1. Guardian (Standard)

Design Notes

Use: Vanguard, Assault, HQ and Kundalini Manifest.

Tougher than it's counterpart the Oneiros, it relies on capacitor chaining to regenerate cap to be fully effective.
Minimum recommended skill level is Logistics 4 (along with Remote Armor Repair Systems 4, Energy Emissions Systems 4 and Multitasking 3).

With the above, a pilot with :

Logistics 4 -> needs to receive 2 large cap transfers to remain cap stable.
Logistics 5 -> needs to receive 1 large cap transfer to remain cap stable.

The armor resistance is focused towards the EM/Therm side to minimize Sansha laser damage - this is the greater danger.
Sansha missiles don't do significant damage due to the already high Kin/Exp resist, low signature radius and AB.

Fitting is a major challenge with the lack of CPU and PG.
The need for the faction ANP, Meta4 large remote armor repair and T2 ancillary current router rigs raises the base fitting cost for this ship significantly.

Note1:
To save cost, the second T2 ancillary current router rig can be downgraded to T1 rig with a minimum Squire PG4 implant (3% powergrid).

Note2:
The Centii/Corpii/Coreli A-type ANP can be downgraded to the cheaper C-type ANP.

Note3:
A similar alternative tank can be fitted with an Imperial Navy EANM and 2x faction hardeners.

Note4:
The remote sensor booster can be swapped for tracking links (depending on the CPU availability).
Fitting an ECCM is generally not recommended due to the short exposure time to jamming NPCs (which is always primaried by the fleet).

2. Guardian (Advanced)

Design Notes

Use: Vanguard, Assault, HQ and Kundalini Manifest.

An upgrade from the standard configuration with T2 large remote armor repair.

Its EM/Therm buffer is reduced by 15% with a corresponding increase of 27% for the Kin/Exp buffer.
This affords greater survivability against the fighter bombers Compact Shade torpedos in the Kundalini Manifest site.

A minimum Squire PG4 implant (3% powergrid) is required.

Note1:
The Centii/Corpii/Coreli A-type ANP can be downgraded to the cheaper C-type ANP.

Note2:
The remote sensor booster can be swapped for tracking links (depending on the CPU availability).
Fitting an ECCM is generally not recommended due to the short exposure time to jamming NPCs (which is always primaried by the fleet).
