Star Citizen - Anvil Paladin review

[@swhitten6676]

Valk with an oversized Redeemer turret lookin good!

[@TheSnipersRWatching]

Redeemer is more maneuverable. This is going to be more stiff to fly, like a corsair but probably wider turns. Redeemer is going to be more of a go in, kill the smaller fighters/ships around the same size. Paladin is going to be hitting targets that're more heavily armored and possibly anti fighters. Perseus is meant to take care of larger capital ships/weaken them and destroy any smaller gunship that's hitting fighters. Hammerhead is pretty self explanatory on its role. But they need to release more ships that are in the same category before we can get a good enough balance

I love the Paladin design. I want one so bad. I don't think it will be that far off as its taking a lot of design ques from the Valk and uses the same teck as the Scorpius. We will have to wait and see though.

[@krazyivan007]

It is definitely an attractive ship in both form and function.

[@like-wh6yf]

First thing I'm going to do when I get this ship is swap out the gatling guns for later repeaters as the prices of resupply are going up

[@ozramblue117]

It’s pretty. I guess it’s supposed to compete with the redeemer? I wonder if it will come out this side of 2030.

[@krazyivan007]

Yea, a Redeemer, Connie competitor.

[@nastynitrouat]

They nerfed the redeemer to sell this

[@ozramblue117]

@@nastynitrouat and Corsair, I’m guessing.

[@kira68200]

the comparison between the Redeemer and the Paladin is as pertinent as comparing the Hammerhead and the Perseus, yes both are gunships and gunboats, but they don't have the same role The Hammerhead is a picket ship, you're here to support your fleet by intercepting any fighter/bomber or any payload approaching your fleet while the Perseus is a "pocket battleship", here to brawl and use its big gun and armor/shield to annihilate everything in front of him in the same way in a purely space combat the Redeemer is basicaly a "super-heavy fighter" you're here to support you allied fighters and protect the bigger ships of your formation using your relatively good speed and agility with almost no blindspots while the Paladin is there to support a Perseus and other big combat ships by using his armor, big shield and heavy firepower to help destroy ennemy ships in front of it, basicaly a "XS corvet" on a ground combat, the Redeemer will drop a 4 man group then supporting them with its weapons while the Paladin is basicaly an AC-130 Specter, you will just snipe and destroy anything the ennemies have on the ground yeah they are in the same category, but they are NOT the same thing, their niche are different

@@kira68200 pre nerf redeemer would compete with this ship just fine and in a lot of ways outstrip it. There’s a lot more that makes no sense about the Paladin, despite its beauty (in my opinion, great looking ship). They gave it short range and no cargo yet wasted almost all the internal space for long range multi day trips. They also appear to only have one point of entry. For this ship to make sense it doesn’t even need internals, or it needs range and at least a small amount of cargo. As is, it’s a bit of a loser, only tempting on account of that main turret and the possibility to use all guns with two players. As to Perseus vs Hammerhead, I agree. Perseus is made to hunt hammerheads and other gunships. Hammerhead is a fighter hunter. Anyway, damned shame as it’s a fine looking ship. I’m sure it will fit in well as part of a fleet. Opportunities to make credits with it outside of bounty prizes is pretty low though.

Just to state something going on for the new people. For the last year or so ships that have been released with certain stats and components after sales have been gradually getting nerfed to uselessness, after they release a ship with increased stats, speed, and compononts. They have aggressively been doing this harder for the last 4-5 months and now in (spectrum) their own chat servers people are calling them out and are rightfully mad especially after the redeemer and corsair nerf only to find the paladin released with same characteristics and loadouts as the nerfed ships all to push sales. Well sales have taken a huge hit and are down 9% thats millions. So they are now going tk the chats and deleting posts that are speaking against this. Hundreds of posts with thousands of likes mine included, all to silence and hush what is happening. Now they have threatened to ban my account if i keep going. Beware before you buy anything, they are in a suddent change and its all for money not for the player. Ships are getting nerfed tk uselessness and the money youspent in it means nothing all under the umbrella of "alpha" You do with this info ehat you want.

[@krazyivan007]

Although there is supporting evidence of this, I still want this project to succeed. I still want people to invest and pledge. There are a lot of us who have and I want to keep a positive push to CIG with suggestions and feedback that we want and need. I have posted myself that this is the business model for games with microtransactions. They will release the next OP thing to get sales, then it will get nerfed so they can market the next big thing. This is not uncommon and people who are into Star Citizen are just now becoming aware of it. But, go look at any game with microtransactions and you have the same thing going on. I'm not saying it is acceptable or that I approve of this practice. I am just saying this is the way it works.

[@danny1988221]

@krazyivan007 it should not be acceptable when you are using hundreds even thousands of dollars. And alot of other games try not to do it to this frequency and scale. Ten bucks is one thing. The new max they just released already got nerfed right after sales fuel was cut by 60% acceleration cut by 25% and 50% made cut. To say this is acceptable is insane to me when you would not buy a car and then after you pay they would remove and replace major parts of the car with lesser working components. And im using a car because is as close as I can get it to something that we all think about in the same scale.

[@krazyivan007]

@@danny1988221 I will agree that if you do not approve of a business model, you should not support it. I won't tell people what to do or not to do with their money. I bought the Paladin. Everyone can make their own decisions once they have the information.

[@positronikiss]

pls dont support cig in its current form for the love of star citizen pls dont

[@talon5902]

When ships don't have release dates it could be years before there in the game and once individuals purchase them there is know reason for them to rush them into game play many have been waiting for years and they are subject to change so you don't get the ship where you bought im not being negative only stating facts

[@RainOfFodderco]

Even if it is good you shouldn't engage with this ship or all your ships are going to get the redeemer treatment. No money for CIG for this insult. Buy in game for me.

[@krazyivan007]

True. For many, they will buy this for real $$. Unfortunately, I bet it will get a nerf to 4x S4's
