The Progen Sentinel (PS) is the toughest of the Explorer -class pilots within Earth & Beyond and excels at prospecting in the most dangerous areas. The PS can use Shields, Projectiles and Devices up to level 9. It has good armor (55k), prospecting, and device skills. The PS's Repulsor Field skill is like having an extra weapon, causing a ship protected with it to reflect a portion of an enemy's attack back on the attacker. Similar to the other Explorer classes, the PS does not contain as many cargo slots as Traders. Like all Progen, the PS suffers in speed and agility due to its heavier, damage-resistant armor. The Sentinel is a versatile all-rounder, blending Explorer talents with Progen toughness.
The PS is the one class all other players turn to when they need to redistribute skill points. The Sentinel's unique Call Forward skill strips all skill points away from the skills to which you've applied them, and returns all your earned skill points to an unspent status. This allows pilots to re-specialize and assign their skill points differently creating new and interesting builds. Progen Sentinels can only obtain this skill after they attain Overall Level 135.
