This video discusses the Esperia Glaive, a powerful ship in Star Citizen that is currently available but set to undergo a rework to better align with the Vanduul aesthetic.

In this video, the content creator discusses the Esperia Glaive, a powerful ship in Star Citizen that has been reverse engineered from the Vanduul species. The ship is currently available in the game, but it is set to undergo a rework in the future to better align with the Vanduul aesthetic. The upcoming rework of the Vanduul ships in general is highly anticipated by players, as the new designs look incredible and capture the evil and deadly vibe of the Vanduul species.
The Esperia Glaive has impressive firepower, with two size five plasma guns and two size one weapons located under the cockpit. The ship also boasts great speed and acceleration, making it a formidable heavy fighter. However, the content creator believes that the ship suffers from an identity crisis, as its design is too reminiscent of the Terran species rather than the Vanduul. This is likely one of the reasons why the ship is being reworked.
The ship’s stock weapons and components are discussed, including its plasma cannons, missiles, shields, power plant, coolers, and quantum drive. The ship’s most unique feature is its ability to deploy blades for close combat, which the content creator finds both bizarre and gimmicky. The ship’s engines, on the other hand, are praised for their sleek design and impressive performance.
The content creator concludes by giving a walkthrough of the ship’s exterior, highlighting its bird-like design elements and the impressive plasma cannons. The cockpit is described as having good visibility and easy-to-read displays, although it will be reworked in the future. Overall, the Esperia Glaive is seen as a rare and powerful ship with a lot of potential, and the content creator looks forward to the upcoming rework and further Star Citizen content.
