In the video, Daniel Rayman discusses the Anvil Paladin, a new ship concept introduced by CIG without much promotional fanfare. The Paladin features two remote turrets operated by the pilot if no other crew members are present. Rayman describes the Paladin as a versatile ship that can carry two additional crew members, who can serve as engineers or gunners. He compares the Paladin to the C8R Hurricane, emphasizing its firepower and tactical capabilities in battle.
Rayman elaborates on the combat tactics for the Paladin, which are similar to those of the Hurricane. He suggests that players should roll the ship to keep the main turret on target while pitching up to align the pilot’s guns for a powerful attack. He proposes a common loadout that includes switching the pilot-controlled wing turrets to ballistic weapons for increased damage against armored targets. Rayman believes that players will primarily keep the turret in the top position during combat, as switching positions can be time-consuming.
The video also covers the Paladin’s concept launch price, which is set at $260 for new money and $300 for store credit. Rayman notes that the loaner ship for the Paladin is the Redeemer, which has a higher value than the Paladin itself. He encourages viewers to consider purchasing the Paladin now and using the Redeemer as a temporary ship until the Paladin is released. Additionally, he mentions some concerns about the ship’s design, particularly the wasted floor space and the need for a storage hold.
Rayman addresses the uncertainties surrounding the Paladin, cautioning viewers against expecting it to be a meta ship that guarantees victory. He highlights the Paladin’s potential durability, noting its large shield and blast shields on the cockpit, which could make it more resilient compared to other ships in its class. However, he emphasizes that the true effectiveness of the Paladin will only be determined once it is fully integrated into the game.
Finally, Rayman announces the winner of the Zeus 2cl giveaway and discusses future giveaways tied to channel growth and annual events. He mentions that the next giveaway will feature the Starlancer Max and encourages viewers to participate by commenting with the secret word. Rayman concludes by inviting viewers to stay engaged and safe in the game, expressing his excitement for the Paladin and its role in the evolving universe of Star Citizen.
