There are two nice things about the Arrester IIIs. First is, you can load 8 of them and launch 2 salvos of 4 each, at 9 km, which is outside the range of any combatant that hasn't also got S3 missiles. Second, those are the missiles CIG said will be spike missiles in the future, so they're the...

I've been watching the Sentinel combat vids and that Attrition does chew up enemies very quickly. What I am watching though is pretty foolish stuff. Guys firing the 4 S2 guns when they're not in range, etc. What I have not seen is the potent Vanguard missiles in use. You'd think now while...

Could be another error on Hardpoint then, but the stats as they have them seem to make sense. I'm sure they're getting their data straight from CIG, but could be they input it wrong. Hardpoint has all the Vanguard the same speed save the Warden which is about 10% faster, so I supposed it is...

Actually you've got them confused too. (Happens to everyone.) The Hoplite has the most armor becasue it carries troops, about 25% more armor than the Warden and Harbinger. They have about 10% more armor than the Sentinel. the Hoplite also comes with about 8% better shields, than the Warden and...

Yes, this is why I am curious how the Warden has so many fans. The beds in the warden actually act as lifeboats, that preserve the life of those inside of the ship gets all blown up. Who is actually going to get into one of them just before things go boom? The bomber module, troop module and...

Yes, but remember there are two elements designed into true stealth birds that other ships don't have: radar absorbant armor (which should be possible to add in the future to any bird--the "Void Armor" CIG spoke of) and the EM resistant box around the reactor cores. That box is key as I showed...

Someone explain to me the appeal of the Warden over the others? I have strong prejudices in favor of each of the other three but don't see the point behind the Warden in most things.

For Stealth Recon, you can't beat the Razor, IMHO. Recon efficiency, or scan volume over time; is a linear function of SCM, meaning, you can scan an area best by boosting to SCM, and disconnecting, then silently drifting. The Razor drifts at an extremely high speed, it is smaller and harder to...

Yes, you can view them quickly and easily at Hardpoint. https://hardpoint.io/#/ Note, if you scroll right there are many other stats open for quick appraisal/comparison. The Sentinel is nerfed in many ways compared to the other Vanguard, so for example it has less quantum speed and range...

A friend asked how I would equip this for general use. I would certainly fly 8 S3 missiles and be the first to fire in any engagement. You have medium radar and should seek to fire from stealth mode with shields down. For guns I would go all Ballistic--six Scorpions and a Revenant. They don't...

The Sentinel has much less armor and shields than the Harby, but it also has about half the EM signature with everything turned on 40k v 22k. It appears someone input the wrong reactors in the Hardpoint for the Harby and Sentinel, because the Sentinel's GammaMax dumps 3,866 EM for a ship total...

Where are the monsters? Shouldn't there be cave monsters?

That has been my plan for most of the last year, but I really would like a wrap around feel and the difference in price in the monitors is minimal. I think though, 3 4k monitors is going to require a second graphics card so it turns out to be much more expensive than it seems. Still not sure...

Yeah, I have followed the Sentinel since it's first mention and they never said a word about this that I have seen. Perhaps even more importantly, it is the only long range bird with stealth built in. One supposes the reactor housing has special protection, like the Hoplite has special armor...

I gotta say the look of that workstation in midships is just friggin' packed full of AWESOME!!!! It would be cool though to have the choice of the EMP or the S5 torps and still have stealth, etc. Can't wait to see what combinations are possible.

So can anyone confirm that differences other than the paint scheme still exist between the variants? For instance, the Hoplite is slower but carries more armor. Is that still true if you swap in the sentinel gear? The Sentinel has stealth, which probably means a box around the reactors to...

My guess is even this above has changed since the Sentinel's EMP generator is in the place of the Harbinger's S5 torps. But the point is, these older BUKs are not going to be offered by CIG, so if you want them you need to buy them somewhere like EBay?

Can someone explain to me how this can be for sale, when the Sentinel is not for sale? Maybe there is something different available to those who have game packages than what I can see? I prefer the Hoplite frame, since it has more armor, despite it is a little slower. I would like to be able...
