Veles Vanguard

undefined

The Veles Vanguard is a ship in X4: Foundations.

Description
"Designed and produced by the Antigone Republic after the Jump Gates began to realign, the Veles-class freighter is more compact and self-sufficient than any other freighter-class ship before it; the reason why it became part of the on-going technology exchange between the Republic and their Argon Federation allies.

''Built using a highly modular design, many ship designers have taken the base Veles model and reorganized it, as well as making their own changes to the internal systems, to sell an ever-growing number of variations on the ship. However, the Veles remains a popular choice among traders and station builders."''

- In-game Encyclopedia description.

The ship that inaugurated the new L-sized family of the Argon merchant fleet, the Veles was originally designed by the Antigone Republic, but its Vanguard variant is only produced by the Federation. As with all their ships, the Veles Vanguard favors speed and maneuverability in exchange for overall hull strength and cargo capacity.

A well balanced freighter, its indicated for transport operations that require a faster delivery of wares to stations. Still, with its 36,000m³ cargo space, it can haul a decent amount of cargo in one run. Its strongest point is the agility because the AI can maneuver it easily for docking at stations and around Jump Gates.

However, most players may find the Veles unappealing for purchase and operation due to arguably better options available in the market, such as the Mokosi and Shuyaku-class freighters.
