Vanguard

“Heavy destroyer. It is extremely dangerous to the enemy at any distance. Integrated hull guns. And the built-in bow gun will lead a merry dance to any enemy captain during the battle.”-in-game description

Information
Can mount three turrets, three missiles, and an energy shield. First ship to have all normal weapon slots available.

The Vanguard is one of the best premium ships for beginning players due to its advantages over all other ships in its class and below; It has all three turret slots along with all three missile slots, allowing for maximum damage output until the Interdictors are unlocked. It’s also purchased with weapons of uncommon rarity, so the loadout is optimal even at stock level. Aside from that, it only costs 150 crystals more than the Raider, allowing for a player to get one within a few days of installing the game.

Sadly, as powerful as Vanguards can be, they are still overpowered by cruisers and battleships in later gameplay due to higher health, passive guns, and their ability to equip certain weapons and special abilities.
