Originally by: Amda Tori I recently trained for a Vargur and i also had Gallente Battleship Level 5, so I bought a Machariel. So, on test server i got to test a Machariel vs Vargur in PVE ( Guristas Sanctums )
This is the fit for Vargur: [Vargur, test] Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Tracking Enhancer II Tracking Enhancer II
Ballistic Deflection Field II Heat Dissipation Field II Invulnerability Field II Shield Boost Amplifier II Large Shield Booster II 100MN Afterburner II
800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L [empty high slot] [empty high slot] [empty high slot]
Large Capacitor Control Circuit I Large Capacitor Control Circuit I
Valkyrie II x5 Warrior II x5
And for Machariel: [Machariel, test] Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Damage Control II Tracking Enhancer II Tracking Enhancer II Tracking Enhancer II
100MN Afterburner II Ballistic Deflection Field II Heat Dissipation Field II Shield Boost Amplifier II Large Shield Booster II
800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L Heavy Nosferatu II

Results: - The Machariel has a higher Powergrid than the Vargur. The Machariel can fit 1400mm Artillery with the same fit.
- The Machariel has a higher drone bay than the Vargur. ( 125m^3 vs 75m^3 ). Means you can place only 5 medium drones and 5 light drones in Vargur.
- The Vargur does have a higher damage multiplier and a better tracking than the Machariel and the same rate of fire.
- The Vargur boosts more, so you can put in Shield Boost Amplifier's place a Tracking Computer, Sensor Booster, Target Painter etc
- The Vargur has 3 high "utility slots" , you can fit a cloak, salvage, tractor, remote armor rep.
- The Vargur can tank better than the Machariel ( more mid slots )
I, for one, I'd go with the Vargur: cheaper, some better stats, few minor advantages.
If you can spend a good amount on mid slots for a mach. I'd say gist c x-large shield booster and core-x ab but I'm sure you can spend much less and still get good stuff. This is more than enough for blockade with almost full aggro. Fit 3 hardeners, a SBA is not as effective especially when your dealing with em dmg. The vargur is better when you consider sniping frigs before they get in range and salvaging as you mish (carebear needs).
