I was just wondering is the vagabond a good level 2 and 3 mission running ship? And if so could people post some good loadouts? Thank you. |

I tend to believe that you spend as little as possible to achieve your desired result.
In that light, there are many ships that are cheaper than a Vagabond that will handle a level 3 mission just as well or better.
Personally I use a Jaguar, but a Cyclone is probably ideally suited to both level two or level 3 missions for between 20 and 30 million each. Fully fitted Vagabond is about 130 million.
But the main reason is that most missions have webs. And a webbed Vagabond isn't much better than a Stabber (3.5 million).

I used Vaga for running L3 missions fast. It worked well, but I'm sure something else would have worked better. With Dominion changes to projectiels I bet the Vaga is even better in the job I used it. No salvager or beam, just because I was running the missions through. Use rat specific ammo and drones if you like. Troll as you like, it did the job it needed to do and it did it fast.

Edited by: Dursun Idris on 17/12/2009 08:56:30 Actually vagabond is a good ship to do l3(even 4) missions at 0.0 and/or at while hostile targets around... Enough dps and tank to handle missions and good at getting away when you realise someone is coming for you. Any standard fitting will do, if you feel your tank is a bit low just replace a speed mod with a passive tanking one. With matar t2 shield resists and layout it's a very good hac for passive tanking. In such cases don't forget to fit a cloack.

Vaga is nice for farming level 2 and some (but not all!) level 3 missions to get your standings up quickly.
I'm not sure if this has changed recently, but you also used to be able to speedrun level 4 missions like 'worlds collide' and 'cosmic anomalies' in a vaga getting you crazy LP figures (up to 15k in 3 minutes for worlds collide in 0.0)
When will TQ hit the 100K PCU mark? Place a bet! |

No faction or plex mods, same dps and more tank - unless you run into kin/explosive npc's which quoted set-up have %50 more tps. Still i won't reccomend that myself, having too much pricy mods when missioning in low to null sec, **** may happen any time. And in high-sec, there is little to no point using a vaga. Get a cane :P
PS: Swapping a specific hardener with a LSEII solves well the explo and thermal damage problem also.

You can fit it like a passive drake, it gets a 600ish dps tank, but does crap damage (350ish)

Setups with no TE's/Ambits is bad for farming low mission standing

While I still think there are better ships for level 2 and 3 missions, I do sometimes use mine for 0.0 ratting.
It cuts through the big rats quickly enough. If you orbit at between 5 and 10 k you will avoid most damage. And people don't really mess with you. You can evade many gate camps. And maybe score the occasional PvP engagement.
I use the classic Vagabond setup for this. But with a cloak just so I can go AFK whenever I want.
