The Jem'Hadar Vanguard Gunboat was designed as the workhorse of the Odo's new Dominion fleet and can be seen as the successor to the still in-use Jem'Hadar attack ship. Powerful and armed to the teeth with Dominion weaponry, they are more than capable enough to take on the forces of the Hur'q.

Standard-issue (rare) Jem'Hadar Vanguard Gunboats come pre-loaded as part of the standard equipment of the following vessels:

Special abilities[]

Evasive Burst[]

Vanguard Gunboats come equipped with a unique active ability named Evasive Burst. Visually and perhaps mechanically, it appears identical to the player ability Evasive Maneuvers. It provides a brief increase to Flight Speed, Turn Rate, and Defense for the pet. For higher quality variants of this pet, the ability rank is greater, buffing the active bonuses. No player facing stats exist for this ability.

Playable version[]

Vanguard Gunboat - Pet

A Jem'Hadar Vanguard Gunboat.

There is a playable version of the Vanguard Gunboat that currently exists in-game.

Modifiers[]

Hangar pet performance may be affected by various factors (unless stated otherwise), all listed below.

  • Innate
    • All Hangar pets are immune to warp core breaches and have a unique version of the Strategist specialization ability "Layered Defense", known as "Layered Defenses III", which makes them immune to a single torpedo hit every 30 seconds.
    • Starships with Hangar Bays by default can use Carrier commands, a set of four abilities that issue orders to your Hangar pets.
  • Subsystem
    • Auxiliary Power level will determine the recharge rate before a Hangar pet can be launched again; if Auxiliary subsystem is knocked offline, the Hangar will not operate.
  • Skill Tree
    • Skill Nodes
    • Unlocks
      • Adm eng fed 5 points in Engineering track: Hangar Health: Hangar pets have an additional 10% Maximum Hull Capacity.
      • Adm tac fed 5 points in Tactical track: Hangar Weaponry: Hangar pets deal an additional 10% Damage from all sources.
  • Starship Mastery (Carriers, Flight Deck Carriers, Flight Deck Raptors)
    • Mastery passive quick deployment tac fed Quick Deployment: 20% recharge time reduction to launching Carrier pet crafts; +50% Rank Up XP for all Hangar Pets.
  • Duty Officers
    • Flight Deck Officer: Reduces the time to recharge Hangar Bay abilities after use.
    • Flight Deck Officer: Increases the accuracy of any carrier pet launched from your Hangar bays while they are in Intercept mode.
    • Flight Deck Officer: Increases the damage of any carrier pet launched from your Hangar bays while they are in Escort mode.

Notes[]

  • Although all versions of the Vanguard Gunboats list them as having Attack Pattern Lambda (Further reinforced as the playable version is a Pilot ship with access to said ability), Vanguard Gunboats do not have this ability.
  • Similarly they do not have the ability "Ramming Speed"
  • Additionally, the pets seem to have an undocumented ability in the form of Beams: Overload I/II/III (upgrading with each pet variant) in addition to Beams: Fire at Will. Upon selecting a target while Carrier Command: Attack active, they will always prefer and instantly activate Beams: Overload
  • Unlike Jem'Hadar Fighters and Fighter Squadrons as well as Support Frigates, Vanguard Gunboats upon launch are stuck in "Attack" carrier order, and cannot be put under Escort nor Intercept modes. This prevents them from receiving Active Roster Officer bonuses. Clicking individual orders or general orders that effect both hangar bays might show as they are in effect, but upon clicking intercept, gunboats will not get into formation with carrier, will not move out to defend target upon clicking escort mode, nor will they ever dock.
