Have there been any feature changes to the Sentinel and the Harbinger people might want to be aware of?

TL;DRThe Harbinger has changed very little beyond possibly more missiles or torpedoes, while the Sentinel keeps its turret rocket pods but will likely lose the awkward antennas and dishes for a different external look reflecting scanning and e-warfare.

Harbinger, very little has changed with it. If anything, it will be getting more missiles or more torpedoes. I think it only was scheduled to have three in that interior bay, but you can probably try and fit a few more in. They're size five, so they're big, but they're not Retaliator- or Eclipse-sized. And depending on how far we go with the exterior, I know the original concept had retractable or hidden missile launchers, which, if we were to do that, would go across all of them, and then the Harbinger would have more like underslung missile racks, but nothing confirmed there. Sentinel-wise, the Sentinel had the rocket pods on the turret, I believe. That's still planned. What probably would change on the Sentinel is it will have less of the greebly TV antennas and satellite dishes stuck to the outside of it in odd places. We plan on doing something externally for it to give the same effect, but it's probably not going to be... if you look at the concepts, they're a bit awkward looking. So we'll have something on there to reflect its scanning and e-warfare that's in line with the visuals of the ship. Internally, it has a station and it has extra computing power, and the computers are actually front and center in that pod as a sort of feature piece.
