The Vanguard Warden you have already purchased comes with the base equipment. If I have a Vanguard Warden and I buy a Sentinel BFUK, do I also need a Warden BFUK to go back to my initial setup?
The standard model uses Behring M4A lasers, the Sentinel has two distortion cannons and two MaxOx electron guns and the Harbinger has four higher damage lasers. (Manufacturers have yet to be assigned.) The four secondary guns are also different.
VANGUARD STAR CITIZEN DRIVER
The central gun on the Warden is an APOC Death Ballistic Gatling gun, while the central guns on the Sentinel and Harbinger are a plasma gun and a mass driver rail gun, respectively. The weapons for the Harbinger and the Sentinel are still in development with the component pipeline, so they may different somewhat in appearance from the versions used in the concept art. Yes! All three Vanguards will have different nose guns. Is the main nose gun on the variants the same or different than the Warden? People keep speculating the Harbinger has railguns, but I see no text that confirms that. (It’s likely, for instance, that the base Vanguard might be hangar ready before the variants, in which case variant owners would get a loaner ship to fly.) The limiting reagent here is that there are some additional weapons and technologies (see next question) that are being developed for the variants independently of the ships themselves (the same is true of the UI/process for switching them via the holotable.) The plan is for the BUKs to be available in Arena Commander and for you to be able to change them using the holotable, although we can’t guarantee that this will happen the day the Vanguard becomes flight ready. When the Vanguard is Flight ready will we be able to swap from the variants and vice versa if we own the Battlefield Kits for Arena Commander?
The Sentinel and Harbinger packages will include LTI, while the Warden will include two year insurance (because it was offered previously as part of the base ship this prevents anyone from being able to game the system and create a new version of an already-existing LTI ship.)
VANGUARD STAR CITIZEN UPGRADE
With that said: like the Retaliator modules, the two new Vanguard Battlefield Upgrade Kits (BUKs) will include LTI. It is a minor convenience to reward backers who supported a concept early (Star Citizen itself for the base ships and individual concepts later.) You should not base your plans on the LTI status. This is, by far, the most popular question! And so we’d like to begin with the standard disclaimer that LTI does not matter. Will the battlefield upgrade kits come with LTI like the Retaliator modules? We will also be premiering a new piece of concept art with each Q&A post, available to the right below the blueprint.
These questions have been reviewed by designer Calix Reneau and will hopefully clear up anything you’re wondering about the ship. This week, we’ll be answering questions collected on the forums on Wednesday and Friday. You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers! Last week, we kicked off a concept sale for two new variants of the Vanguard deep space fighter.
