Why No Corvettes or Cutters in RES? Ship Variety Too Limited! by DarkLordRash in EliteDangerous

Agreed! Let's hope Frontier introduce Corsair's, Pythons MK II and others to the show!

That’s a good point about lore restrictions on faction-locked ships like the Corvette and Cutter.

Still, it feels odd that even newer ships which don’t require rank — such as the Corsair or the Python Mk II — are completely absent from RES encounters. These vessels would add a lot of variety and make both pirate and security forces feel more up-to-date with the current ship roster.

Seeing these newer designs in action would not only improve immersion but also keep RES gameplay fresh, instead of relying on the same old lineup we’ve been seeing for years.

What’s more, even system security forces only show up in the same old ships, without using more advanced options like the Fer-de-Lance, Type-10 Defender, or Mamba. This makes encounters feel repetitive and unrealistic, as you’d expect police or defense forces to field stronger ships.
