A commentor mentioned to me that the Aegis Redeemer had a similar flight profile to the Vanguard, and it's true that it now does. In earlier redeemer patches, the ship used to fly like an impervious sack of potatoes, then in 4.0 they made it more maneuverable but also made of papier-mache leaving little reason to fly it over a prowler. Now it is a balance between the two and is weirdly performs fairly well in this patch. Its bounty hunting capabilities I would rank slightly under the harbinger due to a tad less instakill power but I would also rank its general patrolling/security/scouting capabilities a bit higher. So if you care more about keeping Stanton safe rather than just putting people in prison, this may be a good alternative.
