Disco Lando just announced the Vanguard Variants: Harbinger and Sentinel to be in Design Review. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baOd4MLeFkM at 31:52 So in behalf of all the Vanguard owners and lovers, the original concept is what we love and the current version is not in a state that we like or want to have, so I was first exited to hear this. No I was overwhelmed, because it seemed that CIG finally listened to all the feedback and hope we gave the Vanguard to get reworked. But Disco's wording isn't clear, are ALL Vanguards getting a ground up rework to the new standard or just the Variants, are all Vanguards getting the original inception or just the Variants...? This might be the last option for the Vanguard to get what it once was, the original concept, or atleast something close. About me: I bought the Vanguard in the original concept on March 28th 2015. I remember getting out of bed and seeing that beauty. I fell in love immediately and even have a picture of it hanging in my Bedroom going to bed with it every day, but since the Hangar Ready state it was a rollercoaster of emotions and hearthbreaks with this ship, all I ever wanted was it to be like the concept, Gurmukh even did a whole 3D model that was amazing with great functions and cool looking elements. I just think a ship which was put so much dedication (and money) in shouldn't be treated like that, I think it deserves more... So I am asking CIG, is there a chance that we are getting what we want, we need? Or are you really going to ignore any feedback and wishes we put into this ship over the last two and a half years? This is my dream... and not just mine, all I ask for, is what we got teased with in the concept. A brutal looking beastly ship, which could take a beating and get out alive, a ship which was design-wise so cool and original, therefore loved by many backers. Please listen to feedback from the community, there are people way better at describing what is wrong with it now and what was great about it before, than me. There already was a great discussion about this ship, led by CIG, here: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/331395/let-s-talk-about-the-vanguard/p1 Most ships get a rework (e.g. Mustang or Starfarer), when the current ship pipeline develops and changes. So these ships look in line with other ships and therefore fit into the ship linage of a manufacturer. Since the current ship pipeline of Aegis is changing, with the Raven, Eclipse and the newly announced Hammerhead, this is the exact time to think about changes towards this ship. Therefore I ask for a rework of this ship, not specifically a return to the original concept (even though I do suggest to do so, since it was a exceedingly great design). So to get to my actual question: CIG, Is the Vanguard Warden, as its Variants, getting a rework to get "aspects of their original inception" back or are only the Variants going to be in design review for now, mostly orientating towards the current Vanguard design?
