I love my Vanguard Warden LTI

Also don't star with the: OMG THE HARBINGER IS BLACK AND YELLOW, TEST SHIP CONFIRMED ........

No, no no no, bad boy/girl, bad.
Well especially since it's the Senti that is Black/Yellow. The Harby is that kind of military olive drab one.

There are "Battle pack kits" being sold, for $45 you can make your Sentinel into a Harbinger, and retain the black and yellow color scheme!

I'm curious if the Battlefield Upgrade Kits have LTI or however that works out. I might have missed something about it or I would buy both. I understand it doesn't change the status of LTI for the ship itself but it sounds like it might be part of it as well.

Goddamit, I didn't need to know I could buy kits to swap out the internals. That is all kinds of snazzy. The only thing I don't like about the Harbinger and Sentinel models is they lose the big BRRRRRRT gun.

I would love that they keep the turret from the concept that folded into the hull of the ship, that was something I loved a lot and was really original

yeah I would like to keep the big dakka as well

I am pretty happy with the way they offered us lots of options for the Vanguard, as this will let me have one combat/bomber/ewar ship without having to buy 3 hulls.

BUK's follow the same insurance that's applied to your hull.
You can also reuse them swapping between the kits just like modules.

Essentially they ARE modules and the hulls are EXACTLY the same, CIG just wanted to sell it again with LTI in different colours (that we'll be able to change anyway)
Not that I'm complaining, I think it's quite excellent. Vanguard best Guard

So, bit of a question: If I already have a Warden, and I get the Harbinger and Sentinel battlefield upgrade kits, I effectively have a Vanguard with all three BUKs, right? No need to buy the Warden BUK?

My father in law, RSI and TEST forum name Ducenucom just picked up the Harbringer specifically so he could fly with TESTies and offer his services :) He loves the way you guys are and can't wait to join in on the fun! Any ideas as to where he could be of assistance in the future?

Of course if you let untrained people play around with heavy construction equipment, they might make a killing too.
Actually... If some people can charge for skydiving lessons, pottery class, or Bob Ross styled oil painting workshops, then why not an adult-child's dream come true of a BIG ASS sandbox where they get to rent earth movers by the hour after safety training and a commensurate amount of legal waivers? Dig a trench! Build a sand castle! I would absolutely pay money for that, and I've seen stranger stuff...

If he's like the fathers-in-law I've known, he'd be superb at leading the "Stop banging my daughter and make something of yourself" brigade. ;)

Welcome, Mister Ducenucom, and please know that KingNerd has acted in nothing less than in an exemplary, chivalrous fashion with your precious offspring! We look forward to adding your factory-fresh Harbinger to our collection of well-intentioned, yet flaming wreckage!
