Ability: Vanguard Wingmen

Overview[]

Vanguard Wingmen is a built-in Starship Mechanic only available to players using Jem'Hadar Vanguard starships. Starships in this category include:

Game Description[]

Vanguard Starships are issued two loyal Jem'Hadar ace pilots. These expert pilots fly their own Jem'Hadar Vanguard Heavy Raiders (Alpha and Beta) in formation with you, never straying far from your side. Their extensive experience in team-based tactics allow them to execute powerful maneuvers. All Maneuvers share a cooldown, and only one may be active at a time.

Wingmen may not be ordered to attack specific targets, but will instead rapidly update their targeting parameters based on your chosen target. If destroyed in combat, each Wingman will automatically rejoin you after a short lockout period has passed.

Maneuvers[]

Polaron Strafing Maneuver[]

Polaron Strafing Maneuver makes wingman vessels to micro-warp to your side, then initiate a forward-facing scatter volley barrage dealing a large amount of damage to any foes in a wide area ahead of you.

Instruct your wingman to make a run at the target, firing a volley of Polaron shots continuously while doing so.

Ability/User Rank	Range	CD	Ability Effects
N/A	10 km	20 sec	Cone AoE Polaron Damage Targets Foe For 15 sec: Instruct both (or specific) Wingmen to fly towards the target from your location To targets in a 45 degree cone (Scales with polaron damage.): ______ Polaron Damage

Structural Reinforcement Maneuver[]

Structural Reinforcement Maneuver increases Shield Resistance and applies rapid Hull Healing for several seconds. May target any ally, including your other Wingman.

Instruct your wingman to follow the target and provide increased shield resilience and hull healing.

Ability/User Rank	Range	CD	Ability Effects
N/A	10 km	20 sec	+Shield Res, Heal over time Targets Friend and Self For 15 sec: Instruct both (or specific) Wingmen to follow the target To target, while the Wingmen are within 2km: +25% Shield Resistance +1,950 Hit Points every sec (This is misleading with most other things in vanguard pack. These actually heal only 650 HP every second. Similarly how separating Heavy Attack Craft only gives 0.06 turn rate to Vanguard Carrier, how Gunships do not have Attack Pattern Lambda and other problems mentioned in the Vanguard Carrier page.)

Divergent Shielding Maneuver[]

Divergent Shielding Maneuver focuses on a targeted foe, draining their Shields over several seconds while also weakening their Shield Resistance.

Instruct your wingman to follow the target and destabilize their shields while draining them.

Ability/User Rank	Range	CD	Ability Effects
N/A	10 km	20 sec	-Shield Res, Shield Drain Targets Foe For 15 sec: Instruct both (or specific) Wingman to follow the target To target, while the Wingmen are within 2km: -25% Shield Resistance -750 All Shields each sec

Link/Unlink Jem'Hadar Wingman Maneuvers[]

On the PC version of Star Trek Online, players can link the maneuver powers such that both Wingmen will perform the same maneuver simultaneously. Wingmen must be available to perform the maneuver. It is also possible to unlink them in order to instruct different maneuvers for each Heavy Raider.

On the Playstation and Xbox versions of Star Trek Online, the Wingmen are always linked and cannot be unlinked.
