solo or gang
solo navy mega cause it can fit a nuet and light drones
vindi for pure dmg in a gang when there is some one else with a nuet/lights

brings me to a question, would a vindi really need light drones if you had 2 fed navy webs and a maxed claymore in gang?

I fly the navy mega solo because of the heavy neut and light drones, like said.
for gangs a vindi does more dps, but with less EHP. The stats are very similar to a navy mega, but you can push the vindi over 1650dps if you really want to, which you cant do with the navy mega.
Also, concider the vindi is twice the price. but you do gain an ECCM/sebo and 90% web (or dual web)

I can only fly the Navy Mega - but haven't the skills to fit it properly (but getting there). However, gogo eftwarrior!
I've tried messing about with both ships and several fittings, but for me the Vindicator would be my choice.
The slot layout and bonuses win it for me.
Loadsa damage, even if you fit a Large Neut and only 4 Ogre IIs (leaves space for a flight of small drones).
Five midslots - Web bonus (10% Velocity factor of Webs) plus Tracking bonus (Gal BS V 7.5% tracking per level) and the space to fit a Magnetometric ECCM giving a Sensor Stregth of 54.9 (62.9 Overheated) *read much harder to jam with ecm*
^^ All that alongside the mandatory MWD, Scram and Cap Booster. (all faction of course - why buy a faction ship and not pimp it?)
Navy Mega is still an awesome ship but the only advantage I'm seeing is the higher HP you can achieve.

Highsec PVP is all about ganks.
The Vindi is the best gank boat there is.
Therefore, the Vindi is the best highsec PVP boat. |

You can't get the majority of vanilla T1 BS pilots out of undock range, so I doubt the frigate can do the job in 60 seconds.

I did an eft graph to test what would happen to a dramiel if it engaged a dual web vindi:
With its AB running (remember no MWD when scrammed =P ) and 2 webs on it, the dramiel will be moving 42m/s. We won't count overloading here because let's face it, you're not going to be able to overload for very long, or at least not long enough to chew through a vindi =P
Anyway, assuming the vindi sits still and the dram orbits as fast as it can, it will be taaking over 90% of the vindis damage at 5km, from guns (drones should be able to hit it at any range)
Vindi gets to dictate range because he's not webbed and therefore moves 3 times as fast as the dramiel >_<
2 90% webs and a scram is by far the best anti-frig defense out there :P

I'd use the Vindicator, Highsec PvP is all about laying down more DPS than your opponent anyways, and running or docking if they have a significant advantage.
I fly a gank navy geddon and I also own a bhaalgorn, though I wish every day that there will be a vindicator-style but armor/laser amarr faction BS released eventually.

Your Taranispilot is going to cry when he gets into web range and gets eaten up by Ogres in seconds.
Vindicator doesnt need a Neut.

The navy mega will definitly have significantly better HP and the vindi significantly better dps and uber webs.
if you think you are going to be primary or shot at by a big number of poeple the navy megas has it, if its with logi crew or small gang the vindi.

The Nightmare was somewhat towards the vindicator before the boosted the **** out of the faction ships (but left Sansha's) and that might count but it really hurts it being shield tanked. Now days the Nightmare is only true to it's name for your wallet, considering you spend 600mill on something more useless in any way then a golem or geddon
Back on topic I'd see the vindicator as the better ship here for playing docking games and thats what you should be doing solo anyway, in small gangs its still better due to better ewar (webbs of dOOm) and more DPS. It really is one hell of a battleship slayer, but i'd say the Bhaalgorn is better for taking down other stuff with it's neuts
