Nah, Gladiator can rock the pods while also still having a huge missile load, and the Gladiator has much better tank to get in close and stay there to consistently hit with rockets, the gladius can get in and out fast and make use of rocket alpha sure, but It's the Gladiator thats really gonna shine with them since it get just get in close and unload while weathering return fire.

I can see the meta revolving around
>Extreme stealth setup
or
>Highest emission, highest performance setup
and everything else being pointless.
>In a future 3.x patch we plan to assign every ship and every item a component class. This means players will only be able to put an item of that class into a ship that can utilize it.
...
>We’re still in the design phase of this system
They've literally been talking for item 2.0 for over 2 years now.
>Sub-Items live inside components and provide a boost to the base effectiveness in a variety of ways. Currently, they are consumable parts that will wear out much quicker than their host items themselves. Without sub-items the base item still functions as normal, but will find a small boost in performance when sub-items are installed. It’s recommended that players carry spares for longer trips as the need to swap these out over extended duration trips is likely. Not carrying spares (or not having the ability to carry spares) isn’t an impediment to base functionality, but should be seen as a continued maintenance loop necessary to provide an improved-upon and highly proficient system.
Are you looking forward to exchanging subcomponents on your
Power Plants
Coolers
Shield Generators
Fuel Intakes
Radars
Quantum Drives
Jump Drives
Computers (Formerly Avionics Motherboards or Modules)
Fuel Tanks
every hour?
Wow, are you playing on ((Low))? Looks like a shitty No Mans Sky knockoff
I'm looking forward to
subcomponents being loot-box style monetized
Dont worry user, that will never happen.
You'll have to either rent them or pay real money to get them outright, it's a much fairer system :)
