I was recently looking at some of the new screenshots and saw that the Vanguard tank was not only in the possession of New Conglomerate units but also (in other screenshots) a Vanu and Terrian. Is this just because someone hijacked it, or maybe the devs allowed the usage of it for all empires (in beta), or has it become a common pool vehicle?

The links for the screenshots of a Vangaurd for each empire are:

A person with an REK from any of the opposing empires, hacked the vehicle pad, and stole a Vangaurd.

to quote, all you do is click the quote button on the bottom right hand corner of the person's post.

you can quote text by copying it the typing
"quote" inside these brackets []
before the text. Then typing
"/quote" in brackets []
after the text. Minus the quotes of course. lol :love:

the TR one does look very good, but I think that the vanu one looks very bad :p

I like the NC one best, looks like it has a lvl of pride with being so bright that the other colors lack.

The thing is probably that the Vanguard just happens to be a bit overpowered right now , so everyone tries to steal one when they can.

Either that, or they're using the Vanguard model for all three tanks, because they don't have the model and/or animations in for the others.

Or they're letting everyone use the Vanguard until they can get the other tanks in.

It could be any number of reasons.

I think that it is just that they said that they had everything in game, so the vanguard is prob just being stolen from NC guys, and pics are taken when that happens vs when you are in your normal tank

just a guess

I think in early development the Vanguard chassis was the base for all the tanks, it's been changed now tho..

The first 2 shots dosn't even match the current Vanguard, only the last one does that. Old shots, hell the terran one shows 2 barrels... and the vanu one has the wrong barrel.
