We are investigating an issue where some Gold Members may not have received their additional character slot -- details here.
UPDATE! We are also investigating reports of slow patching and are working on a resolution. For a better patch experience, please restart your launcher. It will pick up where it left off and should be faster to complete.

The Corsair Flight-deck Cruiser can mainly be described as BAD ***, looks just as lovely as it's little sister the Dacoit but has a more aggressive edge to it. However it has one or two rough edges that could do with fixing.
Lets start with the impressive bow, it has no deflector at all and there is horizontal windows running vertically up the Orion detailinghttp://i.imgur.com/aTeI2.jpg Adding in a deflector of some kind is a 'must' and the windows would look better horizontal on the bow it's self.
There is a minor glitch on the top of the ship when viewed from a 45 degree angle from the front http://i.imgur.com/C0lC5.jpg
On the sides of the ship there are Escape pods spoiling the lovely Orion detailing, odd red glow near the back and one of the Hanger bays it behind the outer hull....which makes it a bit pointless as any fighter leaving would smash right into the hull http://i.imgur.com/wnGpl.jpg
Now the ship it's self is awesome and the Tachyon probes are quite affective at ripping down NPCs shields, not so good in a target rich environment but awesome none the less, however they have a bad habit of not changing targets when a ship is disabled in some missions and will continue to fire keeping me in Red Alert unless I move out of weapons range and call them back(even though their firing animation is still active at nearly 20km).
Hope I don't come across as a picky whiner but I really love the new Orion Flight-deck Cruisers and want to see them looking perfect(sorry am told am a perfectionist), and hope the good CapnLogan can see how much I love his work
What Dodger says. I love the ship and its sleek lines, but the windows seem tacked on. Love the drones, though admittedly I don't use them as much as I'd like to.
I love the ship looks. It kind of reminds me of a rounded off Pillar of Autumn from Halo. However I wish the whole all klingon ships can use dual cannons applied to this ship as well. If I can slap dual heavies and even the quad cannons on the Vo' Quv then I should be able to put them on this ship. That is a bonus to the klingon ships they all have dual heavy cannon support. Could we see this as a fix in the future for the Corsair?
The corsair is quickly becoming, my favorite ship. She is beutiful, and flys much better than I was expecting. Thanks for giving us the test points to buy her and her little sister.
I am glad she cannot use the dual cannons. That should remain a staple of purely klingon ships, and not their orion allies. I have yet to try the pods that came with her, I will do that when I get home. I do wish there was an option to equip the orion interceptors, instead I am stuck with the standard klingon ones.
The pet controls are a welcome addition, and will finally add that missing element that carriers have been lacking.
I already want a refit version of this ship, and can't wait to user it on holodeck. IMO the corsair is shaping up to be amazing.
Pretty much what has been said so far. It's the most beautiful of ship designs I've seen in game, and I love the little girl Sadly as my KDF char is already LG on Tribble, it lacks the punch in STFs, and not being able to spec into her leaves me with less hull then I'd like. But in normal gameplay, it is a must have for anyone who wants to end up with the Marauder Patrol Cruiser in the end, as it teaches how to fly that one And the ability to carry over the tachyon drones is awesome. Too bad they don't launch from the Marauder for some reason :\ Oh and I urge everyone to get a Klingon Honor Guard engine on it, the new engine effect looks AWESOME on it

I have heard some reports about issues with the Tachyon Probes on the Marauder. Is it they won't launch without an enemy target, or they literally won't launch at all? We checked the data the other day quickly and it looked like it should have the right permissions...
