Vanguards Update Expectations Chart

This is a repost by Cmdr Alias from the ED subreddit.

Base expectations:
  1. New player mentoring
  2. Improved Guild systems, new bank
  3. Improved co-op missions, experience, rewards
  4. Panther Clipper Mk II does something unique

    Pleasantly surprised:

  5. Meaningful Powerplay integration
  6. Vanguard competition, leaderboards
  7. Expanded teams (formerly wings), multicrew
  8. More social RP tools

    Praise Braben:

  9. Large scale Vanguard wars
  10. New endgame systems
  11. New major incentives for playing together
  12. Vanguard social HQs

What are your expectations?
Will the squadrons we registerd be "carried" over to the new Vanguards Update or do we have to register our Squadron new ?
 
I really don't understand a lot of people on this forum... I don't want it so it’s bad, give me something else FDEV! WHAT ABOUT ME!

It's sad really... And quite selfish.

I don't know if Vanguards will impact me or not, I know I'm highly unlikely to make my own squadron. Whether I join one or not, I really don't care. I'm just happy that features are being added and this will likely drive better player retention, and that means the game will likely continue to be developed. You know, the game I (and you, presumably) love to play.

I mean, I don't really like exploration, but I would be happy if they added more exploration content game. Others would enjoy it, even if I don't.

While I wasn't keen on Powerplay 2.0, I dipped my toe into it and actually enjoyed it. Who knows, maybe I'll find an Aisling squadron that enjoys the same things I do, plays casually and doesn't discuss politics. I doubt it, but you never know.

So chill out, maybe the mystery update at the end of the year will be more in our wheelhouse.

Carry-on and o7 commanders.

Apologies for my confusion & ignorance here but i been somewhat out of the EliteDangerous loop recently ( aka unhealthily addicted to 'E.R. : Nightreign' ) and i just checked the News&Bulletins page , however i don't see any NEW official threads from Fdev about 'Vanguards' details & information ?

The list is just speculation. What Fdev showed in the May 2025 livestream is official.
