There is a serenity as they wait to launch into what we can imagine is certain danger. It serves as a testament to the focus and training of the men and women who serve in the UEE Marines.\n\nWhat makes the Gladiator cool?\n\n\n\nThe Gladiator is proof that a small ship can pack a big punch. Designed to operate against capital ships and installations, the Gladiator is the UEE\u2019s premiere strike craft. Star Citizen\u2019s world is full of capital ships, from frigates like the Idris to massive carriers like the Bengal\u2026 and we want to give you a way to blow them up. With the ability to conduct bombing runs with a manned turret on its back, a skilled Gladiator crew should be able to prove that David can defeat Goliath!

It has been in active development at Foundry 42 recently, and is currently on-track to be the next Hangar-ready ship. We expect to make the Gladiator flight ready between Arena Commander 1.0 and 2.0; while it is a multi-crew ship (with a manned turret\/RIO seat), it does not feature room to walk around. Since each crewman is locked to their seat, we will be able to put it into service earlier than the Retaliator or Constellation.\n\nWhat inspired the Gladiator?\n\n\n\nThe Gladiator was inspired by the carrier-based dive and torpedo bombers of World War II such as the TBF Avenger and the SBD Dauntless. It was initially created for Squadron 42, where you will fly it in defense of the United Empire of Earth, but will also be fully fly- and mod-able in Star Citizen\u2019s persistent universe. We are envisioning two-person Gladiator teams working together to take on large freighters and capital ships together; your partner can man the turret to keep interceptors off you as you focus on dodging flak and completing a torpedo run!\n\nOriginal Description\n\nThe T3A Gladiator is the UEE Navy\u2019s primary carrier-based bomber. Gladiator squadrons are typically divided by specialty: a carrier may have both a Gladiator torpedo squadron and a Gladiator dive bomber squadron. A back seat is occupied by a tail gunner who also acts as radio operator.\n\nThough a heavy-hitting bomber, the Gladiator has proven easy to modify and thus has become commonplace in the civilian market. The bomb bay can easily be converted for light transport. Many pilots choose to replace the rear turret\u2019s laser cannon with a tractor beam, making it an ideal craft for light salvage missions.\n\nDo I need to buy a Gladiator?\nNO! Remember: we are offering these pledge ships to help fund Star Citizen\u2019s development and because of player demand. All of these ships will be available for in-game credits in the final universe, and they are not required to start the game. The design goal is to make additional ships available that give players a different experience rather than a particular advantage when the persistent universe launches. Every sale supports expanding Star Citizen\u2019s overall development, but none are required to gain full enjoyment from the game.","de_DE":"Ein Jahrtausend der Erinnerungen: Fotos im Flug\nDie 500 wichtigsten ikonischen Bilder aus den letzten tausend Jahren der Reise durch die Sterne.\n\n#167: Die Ruhe vor dem Sturm\nDatum: 2933-05-28 SET\nFotograf: Taia Wallen, Major\n\nEines von nur einer Handvoll Bilder von Corin, die die Marines ver\u00f6ffentlicht haben, der Fotograf, damals Lance Corporal Taia Wallen, hatte gerade eine intensive sechsst\u00fcndige Null-Goarding-Trainings\u00fcbung absolviert, als sie auf diesen Flug von Gladiatoren stie\u00df, die auf dem Startplatz warteten. Die Staffel war gerade dabei, zu einem Marineschiff zu \u00fcberf\u00fchren, das auf dem Weg in eine unbekannte Kampfzone war.\n\nW\u00e4hrend viele die Maserung und den Kontrast als Beitrag zur Unmittelbarkeit des Moments bezeichnen, sind die Piloten der wirklich markante Aspekt dieses Bildes. Es gibt eine Gelassenheit, wie sie warten, um in das einzutreten, was wir uns vorstellen k\u00f6nnen, ist eine gewisse Gefahr. Es dient als Beweis f\u00fcr den Fokus und die Ausbildung der M\u00e4nner und Frauen, die in den UEE Marines dienen.\n\nWas macht den Gladiator cool?\n\nDer Gladiator ist der Beweis daf\u00fcr, dass ein kleines Schiff einen gro\u00dfen Schlag versetzen kann. Der Gladiator wurde f\u00fcr den Einsatz gegen Gro\u00dfraumschiffe und -anlagen entwickelt und ist das erste Schlachtschiff der UEE. Die Welt von Star Citizen ist voll von Gro\u00dfschiffen, von Fregatten wie den Idris bis hin zu riesigen Flugzeugen wie den Bengalen.... und wir wollen dir einen Weg geben, sie in die Luft zu jagen. Mit der F\u00e4higkeit, Bombenangriffe mit einem bemannten Turm auf dem R\u00fccken durchzuf\u00fchren, sollte eine qualifizierte Gladiator-Crew beweisen k\u00f6nnen, dass David Goliath besiegen kann! Der Gladiator bietet Geschwindigkeit und Man\u00f6vrierf\u00e4higkeit f\u00fcr den Upgrade-Bereich und kann auch f\u00fcr Friedensrollen wie Explorer oder Support-Rollen wie die Kommando- und Steuerungsplattform angepasst werden.\n\nWo befindet sich der Gladiator in der Entwicklung?\n\nDer Gladiator wurde von David Hobbins konzipiert, der auch den Speer entworfen und die Konstellation aktualisiert hat. Sie befindet sich seit kurzem in der aktiven Entwicklung bei Foundry 42 und ist derzeit auf dem besten Weg, das n\u00e4chste Hangar-f\u00e4hige Schiff zu werden. Wir erwarten, dass der Gladiator-Flug zwischen Arena Commander 1.0 und 2.0 vorbereitet wird; obwohl es sich um ein Mehrbesatzungsschiff (mit bemanntem Turm\/RIO-Sitz) handelt, bietet es keinen Platz zum Umhergehen. Da jeder Besatzungsmitglied an seinem Sitz befestigt ist, k\u00f6nnen wir ihn fr\u00fcher als den Vergelter oder die Konstellation in Betrieb nehmen.\n\nWas inspirierte den Gladiator?\n\nDer Gladiator wurde von den tr\u00e4gergest\u00fctzten Tauch- und Torpedobombern des Zweiten Weltkriegs wie dem TBF Avenger und dem SBD Dauntless inspiriert. Es wurde urspr\u00fcnglich f\u00fcr Staffel 42 entwickelt, wo du es zur Verteidigung des Vereinigten Reiches der Erde fliegen wirst, aber auch im hartn\u00e4ckigen Universum von Star Citizen vollst\u00e4ndig fliegen und modellierbar sein wirst. Wir stellen uns vor, dass zweik\u00f6pfige Gladiator-Teams zusammenarbeiten, um gemeinsam gro\u00dfe Frachter und Gro\u00dfschiffe zu \u00fcbernehmen; Ihr Partner kann den Turm bemannen, um Abfangj\u00e4ger von Ihnen fernzuhalten, w\u00e4hrend Sie sich darauf konzentrieren, Flak auszuweichen und einen Torpedorun zu absolvieren!\n\nUrspr\u00fcngliche Beschreibung\n\nDer T3A Gladiator ist der wichtigste tr\u00e4gergest\u00fctzte Bomber der UEE Navy. Gladiatorgeschwader werden typischerweise nach Spezialgebieten unterteilt: Ein Tr\u00e4ger kann sowohl eine Gladiator-Torpedogeschwader als auch eine Gladiator-Tauchbomberstaffel haben. Auf einem R\u00fccksitz sitzt ein Hecksch\u00fctze, der auch als Funker fungiert.\n\nObwohl er ein schwer treffender Bomber ist, hat sich der Gladiator als leicht zu modifizieren erwiesen und ist daher auf dem zivilen Markt allt\u00e4glich geworden. Der Bombenschacht kann problemlos f\u00fcr den leichten Transport umgebaut werden. Viele Piloten entscheiden sich daf\u00fcr, die Laserkanone des hinteren Turms durch einen Traktorstrahl zu ersetzen, was ihn zu einem idealen Schiff f\u00fcr leichte Bergungseins\u00e4tze macht.\n\nMuss ich einen Gladiator kaufen?\nNEIN! Denken Sie daran: Wir bieten diese Pfandbriefe an, um die Entwicklung von Star Citizen zu finanzieren und aufgrund der Nachfrage der Spieler. Alle diese Schiffe stehen f\u00fcr Spielgutschriften im endg\u00fcltigen Universum zur Verf\u00fcgung, und sie sind nicht verpflichtet, das Spiel zu starten. Das Designziel ist es, zus\u00e4tzliche Schiffe zur Verf\u00fcgung zu stellen, die den Spielern beim Start des persistenten Universums eine andere Erfahrung und keinen besonderen Vorteil bieten. Jeder Verkauf unterst\u00fctzt die Erweiterung der Gesamtentwicklung von Star Citizen, aber keiner ist erforderlich, um vollen Spa\u00df am Spiel zu haben.","zh_CN":"A Millennium of Memories: Photos in Flight\nThe top 500 iconic images from the last thousand years of traveling the stars.\n\n#167: The Calm Before the Storm\nDate: 2933-05-28 SET\nPhotographer: Taia Wallen, Major\n\nOne of only a handful of images of Corin that the Marines have released, the photographer, then Lance Corporal Taia Wallen, had just completed an intensive six-hour zero-g boarding training exercise when she came across this flight of Gladiators waiting on the launchpad.
