Gladiator-class Light Cruiser

Halo: UNSC Capital Ships (Scaled down)

Description
The Gladiator-class light cruiser is a light capital ship classification in the UNSC Navy. It is best suited to escort duties and patrolling in squadrons.

History
As the Halcyon-class proved to be a mostly fruitless venture, the UNSC started to consider a new standard cruiser for their fleets. What many do not know was that the Marathon had a contender in the form of the Gladiator, but the larger Marathon was deemed more effective. However, towards the end of the war, the UNSC needed a cheap yet capable light combat cruiser, and the Gladiator was taken off the shelf. While not as well armed or durable as the Marathon, or any other cruiser, it serves as a useful escort, is fast, and can be produced in large numbers. It also has a high number of point defense cannons, making it adept at protecting other cruisers.

Armament
Standard MAC, Archer Missiles, Point Defense Guns

Equipment
Jump Drives, Assemblers

Tactics
Gladiators, while extremely affordable and fast, are individually rather weak and perform best when deployed in squadrons or working alongside heavier cruisers.

To use this ship: Access via antenna/connector and remote control. It is a large drone.

PS: This ship is a non-canon creation by a Halo Fanon user called Athena32. I liked the look of the build and thought it would make a good "early game" unit.

It would look awfule abd be barely functional. You want it vanilla, I'm sorry but you'll have to do it yourself. Mods are what makes my work so functional and look so nice in spite of their size.

Ok, no problem. Like I said it'll be a while, and I also plan to publish worlds to use each faction individually and one to use all at once so you don't HAVE to download all the mods by hand.

Wow. I... never thought of that... It'd be a while, I need to finish my halo armada since I may change my mind on some things and HOPEFULLY razortron will finish the halo mod I've been waiting weeks for. Is there a way I could do that myself?

i have an idea, because you use so many mods in your builds, i would see about trying to make a modpack, thus limting the searching down to one title.
