I'm so glad they fixed up the corsair a bit... The previous nerf was ridiculous.
Although they really should make it so that the copilot doesn't remove control from the S4's if they are using the remote turret (like it used to be).
Still, it's nice to see a few other ships getting some love so that the pilot can make use of an extra turret or two as well.
I'm just happy SC is finally getting some quality of life and content updates. All those years of being left with a skeleton crew so CR could focus on his space opera were kinda exhausting to be honest. I just want to rescue people without having to worry about getting yeeted out of existence by a bottle falling over on the other side of the universe.
It really feels like this drive to improve player experience brought back some hope after the last few years of unfulfilled promises and constant overhyping by CIG. It was severely needed.
