Looks all full of beast mode. Love the vent work!
She's a beautiful beast with plenty of teeth that can bite plenty hard.
Have to agree. Looks a little different, and a bit more edgy. That's about it. Guessing this isn't a full blown rework?
Its a bit sleeker, more inline with the concept art. Also, retractable turret confirmed?

They are going back more to the concept art...so if you are used to the original drawings (and that big poster in the CIG HQ of the Wardens taxiing along the runway) then it isn't much of a change. What it does is correct the weird turn they made from concept art to deploying in-game.
I actually prefer the old version, and felt it looked more aggressive; the new one looks too 40's retro with those grills at the front.

This "new" version is modeled after the original concept, which makes it the old version. Welcome to the mental knots.
Warden is the longest running ship to have not been melted in my hangar.. love the looks, just hope it is competitive DPS wise for the future
Based on the lore of the Vanguard ships so far, they are military grade. They might not be the most powerful ships in their size bracket, but they should make up for that with their extended range of operational capabilities. Which is why I'm looking forward to using them.
No point in having a 'Verse of 100 systems if you can only do the equivelent of walking to the end of the road and back. Unknowingly almost all my ships have turned out to be long range, Vanguard, 315p, Endeavor with fuel-pod. I'm going to be going walkabout.

Yes, retractable confirmed. Also that the modular BUK packages swap across all platforms--sounds like any Vanguard can become any other Vanguard-- the S2s in the nose will be swappable for some other, but not all S2 guns, and the turrets will be swappable! meaning there is something of choice to be had with the tuuret itself, beyond what weapons it holds. Could there be a radar dish coming in the Sentinel? See time index 8m:
They're free to fly this week. Fly 'em and buy 'em!

This is me with VTOLs.
I am not having my game play crippled by short range and not being able to land on planets comfortably.
