One of the first ships I bought. Still one of my favs. Back in the day I'd planned on refitting a mining laser and ore container into the ship before CIG changed their mind on that stuff. But still keep it because it is just so pretty.

[JakobxD]

I'm curious if cig still knows this ship exists.

[julopabene]

The Gladiator is great and I never forgot about it, but it's one of those ships that are great lookers overall except for exactly one feature: The turret.
In the original concept, the turret was this Y-Wing like remote turret with a slim profile and fitting perfectly with the blocky aesthetic of Anvil. But then they gave it this blob of spherical glass with that fishbowl turret and I think it just completely disturbed the design flow. I hope it gets a visual overhaul that gets the turret back to the original look, especially now that we have remote turrets that work. Also implementing that modularity they talked about would be nice.

One of the best looking ships in game. It has a very WWII Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bomber vibe to it.

[Psychobob]

I really appreciate how thorough and consistent you make these videos. I don't even care about this ship or most of the others but you still make them satisfying to learn about.

I would make the Gladiator more Rugged with Armor comparable to the Hornet. Also It's Missile payload should be enough to scare a single medium Ship like the Constellation Series. The Dish-Section should be used for optional components much like the Hornet line. Space for Scanning equipment or additional computing power for the missile guidance comes to mind. An Extended internal Quantum fuel tank or maybe even a housing for optional components like redundand shield generators. I'm ok with the low speeds and range as well as the limited pilot firepower which can be seen on many missile type ships.

The problem with this ship is that it is based on an old outdated concept that is no longer fit for purpose for the current game. It has been left behind as the game has evolved. It is a single player ship and the manned turret is useless. If it were replaced with an auto turret it might make it more appealing/viable.

Third ship I purchased.
First ship I melted.
Looks fantastic, but so does a hurst.
It’s closer to a coffin in practice.
For over a year we begged and begged CIG to give it some love.
Our cries fell upon deaf ears.

[aguspuig]

this video just made me more confident in my purchase of a hurricaine

[artsolano]

Gladiator needs a buff to range, radar, and turret. I love this ship. If flown right, it can be an effective dog fighter. It’s a great gunnery platform with its great pitch and yaw rates, and jerk ... it’s slides along like a hippo on skates making it challenging in tight areas

[TRAYBALL]

I’m sure as the pilot you used to be able to slave the turret? This was the first big ship I purchased after the LN and Avenger, I hardly use it but would never melt. Great content btw

[MikkoLehtovirta]

Gladiator is meant to be Carrier launched so limited range makes sense.

Now we jut have to wait what kind of changes CiG will do to the ship before we know if we keep it or use it as LTI token.

Radar size might be bit weird but at some point we are going to get full missile/torpedo rework so things might change then.

[ToitleInTime]

Needs a buff to be great. If there was a unique gimmick like a proprietary centre module being able to be swapped out for extra Q-fuel, Hydrogen fuel, longer target range, or an addition shield module, that would be amazing and add a lot of character. Another great boost would be for the turret to be slaved to the pilot, fixed only.

[jaybadhorse]

One consideration regarding its ability to take down larger target. Squadron sized elements could overwhelm a larger target and still be vulnerable to combat air patrols in keeping with the WWII theme. Great video.

[MrDreiPner]

Just got the Gladiator :) love the look too much

[JookySeaCpt]

Thanks for covering the old Gladiator. This is one of those ships that CIG has forgotten about.

[marcosalmendras]

This is the oldest ship in my fleet, and I love her! I agree, a size 2 radar would be nice.

[squirrellordsgaming]

I've worked for this one in previous patches. Finally got to try it out and I was not dissapointed. I love how it's an older ship that still works in the setting. I've killed NPC's and Players with this one. Surprisingly good with very smooth flight profile and handling. Don't underestimate this ship.

[xcd]

I don't play much anymore but your videos are awesome man!

[FeriteKnight]

I actually love the Gladiator, but mostly because of how it looks.
