Elite Dangerous rolled out a new update on April 8, 2025, and with it came a brand-new ship: the Gutamaya Corsair. The vessel has an incredibly sleek new look, with two pre-built designs available for players to purchase in-game. Frontier Developments even created a website to show off the vehicle, similarly to how a car manufacturer would hype up one of their new designs.
Elite Dangerous is one of the premier space games, especially if you enjoy sandbox exploration. Apart from the release of the Gutamaya Corsair, its latest update also introduced a wealth of bug fixes and a selection of Issue Tracker fixes.
The Gutamaya Corsair is available for purchase in the latest update for Elite Dangerous
The Gutamaya Corsair can now be purchased, thanks to the latest Elite Dangerous update named after the vessel. This is the first new ship of the year in the game.
The Gutamaya Corsair is a medium multi-role ship and could be the successor to the Imperial Clipper. Whether at low or high speeds, this vessel handles smoothly, thanks to the Size 7 thrusters — the first medium ship to do so.
Players can purchase the Gutamaya Corsair at two price points.
The Gutamaya Corsair Standard is available for 16,520 ARX, and the Gutamaya Corsair Stellar is available for 33,000 ARX.
You can find the specs for this new ship below. You can also see some customizations of it on the official game website.
