Ok they did the retro fit on the atlas and nuke cruiser, which did not need it really at all....but ok.

When will the vanguard, which needs a retrofit so badly there are not words for it, get a retrofit? Has that been announced at all?

Just wondering it has been commented on yet.

    it wasn't a limited hull

    just has to be a flag-ship

    Who cares if it's flagship only. It was weak even when new!

    Level 74

    That's about it.

    I agree it was weak even when new....thats my point entirely. Give the retrofit to a ship that...well desperately, needs it instead of ships that already rule the sea's.

    just sank one in an unknown fleet - too easily killed - retrofit won't help that much

    I agree with this post.  It is a shame that this flagship is receiving so little attention from the Forsaken scientists.  Bring it back to relevance!

    Spoken like a true Mod...let's just hope it is an impressive retrofit and not a lame duck like a few have been.

    he means that while its nice that you stopped by and took the time to make a comment you didnt actually tell us anything that we didnt already know or could have worked out for ourselves. :D

    Yeah that pretty much sums it up, but the fact he said the retro would be coming soon is a very good piece of info that does not dodge the question if it is ever gonna be added to the lab.

    HIJACK!


    Any chance the LCX will go into the retrofit lab with it? Might as well retrofit the nearly biggest hull and nearly the smallest at the same time. :smile:

    i would rather see a corvet in the retro lab than lc/lcx cuz people actuialy build corvets for sub flag ships lc/lcx are useless i have only seen one person have one built and that was for a different cosmetic look for a sub fleet flag ship

    Ha... look at the stats on the LCX. base armor is 320 so it is instant repair even when not at raid 1/2 repair levels (ok, 20 second repair). Equip it with strike system 3, 3xtorrent1, and 1xD63-B. The strike gives the torrents the same range as the D63-B. With the same range as the torpedoes you have mounted to your subs and still at instant repair it makes an excellent flagship for any sub fleet. The damage from the torrents is a bonus, you can usually take out an interdictor before it goes down. I put one together like that originally just to have a different cosmetic look but then when I was ranking it I discovered that a single LCX so equipped can solo a level 40 salvage without taking any damage! Get the rank up there and it will often have time to get off two torrent1 salvos before it dies.

    vanguard is not a limited hull your'll see when its in next hull and maybe you need to look and see where it is in yh bp lab, if its in with all the non-limited hulls its not limited hull, if its in ya limited part off bp then its limited but just because a hull is a flagship only hull don't mean its a limited hull but the vanguard can be built 100's off times just like the rest off the non-limited hulls  
    it wont be any time soon since its a limited hull  , unlimited builds limited to flagship only

    Not sure how I missed your comment but you sir are wrong, It's not a limited hull and it will be coming into the lab.

    Rarely see ay Vanguards being used. I think Kixeye also looks at what hulls are used or likely to be used after putting them into retro lab. An increase of the tactical module range might help there. I mean, my seige topr took out the Vanguards in the URF's while just staying out of the ed field!

    1) Cargo from 1.162.048 to 4.321.789

    2) CS 9 to 11 and TS 13 to 15

    3) Ballistic defense 50% and all other defense to 30%

    4) All weapons reload to 30/40/50%

    5) Tactical module range to + 50%

    would still rather use a battle barge a over an lcx or even a maurader
