. . .changes from the new ships page:
They now officially have 3 different types of weapons fitted to the 4 fixed S2 slots on the nose, so now you can choose at the least between MVSA laser, Ballistic and an unannounced and unseen S2 "distortion repeater" on the Sentinel. Means we should see more distortion weapons in the future. Very exciting!
Harbinger now carries 4 S4 Missiles. I think earlier they had said S5, but not certain.
All 4 variants carrying the same Medium Radar (which is larger than most fighters) and 1S+1M computer save the Sentinel has 2M computers. Pages says they all sport 2X shield generators but I know the plan was for 6 so expect this to change.
Rotations in the 60's */s, acceleration in the 50's M/s. By comparison, the Hornets have 70*/s rotations and 80 M/s accelerations, so we are talking about 40% slower. No tweaking is going to make the Vanguard into a dogfighter.
