Which planets will these be available on?  Kuat?  (All Pentastar Alignment, obviously.)

It looks really nice! Although the perspective makes the Gladiator look huge.


According to an earlier news post, the Bellator will be available in eras 3+ on Kuat and Fondor.

Yes, that perspective really does make it look huge.

Great to know.  I do not play PA myself, but I have a friend that is an avid PA fan because of the Clone Wars era ships.

Gladiators would be about half as strong as a VSD right? As I recall they were hardly ships of the line...

Seems about right.

They actually were designed to be ships of the line, in the Old Republic.  They were designed to be the escorts for VSD's the way the VSD's would often escort ISD's in the Empire.  However they weren't actually manufactured until after the Clone Wars had ended, which means they never got to serve their intended role, and since the VSD wasn't kept as the primary ship of the line, double whammy on the Gladiator.

Explains why it was pretty much phased out...

I don't doubt she'll handle much better in Ascendency, given that the Praetor's (at 4.8 KM) had the occassional issue with pathfinding, and this is 7.2 KM, so much larger yet.

That said, still be nice to drop one or 2 of these into battle against the Republic and watch it rip them apart.

Can we see other Pics of this Beautiful Battlecruiser?

Star Dreadnought.  Battlecruisers, per the Anaxes war college rating, had a maximum size of 5 KM (Praetor-II is considered the largest ever).  This is 7.2 KM.

True, it is a Dreadnaught class

Oh man this is clean!!

Now if we could just get the allegiance I'd be 100% content.

Alright badass my mistake. Just discovered this mod and the forum a literally a few days ago.

I don't know about "people" but I think the ISD is one of the most aesthetic designs I've ever seen. The allegiance is basically an ISD that's been lifting and taking its multi which I love.

To be technical, the Allegiance would be the Tector using roids, not the ISD, since it's hangerless.

Well I was referring to its look more than its capabilities.

If its possible, could someone please post some pictures of the Bellator from their games please.

Currently only the mod team is using the Bellator in ICW, as (and I could be wrong but think not) even the testers haven't yet gotten those updates.  It'll be the same model as Ascendency though, so if you look through the Ascendency screenshots thread, Corey posted at least 1 and I've posted 2 or 3.
