Ok, so a bit of background:
To make my ISK currently I run missions for an Amarr corp located in Caldari space. This being the case, I obviously get a roughly even balance between Laser-friendly missions and those which aren't so much so.
Well, right now I am hopping between a Paladin and a Golem depending on the mission. My issue (if it can be called that, more annoying then anything) is currently to do so, I switch between a gunnery clone and a missile clone. Everyone knows how irritating frequent clone jumping is, bleh. To heighten my annoyance, I have gotten very bored with missiles as I started my Eve life using them because grasping the factors involved with gunnery were a bit much at first.
Anyway, to get to my point/question:
I am considering training for a Kronos or Vargur as a replacement for the Golem to use in those missions where a Paladin is sub-optimal. This would allow me to just have the single gunnery clone so I would no longer have to repeatedly clone hop.
So, all this being said, I assume that with me being in Caldari space, the Kronos would generally be the better option over the Vargur, correct?
Thanks in advance for any opinions and/or advice. Sorry for the long post, just woke up and I tend to be long winded when I haven't had my coffee.

Correct, and the Kronos will have higher racial armour resists against the stuff you encounter in Caldari space. As long as it's not a FW corp with missions vs the Matar. |

why not just use the golem for everything. Missiles are good for any kind of high sec missioning. |

Maybe get a clone without bonuses specifically for missiles or guns like halos or snakes or something. Also yes the Kronos Wil be the best choice in Caldari space |

Fair enough.
I would just go with a vargur then since it has damage selection and pretty nice range in comparison to the Kronos. |

The biggest question is "who is your Worlds Collide"? If the Caldari Space is overruling the Amarr corp and you're getting Serp/Guristas then maybe there's a value in the Kronos but I would probably go for the Vargur... (especially if it were the Sansha(or is it Blood?)/Angel). Though the increased mobility is of minimal effect to most due to Bastion the selectable damage, the long range on high RoF, high tracking guns (if Auto fit - haven't tried the Vargur with 1400s yet; haven't needed to) is a very potent combination. Yes, you're generally attacking the second lowest resist (Thermal) rather than the lowest (Kinetic) but it still wrecks mission rats very rapidly. |
