The Vanguard is a Sniper-Class T4 Ship. It fires two high power lasers from the front with powerful recoil and a moderate rate of fire. The Vanguard is the largest of all T4 ships. Although it has an impressive attack, it has poor shields and is quite slow. It is, nonetheless, a wonderful ship once upgraded. This ship lacks a strong shield, energy regeneration, acceleration, and ship speed. But the energy capacity, laser damage/speed, and the turn speed are amazing. It has an average mass of 200 and closely resembles an ETA-2 Starfighter.

Due to its recoil, upgrading all but damage is useful initially. It is a decent miner due to the high damage (although its poor acceleration makes it difficult to collect the crystals), but is very slow compared to other T4 ships. Since it has relatively low shields, it benefits more from defense pods than attack pods. Since it has the highest damage per shot of its tier it is effective against lower tier ships, killing them in only a few shots.

Although this ship is extremely slow, it can move quickly by using its extreme recoil to its advantage (although it does go backward). The recoil exhibited by the ship was even more extreme then the U-Sniper, and the well-timed shots can allow it to retreat very quickly. It is one of the best at using RCS to retreat in the entire game, and it is good at quick duels in Asteroid fields. The Vanguard is the most agile level 4 ship in the game with its maxed agility equivalent to that of an unupgraded FuryStar.

Note the recoil was reduced so it is not as extreme

This is a very popular ship as it is easy to get to through the powerful, fast mining Pulse-Fighter. When a group of these ships in team mode attacks, it usually completely rips apart the other team. The Vanguard upgrades to U-Sniper, one of the worst or best (depending on how it is played/upgraded) tier 5 ships, or the FuryStar, which has mediocre stats but is the most agile ship in the game.

-Vanguard is a Sniper-Class T4 Ship. It has large damage, being the largest of all the T4 ships. Although it has impressive attack, it has poor shields and is quite slow. But nonetheless, a wonderful ship. What this ship lacks is shield stats, energy regeneration, acceleration, and ship speed. But the energy capacity, laser damage/speed, and ship agility is amazing. It has an average mass of 200. It closely resembles a ETA-2 Starfighter.
+Due to its recoil, upgrading all but damage is useful initially. It is a decent miner due to the high damage (although its poor [[Agility|acceleration]] makes it difficult to collect the [[Gems|crystals]]), but is very [[Speed|slow]] compared to other T4 ships. Since it has relatively low shields, it benefits more from defense pods than attack pods.  Since it has the highest damage per shot of its tier it is effective against lower tier ships, killing them in only a few shots.
+Although this ship is extremely slow, it can move quickly by using its extreme recoil to its advantage (although it does go backward). The recoil exhibited by the ship was even more extreme then the [[U-Sniper]], and the well-timed shots can allow it to retreat very quickly. It is one of the best at using [[RCS]] to retreat in the entire game, and it is good at quick duels in [[Asteroid]] fields. The Vanguard is the most agile level 4 ship in the game with its maxed agility equivalent to that of an unupgraded [[FuryStar]].
-When an attack group of these ships in team mode attacks, the other teams get ripped completely apart. The vanguard RIPS through them.

-As a ship with recoil, upgrading all but damage and agility is useful. It is a decent miner due to the high damage, but is very slow compared to other T4 ships. Since it has relatively low shields, it would benefit more from defense pods than attack pods.  Plus it HAS REALLY HIGH DAMAGE and is usefull against lower tier ships.
+This is a very popular ship as it is easy to get to through the powerful, fast mining Pulse-Fighter. When a group of these ships in team mode attacks, it usually completely rips apart the other team. The Vanguard upgrades to [[U-Sniper]], one of the worst or best (depending on how it is played/upgraded) tier 5 ships, or the [[FuryStar]], which has mediocre stats but is the most agile ship in the game.
-The ship however, is extremely slow. It can move quickly by using the extreme recoil to it's advantage. The recoil exhibited by the ship is more extreme then the [[U-Sniper]], and the quick timed shots make the recoil retreat very quick. It is probably the best at using [[RCS]] to retreat in the entire game, but it is no good at quick duels in [[Asteroid]] fields where agility is required.
