Hi, yes I equiped my Harbinger with size 3 repeaters in the turret, no issues. Also, the harbinger has 500 more hp than the Sentinel. Combine this with a -5% reduction to physical damage and a - 15% reduction to energy damage ( Sentinel is -2% and - 10%) along with its 3 size 5 torpedoes ( Sentinel had the Emp instead) the variant simply packs a heavier punch than its sibling at the cost of agility. I will aquire another one after the wipe. 😀

Sentinel is the squishiest but has an EMP. E warfare still does not exist. Warden is the most agile but difference is negligible. Hoplight is the weakest version with no outstanding features over the others. There. Now you have useful info to make a decision.

Originally I had planned to just get a Hoplite and then get my Sentinel and Harbinger BUKs out of BuyBack because CIG announced that the Hoplite would now also have a modular middle section due to the rework where CIG used the Hoplite as a base from which to recreate the Vanguard variants and give them more of that shark shape instead of the initial release that looked more like a whale. Prior to that the Hoplite was the only hull-locked variant; which was also why the price was lower than the Warden. Now however, Hoplite owners will be able to swap out that middle section (once modularity comes online ofcourse). Now I said that I originally planned for a Hoplite but thanks to some discounted Warbond CCUs I was able to chain a Harbinger together instead for less money than I would have had to spend on a Hoplite (my Harbinger with LTI only cost me $145). So now all I need is to get the Sentinel BUK out of BuyBack at some point; provided that the Sentinel will still prove to be interesting once CIG has finalized the ship and made the ships modular (the Sentinel was never meant to have that EMP generator and it also has no physical space for one anywhere on the ship). 🙂

Note on the bespoke nose guns, with the new stagger fire mode cannons are a bit more effective in dogfighting due to hitting hard but the ROF being spread out instead of in quad pulses. The repeaters on the other hand are just like having a firehose of death. Yes, technically its still the same ROF, but with it cycling between guns its like having a single size 2 repeater with a 2400 RPM fire rate.

Warden is my favorite. If I want torps I'll use a bomber. Emps are gimmicky when you introduced skilled pilots. The Warden with its massive hull HP gives the skilled pilot time to tank and destroy multiple targets in quick succession. Often leaving 1v3 situations with minimal to moderate damage depending on how sweaty the opposing forces are.

We need missions (perhaps a space station PvE dungeon thing?) with limited landing space as to better justify Dropships. In a game where everyone can have their own ship with near unlimited room to land, it's kinda hard to justify dropships as their own class. Well, that or they can introduce drop-pods that makes dropping soldiers double as a mini-bombing run directly on target

As someone who's owned a harbinger, and now has settled on a sentinel, There's nothing like knowing you have those torpedo's in your torpedo bay so you can just make what's in front of you disappear. However, the sentinel is a little more comfy for my playstyle, and if I can disable ships that decide to attack with some friends, well, free scrap and components for me, hopefully. But to be honest, I love the original 3, they all hold a special place in my heart, a size 5 ship gun shaped hole with beds.

@@buzzfightbeer8023 Honestly, main reason I stuck with a Sentinel is due to the EMP, I've decided I was going to be more of a salvager than a fighter, got myself 2 EMP ships for the task and plenty of means to strip down ships onto my liberator. Sentinel is a great ship if you need support in those means, or you're looking to disable a ship without damaging it so much, but if you don't care about that, keep that Warden or go up to a harbinger if you want to disregard the safety of the escape pod and just like seeing ships go boom. Ewar will be curious, but its not fully implemented, assuming it will be more of a "disable ships without doing too much damage to them" type of playstyle at the end of the day. Which, I'm all for. TL:DR If you got a good crew and some friends to work with that need ships disabled, Sentinel is the way to go, but if you're just solo, maybe might have another friend with you, and you want more safety or destruction, Warden or Harbinger can't do anyone wrong.

@@RedLir_Live It is indeed peculiar and could simply be a temporary fix while waiting on a bespoke rocket turret. The previous Harbinger had those same S3 rocket pods but they were forced onto the hardpoint and once removed they could not be placed back. So it looks like instead of spending time on making a bespoke S2 rocket launcher; CIG decided to take the easy way out for now and simply increase the hardpoint from S2 to S3. Personally I'm fine with this decision as I think that every manned turret needs at least 2xS3 with S1-S2 turrets being more for automated defense turrets; but we'll have to see if CIG will keep it as-is or if they will give it that special reloadable rocket turret. 🙂

Awesome ship, I just hate the way the tail portion and the landing gear looks. The Harbringer is my favorite variant.

Harbinger. Thank you for your attention.

Originally the Vanguard was concept-ed as being able to fulfill all the roles that its variants now fill but in a single ship. Then they made the decision not to do that and their form of apology was the battlefield upgrade kits (BUKs) that came at an additional cost on top of the base warden that people got. This was both a sour and happy note for me; sour because I had to pledge even more for getting what was additionally advertised, and happy because the BUKs also came with LTI insurance which meant that the additional loadouts would always be covered by insurance (essentially it was getting LTI on swap-able componentry!)

Is still available, you can buy a legionnaire for just $100 and get a hoplite as a loner. The EMP on the Sentinel is just a placeholder. The Wardens pop afterwards speed is about 100 meters per second faster than the other variants. The Harbinger has a size 3 turret whereas the other variants have a size two turret

Sentinel or Harbringer depending if you need your mark in one piece or many small ones. Want to just roam around, see what you find? Warden. Not a single choice is the bad one, there's just some weirdness regarding stat differences, one being inexplicably tankier and another is heavier despite seemingly carrying the least hardware. It may not be the best option if you're playing solo, but neither really is Star Citizen as a whole.

The hoplites rear ramp makes it entirely useless in a combat as a dropship.

Its current configuration is basically a well armed shuttle that cannot deliver it's personnel under anything less than perfect conditions. The harbinger makes perfect sense as a long-range mini torpedo ship the sentinel also makes a great deal of sense in its concept and I really hope we see truer e-warfare coming through to Star citizen, I'd love to see a capability like projecting false radar signatures or potentially hacking enemy systems etc However I would have preferred the retracting remoteturret seen at whitebox, the current one really breaks some of the beautiful lines and looks more WW2 than space age

They're custom made for these ships only. I.e. you can't fit them to other ships. Cheers!

Ive rented the warden and my only gripes are ballistic guns and thats only because it has no freaking ammo come on guys give us reloads just give it a ridiculously long cooldown.

Can u get this ship without paying 250?

Sure. All 4 are available in game.

@8:23 The Hoplite has been considered a "variant" and so can swap modules/use BUKs along with the rest since they reworked them in 2019 (they basically gave all the Vanguards the Hoplite's bigger/better ramp). kzread.info/dash/bejne/qH-qq8GedNO1l8o.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/qHuF0rJum8eok84.html

Good stuff!

I cant wait until this game gets to EVE online proportions of player interaction where entire org's will go to war with battleships and all

its like an pelican

sentinel for the win

SENTINAL!!!!!

the harbinger was really good in 3.13, unfortunately the whole vanguard lineup is kinda meh since they decided "they don't want metas" and made all weapons the same....

Classic WEEOO ships!

The S4/S5 nosegun just ruins the looks imo, Gimme 6-8 S3`s in the nose area instead. also im sad to see the turret aint retracting into the hull when not in use, as the concept did

Hoplite/Warden are the best cause you can CCU to other ships and will be able to change interiors to E-War suite and Torpedoes. Sentinel/Harbinger are bad choices cause they are too expensive, severely limiting CCU options.

I find it amusing that warden variant is essentially "grey warden" 😂

I'm not sure if they changed it, but the last time I checked, it's guns were only available by purchasing the ship even if you wanted to use them other Vanguards. I'm not sure why they weren't put in game for purchase.

They made it an 8 minute minimum like 6 months ago, even KZread had to change their rules so they could get more money.💀

You guys and girls don’t leave that weak ass size 4 Gatling gun on the nose switch it out for the AD5P Gatling gun you won’t be sorry! The size 5 gat has over 2400 rounds and if you’re good enough at picking your shots you can bring through pretty much every ship in the game with it in under a minute! I normally buy the harbinger and replace everything on the nose with laser versions except the gat and I upgrade shields and power plant and coolers only. The stock q drive is too fast and gets me everywhere I wanna go!

With it's crippling nerf to agility, I really don't see the point in owning these at this point in time. I'll CCU my Warden into a Retaliator Bomber. Currently these really don't do anything better than other ships... PVP? Any agile fighter (Arrow, Gladius, Karthual) will SMOKE you, often without you being able to even hit them in return... PVE? Any Constellation will outclass this massively with it's bigger shields and bigger guns... Unless you are a massive whale with tons of other ships, or you just looooooove the looks for some reason, I'd give these a definitive pass right now...
