeah, like the ships in this sort of category, it's those one to four people going out for a medium-term expedition. It's got everything you need on board. You've got your own little living quarters. It's got a shared galley and relaxation area. It's got space for supplies and the cargo hold and spares. It's not going to be that long-term duration like the Carrack, where it has all the bells and whistles. But it's also not going to be as short-term as some of the smaller explorers like the Terrapin, where yes, it can go out for an extended period of time, but ultimately it's a one-person ship. There's only so much you can cover with one person, which is where these come in. The Cutlass is probably the next logical downgrade, I guess, from this. It's got space for two people. It's got two beds. Fine. But it doesn't really have the onboard living accommodation to sustain them. It's got no toilet, which everyone always complains about. There's only so long you can go without the toilet.
