*This is not an update but a new small master.esm, If using on an existing game, remove REAL Vanguard missile launcher, save, install REAL Vanguard Weapons & Ship Modules, then load, do NOT select to download REAL Vanguard missile launcher, then select CURRENT.

On June 23rd 2026 I created" REAL Vanguard Missile Launcher", it was my very first Creation and was instantly popular with Vanguard fans who have been waiting for a lore-friendly, not overpowered fix for the immensely under powered / energy hog disappointment called the Tempest missile launcher.

Over the past month I have had multiple players ask me if I had any plans to overhaul the rest of the Vanguard ship weapons. Well, here they are:

I have reworked all 5 Vanguard ship weapons as well as the Vanguard shield generator and the Grav-drive as well. I have bumped up the stats as listed and made adjustments to firing speed and power consumption, as well as the Class required to use them. There are no longer any "Class-C" Vanguard weapons. I made this decision based on the desire to make these available to all payers weather you just started the game, or if you are 2,000+ hours in your 10th NG+ game. There are weapons with Class-C stats, they are just labeled Class-B now in order to make them more available, and the ones previously labeled Class-B are now Class-A, including the shield generator. I also changed the names to reflect the new models.

Also I added something new to the rework of the Tempest missile launcher. The Vanguard Apophis missile launcher has Auto-Lock Technology, no more waiting for your missiles to lock on, just select your target and fire away. Enjoy!
