Redeemer versus Vanguard: how is that match-up supposed to play out?

TBD, I guess. I mean, Star Trek II, each according to his own abilities and so on.

Whenever people ask those questions about this ship versus that ship, the best example we got of how that's supposed to work out was our Gamescom demo, when the Retaliator was supposed to win that fight with a Connie. In every playthrough, the Retaliator was supposed to win that fight, and then the crew got in there and the crew made their own destiny. So it's not so much about this ship versus that ship. It's about that crew versus this crew. So play better and you should be all right.
