Avenger variants

[SilentButDangerous]

What do you think the new Avenger variants will be used for?

 

[WhooptyWoo]

Standard
Explorer
Bounty Hunter/PoPo

Are there 3 or 4 variants? If there are 4 then my last guess would be Beer-Truck.

I'd think there'd be a stealth variant in there, the avenger would look like a pretty badass stealth ship.

Ugh I love the look of the avenger. It's such a sleek ship. If all of those become options, I have no idea which to upgrade mine too... I hate choices... they are too difficult.

It's a penguin. Once you see it, you can't 'un-see' it. It's a penguin and always will look like a penguin.

A flightless bird. With guns and prisoner stasis pods.

 

[CaptainRichard]

Herding space sheep.

 

[Huegpaynis]

Hot-dropping marines off the loading ramp.

Its the sexiest damn penguin I have ever seen, and believe me, there are some sexy ass penguins out there these days!

I love the ship, and I love the ship it is based on:

It does look like it was made for stealth. I'm hoping for an explorer version.

All right, so we know for a fact that the base model is what we have in the hangar right now, just with the holding cells stripped out.

So 1 variant is almost certainly just re-adding the bounty hunting stuff.

Maybe a bootlegging variant? (Supercharged fast engines, some sort of ECM maybe?)

Hopefully they have a "Advocacy Special" version with the 2nd seat readded, maybe a better power plant a la super hornet.

Did it used to be a 2 seater? I didn't remember remembering that.

Yessir, the original Avenger model had a 2nd seat right behind the pilots, supposedly for training purposes as (at the time) the Avenger was the main trainer used by the UEE Navy. Which is now fufilled by the Gladius.

The Avenger was the first ship redone with PBR, and it got the exterior ladder and second seat removed when they did it in oh...November of last year?. (it also got the super cool POLICE gloss details on the wings)

Man, that older picture really highlights how much they spruced it up with the update. I'm very interested to see what the options are, I'd be all about a high-speed bootlegger model.

Everytime I see this ship, I'm reminded of the Bluesmobile.
