The video provides a buy guide for the Anvil Paladin ship, highlighting its mixed community reception, weaponry, and design features while questioning its overall value compared to other ships like the Valkyrie and Redeemer. The presenter ultimately advises caution in purchasing the Paladin, suggesting players assess their existing fleet and needs before making a decision.
The video serves as a buy guide for the new Anvil Paladin ship, addressing mixed opinions within the community regarding its value and functionality. The presenter compares the Paladin to the Valkyrie, highlighting that while the Valkyrie has some storage capacity (SCU), the Paladin does not. Despite being cheaper than the Valkyrie, the presenter believes the Paladin may not be as competitive in pricing if it were released now. The ship’s weaponry is discussed, noting its size five main turret and two size four side turrets, allowing for a total crew of four, including one pilot and three gunners.
The Anvil Paladin features a quad size five remote turret that can move vertically, as well as two dual size four turrets on the wings. The video mentions the ship’s cockpit blast shields, which provide enhanced protection in emergencies. The layout of the ship includes a pilot and co-pilot area, a crew habitation section, and a main mess area, but some viewers have criticized the use of space within the ship. The presenter emphasizes that the design may feel simplistic or basic, and encourages viewers to move past such complaints.
In terms of components, the Paladin is equipped with various size two systems, including a shield generator, coolers, life support, and thrusters, as well as a size three shield generator. Despite its designation as a heavy barrage gunship, the presenter questions the effectiveness of its current weaponry and suggests that improvements could have been made. The ship’s design is compared to the Anvil aesthetic, and its look is likened to that of the Terrapin, albeit with some differences.
The presenter expresses a neutral stance on whether to buy the Paladin, suggesting that it may not be a necessary addition to a player’s fleet. They argue that players should consider their existing ships and needs before making a purchase. The Paladin could compete with other gunships like the Redeemer, but the presenter believes that bigger capital ships might be more valuable in a fleet.
In conclusion, the video encourages viewers to share their opinions on the Anvil Paladin, whether they own one or are considering a purchase. The presenter remains open-minded about the ship but ultimately advises caution in buying it, suggesting that it may not fulfill a critical role for many players.
