What can you do in a Gladius that you cant do with a hornet, a hornet will always be better... even if you are a good pilot, a player in a hornet only has to be average to match you. It is under gunned, under armored... and speed only counts for so much. You can preach about skill all you like, but really all you will ever can hope for is that you wont fight someone in a hornet that is just as good as you.

You need luck not skill to play with a Gladius, melt now and repent.
