The Masters of Flight is a ship series created in conjunction with the flight-sim Arena Commander. It is a series of ships that have a different loadout and livery from the stock ship. They are created in honour of a famous pilot who made a name for themselves in the UEE Navy, as a bounty hunter, or as a famed dogfighter. Each ship boasts a powerful weapon loadout that is focused more on dogfighting from the stock ship.[1]

Models

The Wildfire pays tribute to famed pilot Aria Reilly for her distinguished service with the legendary Squadron 42. This Hornet comes equipped with her own personally selected loadout preferences and a custom special edition livery honoring her iconic ship[3]

The Wildfire follows Reilly's favoured loadout, swapping energy weapons for ballistic cannons. It replaces the two Badgers repeaters on the wings with high-power Tarantula cannons and gives the ship a versatile missile loadout; carrying both Pioneer and Spark III missiles. Additionally, the center ball turret, normally used for cargo in the F7C, is reinstalled with twin M4A Laser Cannons.

Gladius "Valiant"

The Valiant pays tribute to famed defense pilot Condi Hillard for being the first Human on record to defeat a Vanduul in combat. This Gladius comes equipped with a specialized dogfighting focused loadout and a custom special edition livery honoring her iconic ship.[4]

The Valiant boasts a new array of weaponry over the standard Gladius, giving it an edge over Vanduul attackers in longer engagements. The ballistic Scorpion GT-215 Gatling is removed in favour of a CF-337 Panther Repeater on the nose and the two repeaters on the wings are replaced with two Omnisky IX Cannons. The four Ignite II missiles are replaced with eight Pioneer I missiles and the pair of Arrester III are replaced with Viper III missiles. [5]
