Description
Bob has made some edits to the Gladiator model, updating the mesh a bit and redoing the texture, adding to the growing list of updated assets for the next version
Cool. Cant wait to see the Nebula Star Destroyer!
Agreed! I can’t wait to see all the new and improved NR New Class Modernisation Program ships :D
Admiral Screed prepare the fleet
Question. Wasn't the Gladiator supposed to be on the same keep as the Marauder, and being so, doesn't this model break that? I mean, if it's representative of the Gladiator II suggesting that the refit was more extensive than just a weapons refit, it could still work.
It looks good in any case.
I'm not sure what you mean, this has always been the official Gladiator design. If you mean the Gladiator, the Force Unleashed Campaign Guide said the Gladiator and the Broadside were on the same keel, but that doesn't necessarily mean much. They're fairly similar in overall shape, but again, ever since its introduction, the Gladiator has looked like this.
It was first introduced in Star Wars Droids, it was first named in the Force Unleashed, it is one of my favorite Star Destroyer designs
Yeah, sorry Corey. That first message did not make much sense. I did mean the Broadside (not the Marauder). I was referring to the keel comment (autocorrect got me there). I may be remembering incorrectly, perhaps EvilleJedi did a model that was a little shorter to be closer in hull length to the Broadside (which seems to be more of a stubby ship). This just seems either significantly longer, or perhaps narrower if the same length as the Broadside. Given the war narrative, I doubt that there would have been extensive differences between the two hulls - (it's the whole point of using the same keel in the first place, to keep construction time and costs down). But regarding the refit Gladiator II, it would make sense that that one may have seen more extensive hull modification, to saty relevent.
I guess that is where I would disagree - to me if they are supposed to be off the same hull, it should be obvious (it's not as bad as the ship problems caused by Cracken's Dossier).
