The Gladiator is one of my favorite ships and it is so unfortunately dated. We have the chance to make CIG remember it and bring it up to standard.  Maybe even give it the modularity that the ship is supposed to have. Be it the bomb bay, the size 5 missiles on the wings, the cargobay/tractor beam turret refit. 

Its such an amazing ship visually, has one of the best damage models I've seen, and can deal out a significant amount of damage, and get you home under fire with how durable it is. Its a joy to fly, and it is great for anything from bunkers to VHRTs, even ERTs if you don't mind reloading.

Once again the 'verse gathers to nominate its 16 favorite vehicles with incredible and creative submissions, ranging from artistic murals and cinematic masterpieces to home-brewed crafts and insanely catchy musical renditions. All of this helps secure 16 vehicles a place in a super-intense single-elimination tournament of champions to determine the undisputed fan favorite of the moment, and earning it a permanent place in the annals of vehicular veneration. Fans and pilots of the final four combatants also rejoice as all four semi-finalists are treated to celebratory special-edition paint jobs and accessories themed after those vehicles deemed the best-of-the-best.

Ship Showdown

Every year the Community gathers to nominate its 16 favorite vehicles in the 'verse, securing each a place in a super-intense single-elimination tournament of champions to determine the undisputed fan favorite, at least until next year.

Ship Showdown 2953

Gladiator

Lets get CIG to remember that the Gladiator exists. Its a wonderful ship, and has been severely neglected by CIG. Its got one of the best damage models in the game, packs a punch, highly durable, and just looks amazing. 

Gladiator for BIS 2953! Make CIG remember it!
