The Raptor of Standoff is a mockery to the WC1 Raptor, old thread explaining it or not. Regardless, the mod is great. But there's no sensing in to hating it, it just is what it is. The Epee is actually much better than it should, but that's not a problem.
The Gladius is just right. A weak ship adequate to minor jobs, but out of its league on large battles.
