*The Vindicator does an insane amount of damage, and add to that the tracking speed bonus and the effectiveness of stasis webifiers bonus and this ship is a force to be reckoned with in Vanguard fleets.
*To maximize on this ship's strengths, it is recommended to have an off-grid booster using an Interdiction Maneuvers Warfare Link. This will allow your webs to stick out to 19km+.
Basing their design on the Federation Navy's much-vaunted Megathron, the Guardian Angels' engineers set out to create a battleship that would instill fear in anyone fool enough to square off against the Cartel or its Serpentis protectorate. Based on the reputation this ship has engendered, they seem to have succeeded admirably.
