Direct mounts and pilot-slaved remote turrets are different assignments. See Pilot-controlled armament for documented slaving and crew override. Mount size alone does not establish installed gun size.

| VariPuck S5 Gimbal Mount weapons | Size 5 · 2 mounts · quantity 1 |

4.10.2-LIVE.12881860. A bridge-controllable flag alone does not identify the pilot as operator. Documented pilot slaving is described separately above.
Current independent corrections are reflected in the facts above and in catalog search, filters and comparison. Imported reference data and immutable review history stay intact. Material corrections earn current hull credit once per contributor and independent reviewer, not per revision. Existing private ship wishlists can receive one in-app notice; no email is sent.

SC Nomads planning advice. The linked visual guides contain controls, illustrated steps and dated sources. Hull-specific facts: CIG DefenseCon 2956: Guardian single-operator role and variants; checked 20 October 2026 , reviewed 20 October 2026; no current range/loadout test.
Confirm Guardian identity and inspect weapons, fuel and condition. Use the system lesson instead of a QI or MX screenshot.
Ready when: You know the installed equipment and ordinary fighter task.
CIG distinguishes base Guardian, QI and MX roles. No interchangeable specialist fit or dampener follows from the family name.
Use the existing bounty target/mode/weapon cards in an authorized objective. Monitor actual power, shields, ammunition and damage.
Ready when: You can explain why the target is valid and whether to retreat.
Heavy fighter is not invulnerability or a shield preset. If the interface differs, inspect saved bindings rather than import an unrelated fighter shortcut.
Leave while the return remains possible. Land through normal services, inspect the mission result and check the fitted ship before another sortie.
Ready when: Objective state, ship condition and available supplies are known.
A destroyed-looking contact is not always completion. Long-range marketing is not a current fuel calculation; a claim does not guarantee cargo or the exact fit returns.
Selected community reports, checked 2026-10-20. Confirm the current price and availability at the terminal before spending aUEC.
No dated offer included for this hull yet. This does not mean it is unavailable.
Rentals are temporary access, not ownership. The PU rental timer continues while logged out, and rented component loadouts cannot be customized. Daily rates above do not establish discounts for longer rentals. RSI rental rules (updated 2026-04-28).
In-game purchases are distinct from pledges and may be affected by Alpha resets. RSI in-game purchase guidance.
Pledge availability and real-money prices have not been checked in this snapshot. Official ship information. An in-game offer does not establish pledge availability or that a game package is included.
The official description identifies a single-operator heavy fighter. Start with a manageable objective and keep target identification, flight and system readings within your workload.
1 advertised crew. This is an advertised crew reference, not a solo recommendation or passenger-seat count.
Record my Guardian setup and resultsA friend can escort or teach from another ship. Agree separation and retreat; do not recruit an imaginary onboard gunner or assume the base Guardian has QI equipment.
