Well, I would like to bring this thread back to life, since there is many people that are disappointed by the Paladin, and want any change that would actually make it useful.
As mentioned before, its roughly the same size as Templar, while being much more fragile. Compared to other HFs, its completely useless. Greyhound is small while having bigger powerplant and 10class slots, Gladiator is quite the same, except it has CD and ordinary powerplant. Paladin is huge, and average in all other stats.
Even properly flown Chimaera, which is a VHF and thus shouldnt be able to effectively keep up with it in a chase, can bring it down even while not jousting. End of the last KNF event shown this well.
I have fought in it and against it many times. I think Im one of the few who still keep it and believe it can get better :D Its usefullness in a group fight ends when it gets targeted, unlike some other HFs which get killed last because it takes some time.
So please, could it finally be at least resized to some reasonable size? Thanks
