Zooish	Posted - 2006.10.16 22:54:00 - [1] After many, many, many months of training I am now able to fly a T2 Vagabond ... The current setup (after raiding the piggybank) is .. 5 x 220mm Vulcan AutoCannon II (Barrage) 1 x Medium True Sansha Nos 1 x Domination 10mn MWD 1 x Domination 30km Warp Scrambler 1 x Gista Small Shield Booster 1 x Large T2 Shield Extender 3 x Gyro Stablizer II's 2 x The things that cannot be Mentioned 5 x Warrior II's I woundered before I lose this ship to the 1st Merlin I encounter could anyone give me some hints and tips in regards to tactics. Thankyou in advance for your help and time.
Wrayeth Tabula Rasa Systems The Star Fraction	Posted - 2006.10.16 22:57:00 - [2] Um...don't put faction mods on a ship that fragile? -Wrayeth "Look, pa! I just contributed absolutely nothing to this thread!"

Chain Gang	Posted - 2006.10.16 23:01:00 - [4] Sometimes faction mods can save your arse .. I think he was after more "combat tactic" suggestions. We all know the safest thing is to stay docked but then Eve would be kinda boring.

Roxanna Kell BURN EDEN	Posted - 2006.10.16 23:10:00 - [6] loose the booster, mount another shield expander. in combat you wont have cap to run em all. unless the battle lasts over 4 minutes you are better off passive tanking. and get Light ECM drones isntead of warriors. especially if you wanna solo kill battleships.

Wrayeth Tabula Rasa Systems The Star Fraction	Posted - 2006.10.16 23:18:00 - [7] As for flying the ship, use barrage, period. Never enter web range if you can avoid it. The moment you get webbed, you're *****. Also, watch out for faction webifiers and ships such as the huginn and the rapier - they can really ruin your day (though, if you're in range to hit with barrage, you should be able to kill a lone huginn or rapier with little effort if it's not jamming you). Orbit between 15km and 20km to avoid the risk of getting hit with a domi web. As the above poster stated, ECM drones are your friend. Lacking a web of your own, they can help you get out of web range and turn the tide of a fight. In regards to fighting ravens, you are most vulnerable when the MWD is active and your speed is not yet sufficient to cause the damage to be significantly reduced. If you're fighting a raven and your MWD isn't active, turning it on while the raven is firing at you could result in the loss of your ship. -Wrayeth "Look, pa!

Roxanna Kell BURN EDEN	Posted - 2006.10.17 00:13:00 - [8] yeah, if u have to go clsoer, dont, its usually a an anti vaga/frig set up. Quote: "Don't touch the red button!"
Airios	Posted - 2006.10.17 00:16:00 - [9] bah! That setup lack domination gyros.. ____________________________________________________
Aeaus Tharsis Security	Posted - 2006.10.17 00:50:00 - [10] Originally by: Airios bah! That setup lack domination gyros.. 100(1.125/.895)/(1.1/.895) = 2.27% DPS Difference. 160M for 10-20 Extra DPS, not worth it in my book.
Shadow Mancer The Splinter Syndicate SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2006.10.17 00:58:00 - [11] And try to stay away from Curse, they can drain u in no time leaving u cap-less and u won't be able to MWD away from him. Remember, if he's using a tracking disruptor on u, your guns will never hit him, never. Watchout for AC tempests too, with barrage they have a good chance of hitting u even when u orbit around 20-25kms.
Kassidus Gallente Hidden Agenda Deep Space Engineering	Posted - 2006.10.17 01:40:00 - [12] I would say loose the sheild extender, in a ship that fast, id think you would want to go with the fact that your harder to hit, not make it easier, maybee put on a sheild recharger instead? or an invuln field, resists are always better than more sheilds.
Foulis Minmatar Chosen Path Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2006.10.17 03:05:00 - [13] ph34r rapiers and huggins. And I really want to loot your can. ---- Originally by: Nikolai Nuvolari NO WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARE SPELLED WITH THE NUMBER "8" IN THEM GODDAMNIT!

Resists are not always better than more shields. For a hit and run ship like the Vaga you will get more value from the extra shields. The vaga doesn't have huge amounts of cap to be running hardeners or boosters. It is also a very fast ship so the hit you take to sig radius is not a particularly big deal. If you have bitten off more than you can chew you do what the vaga does best....run away very fast. Note: you'll need PDU IIs as I recall for that 2nd extender however.
Dahin Euphoria Released Euphoria Unleashed	Posted - 2006.10.17 03:12:00 - [15] Edited by: Dahin on 17/10/2006 03:11:52 nvm
Ishquar Teh'Sainte Euphoria Released Euphoria Unleashed	Posted - 2006.10.17 05:18:00 - [16] wouldn't it be much more efficient to get used to the style of a vagabond through flying around for a few weeks in a t2 fitted stabber? so that you learn the basics for the ship (though vagabond is a much better ship than a stabber - you can still learn a lot from flying with the t1 version) ... anyways tips that you read on the forum won't safe your ass - in a combat situation you need to be able to react instinctivly(sp?). ___________________ -Skellibjalla- Life is a garden of perceptions.

Matrices Sunbound	Posted - 2006.10.17 05:41:00 - [17] Definitely fly around in a stabber or jaguar beforehand if you haven't already...learn the basics of soloing, learn the intricacies of the systems and regions you are planning on hunting in. 90% of staying alive in that ship is the legwork of doing pre-combat intelligence. The rest is fairly easy.
Spaced Skunk Yesodic Nomads Corp	Posted - 2006.10.17 11:25:00 - [18] - Stay out of web range as much as possibe - Only use HAIL ammo in a gang - If your finding it hard to hit a target, fly in a straight line, the target ship will start to do an approach movement reducing thier transversal (I think...works for me) - A Raven with Javelin torps will surely kill you - If engaging something that uses drones as a primary weapon, destroy them ASAP, this also applies for any combat support drones - Dont use stabs, use nanofibers instead..
