==Description==
==Description==
The '''Vanguard''' is a very compact [[:Category:Carrier|Carrier]] and the smallest in the game. It has low [[Turrets|Turret]] and [[:Category:Fighters|Fighter]] firepower and is commonly used as a support [[:Category:Carrier|Carrier]]. The outside appears very armored, but it has rather low health for a [[:Category:Carrier|Carrier]]-class ship.

When you enter the ship through the right hangar, there will be a command room to the right. Inside the command room, there is a pilot seat and some control panels.

==Advantages==
==Advantages==
*Smaller than some other [[:Category:Carrier|Carriers]], about the size of the average [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]]; if not a little smaller, but with decent speed, making it more difficult to hit.
*Smaller than some other [[:Category:Carrier|Carriers]], about the size of the average [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]]; if not a little smaller, but has the benefit of being the fastest and most agile Carrier in the game, even being faster than most [[:Category:Battleship|Battleships]] and can be very annoying to chase and/or maintain constant positional advantage for larger ships.
*Powerful [[Spinals]].
*Versatile [[Turrets]] and powerful [[Spinals]].
*Durable [[:Category:Fighters|Fighters]].
*Durable [[:Category:Fighters|Fighters]].
*Very fast Turn Speed for a carrier, as maneuverable as many of the more agile [[:Category:Battleship|Battleships]] in the game.
*Fastest [[:Category:Carrier|Carrier]] in the game, being faster than some [[:Category:Battlecruiser|Battlecruisers]], and faster than over half of the build menu [[:Category:Battleship|Battleships]] in the game.
*Decent health for a ship of its size and speed, with a total of 10500 health.
*Powerful cannon [[Turrets|Turret]] armament mixed with AA weaponry.
*Relatively cheap to equip all fighters with AI pilots, only costing 500 robux since anyone who buys this will have VIP which gives you a free AI fighter.

==Disadvantages==
==Disadvantages==
*Only has 3 Y.Falcons.
*Only has 2 Falcons.
*Low [[Shields|Shield]] damage without using its [[Spinals]].
*If carriers with a better fighter fleet are available, use of this ship is impractical as there is only one Carrier allowed per team.
*If carriers with a better fighter fleet are available, use of this ship is impractical as there is only one Carrier slot per team.
* Large blind-spot below the ship.
* Large blind-spot below the ship.
*Spinals can be hard to aim due to the large gap between the position of the two spinals.
*Spinals can be hard to aim due to the large gap between the position of the two spinals.
* Requires the [[Galaxy VIP Gamepass]] to obtain.
*Lowest health of all Carriers, but still significantly better than several of the available Dreadnoughts.
*While cheap, it has a very high warehouse level requirement to build.
==Strategy==
==Strategy==
*A very powerful ship for killing [[:Category:Miner|Miners]] or [[:Category:Freighter|Freighters]] with since you can deploy the Y.Falcons to distract the [[Starbase]] and destroy other [[ships]] while the base is distracted.

*The smallest [[:Category:Carrier|Carrier]] in Galaxy (disputed, the ship has undergone a remodel and now has a similar size factor to the [[Stormbringer|Stormbringer's]] current model).

*The [[Sakala]] uses the same description as the '''Vanguard'''.

*<s>The model is currently broken, so that the fighters spawn too high and are hard to enter.</s> The model was fixed in a recent update when the Vanguard was re-released into the game.

*Many people are upset about the recent overhaul, preferring the old version due to the speed, small size, and amazing DPS along with good health and damage resistance. Now the '''Vanguard''' is considered a mediocre carrier due to the high cost, low health, and underwhelming power.
