Original info from the "you pick the next drake ship" contest:

B. MULTI-CREW DRAKE EXPLORER (CODE NAME: CORSAIR)
Drake’s competitor to the Constellation, the rough and ready multi-crew explorer. Differs from the 600i by its crude basic construction and from the Constellation by its lower missile count, but with a third turret to make up for it. Able to transport a vehicle and cargo (think extended/up-scaled Cutlass rear area) faster and more nimble than the others, but like all Drake ships pretty paper thin.

If the walls are truly paper thin, then those that purchase 1 should stock up on TEST brand toilet paper to have the ability to patch the ship's skin paper mache style, but with a much better appearance. Or better yet, use beer residue in the paper mache mix to fully coat the outer skin in advance to thicken the skin & TESTify in the process.

OH crap. My finger got itchy while I was looking at the page and this happened. I haven't quite figured out what to name the one I can name.
that brings total ship count to 21, with two extra ground vehicles (one's the tank) too... so. I need a few more friends.

I'll be your friend.
that asymmetric wing design will be a bear to fly in atmosphere
Crap, I just saw that. I don't know why I was imagining it like an X-Wing. I like it a bit less. It's now a 9.5/10 for me.
Damn.

I doubt it will happen, look at the original Herald in its asymmetric glory and what happened to it.

That asymmetric design would be a bear to fly, that is true. Some of our ships should not fly in atmosphere, but they do. This is an exploration design, so like the Constellation. that should not fly in atmosphere either, it should spin like a top when climbing or turning. CIG is paying little attention to the physics that would otherwise kill over half their designs.
