UC Vanguard Ship Mods?

[Bronze Dragon]

After your first mission on the UC Vanguard questline, Tuala mentions they gave me some free custom ship mods. How do I see what those are and claim them?

It's weapons you can buy at the ship technician.

Yeah, found them. Not impressed. There is a very beefy shield generator, but I'm having trouble finding a reactor to power the stuff I have. Now THATS something they could've provided - a halfway decent reactor!

Here's a list of the weapons.

The Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojector is awesome because it's max power 2 so you can put 6 of them on your ship, and it's class A so you don't need points in piloting skill to use it.

If you level the starship design skill you can get one that gives you 28 pips as early as level 12.

The class A weapon and the shield are both awesome.

You don't need to power the shield all the way up for it to be great. At 50% power, it's still better than anything you can get without ship design ranks.

The weapon is also one of the best in the game due to its high rate of fire and low power usage (only 2 per weapon, allowing you to have 6 of them).

Hell, why stop at 6? Put it in two banks.

The game doesn't allow it. Only one set per ship.

Vanguard has the strongest B-class shield in the game. Also they have the highest damaging ballistics. Someone did the math and the Vanguard miniguns, if you equip all 6 of them, deal 800 hull damage. And those are A-class guns. you wont see damage that big until you get to the C-class lvl 60 missile launcher.

from my pov the vanguard modules are for people who want to tinker but dont have the engineering levels to do it.

The strongest B-class shield generator is unlocked relatively early and has faster regen compared to the Vanguard one and ballistic weapons aren't good to begin with.

But particle weapons are good, and the Vanguard weapons are among the best in the game.

No there's nothing replacing the UC Vanguard shield, sure at max the energy use is high, but it's still a valid configuration with like double shield than max other shield, an option, but an option with no equivalent.

I play max difficulty since long in my current play and pretty sure an important aspect was when I used this shield with 2/3 power, and now since some time with 100% power.
