Star Citizen is like a blind man sailing on the ocean. You can't see when you are about to hit rough waters, or have a really great day out.

For navigating the rocks, fly up or down to get out of them and then parallel the border of the field until you're over the target. The rock spacing clears out better as you approach the target from above or below the field

In the vanguard , that happens all the time. Just walk forward and sit in the pilot chair. Straight forward dont look left or right. Just walk straight forward and you'll arrive at the pilot seat. Press F and sit there and that will reset your position to the pilot seat. Bug bypass advice

My tip for asteroid fields is use the ping. It highlights them up to a far distance so you can judge when you will be coming up on one. And a lot of times you can find a line with no asteroids and just point that way.

@Olli43 thanks for the videos, always great! I equip my Vanguard by ammo speed: 1400m/s or 700m/s. There are no S5 weapons that fire 1400m/s ammo, leaving you with MVSA and CVSA if you run a S5 on the nose.

every glitch through the floorboards gets me closer to end game

If you want a multicrew Crusader Ares Inferno experience, try putting an AD5B on the chin and 4 CVSA ballistic cannons on the nose (And set them to staggered fire). You get nearly the same DPS as the Inferno, but you can have a friend in the turret to help out. And you can do box missions and other stuff that needs a ship interior. The only problem is the ammo. You could also try an Ion-type setup with an M7A on the chin and you have a budget Ares Ion. As other comments have pointed out though, it's best to have a fixed size 5, simply because the 4 size 2 guns can't gimbal. Most size 5 guns have a cannon's velocity, so the 4 nose guns I run are usually cannons to match projectile velocities. Personally I like to run with an M7A and 4 CVSAs. The 4 CVSAs I have in the seond fire group and staggered, so they fire more like a single repeater than four cannons. Just use the M7A by itself until you get into a position for sustained fire and let rip with both fire groups. The DPS on the Vanguard's great. Even better with a gunner.

I really look forward to these Star Citizen adventures. Love your channel.

Blasphemy about the looks! The Vanguards are the Fighter helicopters of the Verse. They just need a button to open the door from the side. I once lost both sides of my ship and the thrusters were gone. I had to use bottom strafe to make it to Grimhex after QTing just the cockpit and the body area. I managed to crash land at the hangar door.

Love your videos man! Keep them up - and even have some longer ones, love seeing the verse 👌

Asteroid Avoidance Tip! Turn on "use boost when braking" in your settings. Hit TAB to ping your surroundings as soon as you arrive. Pick a spot of empty space revealed by the ping wave near the target marker that has no asteroids. Fly full throttle keeping your TVI (Total Velocity Indicator - the < > marker) in that spot of empty space. When you need to slow down, you can do so quickly AND ensure that you won't hit anything by holding your SPACE BRAKE button. While space braking, your TVI direction is locked, so you can pitch and yaw at will without affecting your overall direction. Use this to put your bottom thrusters so they push against your overall direction or flip around entirely for a turn-and-burn, which will use your main thrusters to slow down as quickly as possible. Space brake will always fire every possible counter thruster automatically while you hold it down. Doing this, you'll be able to navigate asteroid fields at full speed, crank out hard turns, stop on a dime and never worry about hitting anything. o7

You said it looks ugly, so it used the shadows to hide in embarrassment! Also, it actually says in white (high contrast from the hull) paint above the door: "STAND BACK WHEN DOOR IS IN OPERATION"

I think you are at a point where you really should start to dynamically manage your power triangle. If you disengage, there is no need to have full power on weapons. Use the time you are not shooting to reload your shields & booster

I like my Vanguard Warden, it is a chunky tank of a ship. The double tail reminds me of a particular WW2 plane. Some people like to take the big gimbal off to do a S5 fixed laser repeater like the CF557 Galdereen or the Lightstrike 5 laser cannon. A fun build is Lightstrike S5 laser cannon for the finisher BFG and for your quad main nose guns use ATVS distortion repeaters. They eat shields faster then disables ships systems so they crash or are unshielded sitting ducks for the cannon. If a player is attacking you in a fighter and you hit the cockpit glass it always glitches out their HUDs and target pips for a moment and the pilot gets blurry vision. You will always know if someone is using Dist weapons by their blue/purpleish colored bolts.

D: The Vanguard is the most beautiful of all the smaller ships! ...Oh yeah Ollie, I see you found one of the most frustrating bugs with the Vanguard. FYI, you have to log-out with a helmet on in the Vanguards because you never actually spawn IN your bed; but floating next to it. A workable fix is to crawl towards the turret & then get in the turret. It resets the physical location between you & your Vanguard. Pro tip: The size 5 repeater is trash compared to the gimbled size 4 (the ammo count is crap on the size 5 repeater - now the AD5B is Bae with the 2600 rds of ammo!) Edit: stagger your 4x nose guns for extra silliness

The main gun is on a size 5 gimbal, meaning it will only take a size 4 weapon. But if you remove the gimbal, you can put a fixed size 5 on it

Vanguard is super cool! And yes I think you should upgrade the nose mounted gun. Going from size 4 to size 5 is a crazy upgrade in DPS.

Not sure if you've built this set up yet but Fly the Hawk with NDB-26 (x4 S1) and NDB-28 (x2 S2) repeaters. The emp burst on the ship is awesome and Its nimble as hell too. Such a fun ship to fly. I run VHRTs and ERTs with it all the time. Oh haha, its got a prisoner seat on it which makes it pretty funny when picking up people that are stranded.

its funny, Vanguard's I think are the best looking of the fighters. And yeah, logging out in your ship bed is buggy. For the rear ramp entry...i think the ship still needs its gold pass so it might improve when that happens, but maybe install a spot light that highlights on the ground where to stand to open the ramp?

"Tis but a scratch" "You're missing an arm" LOL

I had to make some nachos after watching this vid! 😂😋 Thanks Olli!

I’d recommend upgrading the gimbal to a fixed size 5 and go full laser cannon build. Harbingers shred.

What do you use for your roll and yaw? Both seem smooth enough not to be twist axis on a joystick

I too need to get the reflection DLC 😄

You also need to try swaping 2 of the 4 nose lasers to distorsion ones, disabling ships and blasting them. really worth it.

Power Management Tip: F5/F6/F7 keys adjust your Weapons/Thrusters/Shields, and F8 resets. Switching to full in Weapons will charge them quickly and put a few extra repeater rounds in the mag. Full to Shields bolsters them, allowing you to take more hits before they go down. Full to Thrusters recharges boost faster and expends it more slowly. Learning to swap these as needed and manage your resources will help you dish out more damage and stay in the fight longer. o7

Hotfix was purposed to this week, so hopefully there will be better sever stability and bug.* *the persistent prayer of all SC backers Harbinger has buggy torpedoes - you cannot change them to different type, and the stock aren't fantastic. Its also less maneuverable than the Sentinel or Warden

Is there a handy cheat sheet for how to get the lag pip to work? My game options are set to "LAG", but the pip still won't stay on target. Also, how do you configure for launching multiple flares at once? I finally learned to use "G" for max missiles cued. How do you lock the gimbal?

Oh my god I just noticed the torp bay says “with love” HAHAHAHA

hello Olli, do you use any color filters or something else, your game looks so nice!

Vanguard drop gimbal buy the [Redeemer] Size 5 Ballistic AD5B has plenty ammo for multiple VHRT bounties. And 4 Size-2 Distortion. Setup 2-gun groups to save ballistics for shields down/low. It shreds!

Hey Olli, love the video, lots of fun and has me interested in this. Do you know if I can use something OTHER than a keyboard and mouse when playing this game? I am NOT a Keyboard/Mouse person and hoping there might be other options? Maybe 🙂

@Olli43 do the Laser cannons on the nose and grab a size 5 ballistic cannon for the big gun. Only has 75 ammo but its big dmg. I do the rest of the missles size 2 infared. Put the CVSA on stagger. Trust me.

Yes I also have most of those things myself. Where I log off and then log back on naked losing my gear.

For the Vanguard loadout (and for any ship with size 5 hardpoints), you can either go with a s5 cannon, which is a very big improvement from the s4 variant, or all repeaters like you did. With repeaters though there isn't that big of a difference between s4 and s5 so a gimbal s4 is perfectly fine. For PvE though I recommend the cannon loadout, you can basically wipe VHRTs in one pass before they even have a chance to shoot you back; of course if you can hit your shots. For PvP though always go with repeaters: the "bullet" velocity is too slow for cannons to hit any fast moving ship so you don't have much of a choice at the moment.

It feels more powerful than it is on paper. According to Urkel your DPS with one Rhino and 4 Gvsr is 696. If you swapped out the size 4 Rhino for a size 5 Deadbolt cannon and then swapped the repeaters for Cvsa ballistic cannons your DPS would jump up 4285….so 6 times the DPS.. good luck hitting stuff with 700 m/s amo speed though.

That ship looks like the pelican from halo when the wings are folded

i really love the vanguard i like to run it with laser cannons all the way 4 s2 and 1 s5 if you build it with repeaters they will have different muzzle velocity and if you leave the main gun on a gimbal, the 4x S2 will not have the option for a gimbal

Hold Right Alt, and tap H to cycle up more flares. A red number will appear over Decoys. When you press H or your decoy button again you will deploy that many flares

Sneezing as a pilot is very rare, and just won’t happen in high gravity turns as your body will not have enough strength to do so. If you were in a squadron you would break off slightly for a moment in order to sneeze without the risk of hitting your fellow pilots.

glad its happen to you as well this is what happens weekly to us all m8

Not many people know this but there is a hidden compartment uner the steps of the cockpit in all Vanguards. You can store a box there.

Never ever bedlog without wearing a space suit and helmet. Almost every time I wake up I'm detached from the ship and clipping. If I can manage to sit in a chair or similar, that normalizes the situation. I often wind up EVA:ing to the door once I clip through and then go inside.

lol that was a proper broken mirror

concerning your weaponry, the CF557 Galdereen Laser Repeater only has 700 m/s projectile velocity as opposed to 1400m/s of the 4 GVSR Repeaters in your nose. I have switched over to using 4 MVSA Cannons in staggered firing mode as they match the size Galdereen's projectile velocity. I now have A10 levels of Laser BRRRRRRT going out in front.

Servers were just obscenely bad today: I got killed twice alone and for no reason had 2 crashes, 3 30k and the experience was jaggy and rubbery on any attempt to enter or exit from lifts and door. I gave up at a certain point. Immagine the fun, having almost completed October Rising, or crashing to desktop as you almost landed to the admin station with a ship full of drugs,you finally managed to bring back without being killed by someone with a weird "fun sense" and willing to share it with everyone he sees.

Did u notice the security camera just above the shelf you opened, wonder if one day you will be able to view the hab area while in the cockpit?

It’s the sane thing for me and my friend 😂i think you are not alone surviving this bugs 😭😂lol great video 👌🤙

Hey! The bug on the vanguard is not that bad, usually you don't die and you can "walk through the walls" to the cockpit, however you will descend on each step you make, so go in the right direction or you will end up stuck beneath the ship, I hope this helps someone :)

I think a good way for the game to tell you that you are too close to the door, is for the developers make it to where your character verbally says to his or herself "I'm a little too close." Or "Forgot that I have to stand a little further away to open this one." Just to keep the immersion intact. Because that's what the team always strives for is more immersion. I think that would be a good way to do it.

The Vanguard is one of the older ships. Back then all ship doors were opened just by klicking the door. Before the Cutlass Steel was released the same was true for all Cutlass models. Having an actual button to press on the outside of the hull for the door to the inside to be opened was basically something that started to creep up on ships at the end of 2020, and all ships there were released since then have a more diegetic way to open them (aside from single-seater craft without actually walkable interior that is). At some point all of those older models will need to get the Gold Standard treatment and get their buttons physicalised and placed somewhere logical on the outside of the ship. There's also a container below the staircase to the cockpit. You can access it while standing in the doorway.

Good flying sir.

Great video! Game has been incredibly buggy this past week, more than usual. Logged in and was missing $250 k (Basically my whole wallet).Seems I was hacked :(

Had that happen to me the day before so I feel your pain

I don't know about it being a "funny" intro, but it was DEFINITELY relatable! 😂

im using the Omnisky XV + 4 MSVA or Galdereen Repeater + 4 GVSR as pilot weapons on my Sentinel depending on what im doing.

Yep, Happened to me more than once in the last couple weeks.

Vanguard beds are scary AF!

Lol. I can’t wait until you take the eclipse out. Love the videos and your positivity

Yes another Olli video

Gotta lay down and crawl to the turret when you wake up in the warden

I miss having the time to actually play games like this. Like I've been getting more into star citizen but only through videos because I can't enjoy the game with my amount of free time.

Space go brrrrr

I subscribed, that makes us friends now. Been playing about a week.

Get rid of the gimbal and put a s5 ballistic gattling. Little harder to keep them in the crosshairs but if you can it absolutely shreds ships apart.

They do have a way of showing you are not the correct distance to an interactable object its the darker colored green, they likely just don't want the UI to be too intrusive and immersion breaking.

Olli43 - compare the Aegis Vanguard to the WW2 Lockheed P-38 Lightning, one of my favorite WW2 planes, along with P-51 Mustang and Vought F4U Corsair.

NEW OLLIE VIDEO WOoooo

Can you post your setup for that ship?

Size 5 deadbolt and size 2 deadbolts. Cvsa I think. Brutal damage with half decent ammo capacity Vs fire rate. You used to be able to load the scimitar torpedoes from the Ballistas, however it looks like it has been patched in .2.

Some ships are very hostile to log out in. My Connie Phoenix would try to kill me constantly....

Last time that happned to me it broke the stations inventory.

Cool Video

Close to 1.5 mil subscribers🔥

I would not worry too much about the dent in the mirror....being a Vampire maybe more of an issue!

Easiest way to do ERTs without Torpedos: take a Connie, front Shields on 75%, Staggering and Gyro Mode On, PEWPEWPEW! Melting the HH in no Time 😎

Legit quantumed inside a planet. Continued to fly to my marker. Got to my destination and put my landing gear down. Rotated as to land under a landing pad. When I touched down the ship clipped back through the ground. Rotated the ship and touch down.😦

11:27 the exploding animation loading in as a white square field 😅

vanguard with adb5 gatling from centermass and mvsa cannons

Was that a vanguard you spawned outside of that happens like 50% of the time if I log out in the bed with it

I want the darn pizza and coffee to be in game and not just deco 😆

Little scratch?... tis not, your tail's off! (Doin' my best Monte Python there)

Literally happens daily since 3.17.2 began, and quite often even before that.

5:30 this is eventually be gone anyway as now the gold standard is having a physical button on the exterior

This past weekend was the worst 2 days in a row I've had in 6 months. Game breaking bug after game breaking bug. Had to do a character reset.

That's why you sleep in your space suit ALWAYS!

YOU'RE A VAMPIRE! you have no reflection! I'm calling Van Helsing!

Size 5 "Galdereen" and set all weapons to 0 (one button firing)

Lol HOW do you have so many ships! Insanity!

The glitch’s you have are 90% of what I deal with when I login I was wondering how you got it stable enough to record but I guess it is luck

would you do a video when you show your setup as you play

Since everything in star citizen is seemingly build like there actually IS something that you walk in instead of you just cant pass below a specific perimeter, having your pc work on too much at once causes different things to spawn in later then others resulting in you not having a ground to begin with followed by the ground spawning in. If you have stable internet, you dont move too fast at start and your pc is well build, not jist high specc, the game barely ever glitches out lile that. . And that guys, is why this game is so goddamn slow to program but still in the end the only possible way to create a superior product.

...never been done before... =D

I really like this game. I hope one day they will launch it on PS5

The original design art of the Vanguard was imho a much better looking ship.

Please test the Anvil Valkyrie

Can you say me which Components you use on this ships ?

What is your system specs?

The start of the video is why I havent played the game since the siege of orison event. Even then it was only for a few minutes. Im not impressed with this patch and im pretty sure most people arent with the rampant "features"

Oh damn since the hotfix this week the game went from annoying to unplayable. Until they drop a patch again that solves glitching, even more broken elevators and never ending game and server crashes, I am taking a brake.
