    And last details I remember about the thing (besides it wasn't suppose to be sold) Is it is not upgradable so you won't be able to change anything under the hood. (Unless they changed that)

    well, it might have limited upgrades, not sure yet. also, cross chasis upgrades once it gets implemented into ac is a good selling point. however, why have a short range fighter that, at least in military models, has no jump drive, so where you buy it is where it stays for the most part. if you got a hornet, you got a better ship imo. waste of money for me

    would need ship specs first ;p

    just makes no sense imo to buy one of these if you already got a hornet is all.

    Looks pretty badass, but would be something I got in game instead of putting out money for.

    I agree with scrub and with Zib - having a few Gladiuses added to the frigate's complement would serve players well as escort vessels, but the lack of a jump drive would also mean they needed to be docked to not get left behind. With both of them being Aegis-built, it's also inconceiveable that a frigate wouldn't come without at least four of them to support gunnery positions.

    I kinda like it, can see the family resemblance to the Tali :D

    Also gives me a very Russian Fighter vibe, it is suppose to be real agile and looks like it is armed just between the 300 series and the F7C hornet. I think I may grab one, I can always melt it if I change my mind and it would be a nice to have a cheap, easy to replace fighter for ops in addition to my Scout. My Freelancer and MM are my primary vessels I am going to be using most of the time anyways so I don't really need a Hornet.

    Ok I think i misread this is the interceptor one, NVM Scrub was right I don't want one. I thought it was the bomber for some reason.

    Its incredibly small and cheap to replace in verse. I see this as a good ship to mass buy as a corp to use a loaners for ops where players don't want to risk personal ships.

    Is nice they said it can be equipped with jump drives and the art implies it can or has had more weapons on it before. Also sounds like from the news that it will make it into AC fairly quick for a concept ship due to the SQ42 having an earlier release date versus other teams.

    Not bad planetary/fleet ships. I just hesitate to keep boarding these, then jumping, then launching, then board, then jump, then launch, etc. Boarding and launching at any point means you're vulnerable during that part of the exercise.

    These would be good ships to have around, say an asteroid base, for protection.
