    They fixed the Vanguard?

    Just carrying HARM missiles is not Wild Weasel. That is the "Iron Hand" part of the SEAD mission. The NGJ may work on the F35 but that hasn't been confirmed. In more recent conflicts the standoff nature of most ordinance has lessened the importance of the WW mission. In many cases instead of...

    They fixed the Vanguard?

    SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defense) consists of 4 roles. Intelligence, which locates probable Air Defense facilities and equipment. Wild Weasel, which acts as a target to get the Air Defenses to use their Radars so they can be attacked and destroyed using anti-radiation missiles. Iron Hand...

    They fixed the Vanguard?

    That is the same way I read the marketing material. I started with a Sentinel with a Warden BUK, but when they put the stealth components on it, I swapped. (Thanks to @Blind Owl the Sentinel BUK has LTI.)

    Excess Store Credit Problem

    The idea is to start with more gear than the standard starting UEC gets you. Would I recommend dropping lots? No. If there is a particular firearm, armor, loadout, etc. you want to start with without having to grind without to start, that is the reason. 2K to 20K isn't likely enough. 30K, you...

    I ended up not buying the RSI Galaxy

    The difference is the Bomber, and the Vanguards (Warden and Hoplite) were modeled without the bays being seperate pieces. The Vanguards had the bays seperated from the frame during the rework, and the Retaliator was supposed to have that done during the Gold Standard pass. I doubt the Galaxy...

    The Retaliator Bomber has the Torpedo Bays as stock. The Base has no modules included. The price difference is the price of the Torpedo Bays. The loaner for the Base is the Bomber, which is why you may be confused. The base is still in concept.

    Retaliator Base. The difference there, though, was you could buy modules with LTI.

    The primary difference is context of the setting.

    Exploration looking for Exploration / Science recommendations and opinions

    They have stated they are rethinking jump point sizes. The answer is we don't know what fits in what size jump point.

    Some thoughts on the RSI Galaxy for $350

    It's still going to be Retaliator first followed by the Vanguard. Those modules are already in the game files.

    Hanger pass?

    They were different code, which was quite buggy and causing issues both within the modules and the PU.

    Some thoughts on the RSI Galaxy for $350

    Well the Q&A answered two questions. You do need a shipyard (Cousin Crows) to swap modules. You can travel empty, so you'll make several trips to move your base of operations, since this module won't fit in most ships.

    My Retaliator fills the advertised role for the Galaxy (Unless you were looking for a refinery.) with a smaller profile and a combat capability. The Galaxy looks cool but also looks impractical for its advertised role, long term.
