UPDATE: 6/26/22 - As of 3.17.2 The Blades plasma cannons were adjusted to now have 1400 m/s. This is offset by then having a higher capacitor cost. So basically it holds the same amount of damage in the energy magazine as the gladius. (this is technically a debuff, but its bullets are a lot faster now.) Also the Blade now has better forward boost thrust than the Gladius, but the Gladius has better lateral boost.

Easy on the backhanded comments directed at the Origin owners there…. Esperia “collectors” are almost a more exclusive crowd, considering the rarity / scarcity of replica alien craft (and the financial costs of the associated “Alien tax”. It’s just that Origin owners totally understand that one could fly a spaceship without fine leather upholstered seats and a basic coffee maker onboard, we just question why anyone would want to…. Peasants. ;)

Great video as always! With the much anticipated Drake Corsair coming out soon and the less known origin X1 hoverbike series coming out, it would be a perfect time (once released) to compare the Drake Corsair, Origin 400i and RSI connie andromeda! I know personally I am sticking with the 400i as my X1 bikes are designed for it, and it’s drop dead gorgeous and fast!
@gooberfied5380
2 жыл бұрын
I like this idea but the Andromeda is a "Combat" version of the Constellation line-up so it would be better to compare the Corsair, 400i, and the Aquila instead. As for the 400i it's a crying shame the 400i doesn't get a X1 bike with that juicy X1 Bespoked Bike Bay... Also can't hold a Rover or G12 in the Cargo bay which is a crying shame as well.

@@gooberfied5380 yeah I don't know my connies well, and yeah the fact the 400i doesn't include the bike is VERY origin of them... aka pricy! Can't wait to take them on the Daymar Rally! The cyclone/all hover vehicles fit in the back at least and having a separate rear part for keeping cargo when on long trips without sacrificing a bike bay will be very useful once Pyro comes out. As for the G12, it is designed for the 600i anyways which makes sense to me at least.

In my eye the Gladius is like the F-86, the F-7 Hornet is the F-4 Phantom II & the F-8 is the F-22. The Vanduul fighter reminds me of the early MiG family with its weird design & weird combination of 37mm & 23mm gun. With that being said the Gladius is the grandpa's ship I wish to go to high school with.

I love the look of both the blade and the Glaive I have managed to get a Glaive :) the only thing that I dont like from either of them is the colour of the HUD having everything RED makes it hard to pick out your targets from anything else. I dont mind the RED inside as that is part of the look but I hope we can change the HUD colour . the blade will be in my Hanger as soon as I can :) as for the Gladius I wasn't impressed lol Ok its alright I just went for the Sabre instead I like it better, never bothered about the meta its down to what I can fly and hit things :) Nice video though :)

Where did you get the info about the Blade's weapons being 4 s3's? On the site, it states that it has 4 s2's. Ingame, it has 2 s2's and 2 s3's.. Idk what to trust anymore with these ships xD

I got my information from its current in game set up. The site has outdated information and when the weapons were reworked two of them went from being gimbaled size twos to fixed size threes. (they kept the same name and graphics but their stats were updated). I think that's what's confusing a lot of people.

Youre really pitching the gladius wel, but its problem is not folding its wings and fitting into ships. By the time a gladius fits in something its waaay outclassed. Want to run a solo ship? Take a hit on manauvering and take a titan to do it all. Want it to escort a carrack? To bad it doesnt fit so take a buccaneer. Oh it fits in a polaris? So do a lot of heavy fighters with 1.5 times the guns shields and armour. Essentially its the best NPC esscort ship.

We assume our ships will take on the likeness of the SQ42 remakes, but likely they'll be a lot different. The human version of the Blade is as likely to be recognised as part of the Vanduul fleet, as the Halloween mask is to be recognised as an actual Vanduul. I wouldn't suggest trying to pop aboard a Vanduul ship, and asking "How do you do, fellow Vanduul?". A little trivia. The Wing Commander series had a Stiletto light fighter. Described as the fastest ship in the Confederation fleet.
