If my memory recalls correct , there were Meeting Stones that reminded of the todays LFG tool , but just for that instance . Needless to say , they were useless . <| sep |> Hey ZiggyD . Can you test , and show some footage of the new channel support gem ? <| sep |> Nah , having a specific style is one thing , but if you really compare the Vanguard with the Retaliator you ' ll see a lot of stuff that was simply copied over with little thought of how to make it suit the Vanguard . The tail fins are near identical to the Retaliator The wings are a scaled down version of the Retaliator ' s wings . Engines are scaled down version of Retaliator engines . Cockpit panels are directly copied from the Retaliator Engineer station is directly copied from the Retaliator Beds are directly copied from the Retaliator Doors are directly copied from the Retaliator It ' s one thing to have a specific style in mind . It ' s another just to cut and paste a ship together because you ' re in a rush to get it flight ready . The original Vanguard concepts were perfectly inline with the Aegis style as they were . As for the Carrack , I quite like it . But I ' ll agree that it played it a bit too safe and doesn ' t seem that creative . It ' s a pretty generic spaceship .
