Winner of The Next Greatest Starship (TNGS)

eh, I can see that, but the fact that it's a purpose built gunship and not a transport, it falls in the Aegis line, but the Aegis lines are there. Sure MISC just showcased the "Misslelancer", but that's just an equipment redesign of a current model. Honestly, I would put it in with Anvil before MISC because of some of the blocky lines, but even then, the Gladiator would fit better into the Aegis line if all we're judging off of is the first ships we know of from the manufacturers. All in all? I think it fits into the Aegis line nicely. Not all ships of a manufacturer are going to look entirely similar. Granted the Retaliator and Avenger look very similar, but those are old designs and design methods and styles change over time!

(So... We security people have way too much time on our hands when all we're doing is trawling the forums.... lol)
