{{List item
|VectorLock Thrusters
|This innovative thruster design allows for effective mass manipulation by placing the twin nacelles at optimal distances from the ship's center of gravity, enhancing stability and expanding combat maneuver options. The nacelle system efficiently dissipates heat from critical components, reducing wear and improving engine efficiency. Combined with the Redeemer's tactile throttle and advanced flight controls, it creates a unique flying experience for the gunship.<ref name="RedeemerFlyable"/>

|'''The Next Great Starship:''' The Redeemer was designed by a group of Star Citizen's backers called Four Horsemen ([[Paul Dalessi]], [[Tobias Frank]], and [[David Simon]]). It was chosen as the first-place winner of [[The Next Great Starship]] competition.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/13933-Four-Horsemen-Wins|text=Four Horsemen Wins!!}}</ref><ref name="wiptng">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/14098-WIP-The-Redeemer-TNGS-Winner|text=WIP: The Redeemer TNGS Winner}}</ref> 
|-
|2018-02-05
|'''The Doldrums:''' Even though it was the winner of TNGS competition, its final design didn't sit well with the developers. So it laid dormant in development. It was one of the few hangar ready vehicles that didn't become flight ready for years, as it was not required by the [[Persistent Universe]] and ''[[Squadron 42]]'' in 2018. Apart from that, it had multiple design issues that would require significant rework.<ref>[https://youtu.be/TJSk3xaEc7k?t=841 Star Citizen: Calling All Devs - Of Golf Balls and Tessa]</ref>
|-
|2020-05-19
|'''Change of Roles:''' The original role of the Redeemer was to be both a gunship as well as a boarding/dropship. During the development of Squadron 42, it was decided to create the Vanguard Hoplite instead of using the Redeemer as the games dropship, mainly due to the Vanguard's ability to fit inside the Javelin's hangar. This left the role of the Redeemer in limbo for many years. It was finally decided that its role should solely be a gunship and so development finally proceeded on this basis. In [[Fleet Week]] 2020, the reworked Redeemer made a debut with a holo model in game. In [[Invictus Launch Week|Fleet Week]] 2021, its physicalized, albeit incomplete, model was on the showroom floor.
