' Wrote:The hitbox for the Gladiator is just about skintight. I'll grant you that those huge fins make the thing too easy to hit, but I suppose that's the price you pay for having a razor and CD on a single craft. Not sure about the shield bubble, I'll have to look into it for that ship, and a lot of others. But that is low priority.
You know I really though you pay for cd slot with 2x class 8 guns. Obviuosly I was wrong. Class 10 guns are no longer as useful as they used to be, so argument that has pretty much same firepower just because higher class would be quite a weak one.
Anyway. I can't see how having a razor and cd on the ship is so uber pwnsome that everything else in the ship should pretty much suck. Saying that such ship is on par with all other hf's is same as saying that authistic person is on par with everyone else because he's better with numbers. Thing is - he's a retard and needs help. While you deny by pushing the "better at counting" nonsense.
These ships are underused. And there is a reason why they are underused - they suck and need improvment. You won't see pvp whores with those ships in conn, you won't see them ingame. Unless it's a guy who doesn't yet have a clue or someone who flies it for looks.
And if there would be "special way to fly" believe me, regular conn pew pew participants would have figured it out by now. Even if there is one it doesn't compensate for seriuos drawbacks ship has in attack power, hitpoints and manouvering.
