damn you beat me to it , damn you F5 key !

 

[Spyro]

lol same here!!

 

[Nuke]

This thing has the feel of an A-10 Star Citizen style, a bit slow but good luck killing it and god help you if it hits you.

Must not melt superhornet, Must not melt superhornet, Must not melt superhornet.

Also i would like to point out that the main gun is named "ballistic death gatling" and i want it.

Those Specs are low.... Not buying it....

The Super Hornet has more teeth than this thing. Is this a Joke?!

4 Size 2's
1 Size 5 gimbaled - Ok that might not be so bad..
1 Manned Size 2 turret ?! ?!

SIZE 2 SHIELDS!?! - 300 Series Status?!

No Missiles !? ?! !?

For something that has that big of a body that doesnt have anything in it... I sure has alot of NOT HAVING ANY CARGO going for it...

also $250.....


wow... what an offer... indeed...

For the Same Price, The Redeemer Offers more.

 

[JBWill]

S5 mainline gatling, "Impressive top speed", two more fixed guns than were apparent from the grey box.

Yup, I'm buying the shit out of this baby.

Edit:

no Missiles !? ?! !?

Hmm that's actually a good point, I didn't notice that. Interesting, there were pretty clearly missiles in the grey box. I wonder if it's just an oversight.

 

[Eiyron]

AAAAAAAND.... I bought one~ talk about being a Hypocrite Right? *Whistles*

I hardly think four size two's, a size FIVE and a manned turret with two size two's is less teeth than the superhornet's four size two's and two size ones. also if you look at the animation video you can see missiles/torpedoes. This ship seems to be more built around ripping through bigger heavily armored targets while still not being half bad in a dogfight. The vanguard is an A-10 while the superhornet is an F-22.

 

[Liquor_and_ores]

The size 2 shields and 2x S2 power plants narrowed my eyes a bit, but I have a feeling that they must be adjusting shield classes like they did for hardpoints.
(retaliator with size 3 shields seems a bit fuked)

I want to melt and buy now, but I am going to wait until the end of the sale just incase the "new and shiney" wears off


*edit I didn't expect the torpedoes / ewar to be a thing with this ship at all so thats throwing me off a little bit

Super Hornet

Wings = Size 4 x2
Canard = size 1 or 2 x2 (dont know what is after Gimbal mount size changes)
Turret = Size 1 x2

Missiles = Size 1 x8

Not to mention Other superior Ship stats such as shields and powerplant.

Only thing that's better is Thruster...

Also Vanguard has a bigger hitbox?

What am I doing wrong here...?
.... I'll tell you what I did wrong....

I BOUGHT IT !!

 

[Spyro]

This ship SUKS!!! its ugly and that gun name ballistic death gatling COME ONN!!! noo missiles? (like the ever work) i wont fall for it!

superhornet wings only fit up to a size 3 and that's without gimbals (trust me I've been messing with my SH all day)
the Canard can fit 2 size 1's and the turret can fit 2 size 2's

fit up to a Size 3 and not 4? your kidding me right? We don't even have size 4 weapons available yet.....

How will you be able to try and fit a size 4 and test that?

 

[Spyro]

wait wait!!!!! quote In combat, the Vanguard’s roles are extensive: long range jump scout, extended duration patrol/reconnaissance ship, fighter-bomber (when equipped with torpedoes), tactical command and control ship, bomber interceptor and, in the proper hands, even a fighter-killer.
torpedoes torpedoes torpedoes!!! Shi shit shit $$$$$$ were is my credid card????

 

[Black Sunder]

I don't think its missiles got listed on the specs because they are clearly showed in the model video. Shield size seems a bit low even if there are 2 of them which I doubt. The Power plants also seem a bit low even though there are 2. Overall looks like placeholder stats only.

Atm not getting one.

I like that part... I did not read that one... Guess that makes sense why it has a bigbody.


I wonder how fast is its top speed....

MmmMMm~

 

[Nuke]

fit a Size 3? your kidding me right? We don't even have size 4 weapons available yet.....

yeah i know, the specs sheet is wrong. in game the wing mounts say size 3, I got two panthers with REC earlier today and then realized that they only work without gimbals

Anyways, Thanks for that useful info, everyday you learn something new~

 

[Eiyron]
