Someones worked the sales out from the patch already, Redeemer and Gladius 
Everyone will have it for now, but I really doubt many will keep it once either:
- another concept comes around that they'd rather melt for (ie Aegis Bulldog)
- they are able to CCU it to something else
I imagine it will only be a small number of people who will hold on to the Herald right the way into final release.

Gladius will be good permanent addition for Arena Commander, just noticed I've got the option to add it to my hangar too so it must be in now....just applying patch now
Low quality video of what might be a non-commercial video for the sale

Its 640x480 at best, not missing much by waiting, not losing much by watching it either tbh.

I'm torn on the gladius - I can't help comparing with the avenger and as far as design goes I prefer the avenger.
Will have to wait and see how they both fly when they are AC ready and also what the avenger variants turn out to be.

Some snaps of the Gladius in my hangar

Sure no problem, it does remind me of the Avenger too....wider but a bit sleeker. Quite minimal on the interior

I got lucky and talked CS into reinstating my Gladius concept sale pledge so I got one with LTI.
Yeah the Redeemer won't be cheap, gunship and boarding so I'm thinking 300 minimum

Cpt Bosh, when you're sat in the cockpit, do you get the yellowish plastic distortion through the lid along the bottom, but clear for the top 2/3?
You can see in the 2nd pic from the last bunch you posted, theres a shiny plastic look, and it doesnt feel quite right when the lid is down, like you're head is sticking through it almost, and yet the overhead markings on the lid are still where they should be.
Im assuming its just a texture issue, rather than intentional, but it could just be something im seeing, not everyone.

oh, and i cant see the Redeemer being $400. I cant remember its specs, but i'd be surprised if it was more than $300 tbh. I see it being decent step up from a Cutlass/Freelancer, same sort of mobility maybe, but with the firepower of an Andro, and some handy combat options. The Retaliator was only $250 (concept) with 5x Class 5 turrets (iirc, able to convert to missile turrets too! how awesome!!), torpedo bay (not incl), pretty big in size, and probably has decent systems/suites, so i'd be surprised if the Redeemer wasnt $250-300.

Yeah Paul its got a weird yellow tint and there are serious clipping issues, my forehead was actually outside the cockpit lol. Probably won't be as bad once they get the head to sit correctly.
