Any idea's for a 1v1 vagabond setup? I can't get them to stay still long enough, by the time i've got double web on them, they fly out of the other side of the modules range at 5km/sec.
Same problems with NOS, drones seems to work ok, but the drones have problems keeping up with the ship.
Any suggestions/ comments welcome (other than learn to fly a vaga)

Edited by: zwerg on 04/07/2007 14:57:41 a myrmidon with heavy neut drones 4x Ion Blaster II , 2 Neuts, Double Web, Mwd, and a good tank will do the job.
slowly, but surely
edit: better idea: 5 medium neut drones ( faster ) and 5x Vespa II ( more dps )
will kill it better

I immagine that faction webbers and overheat ( + 30% webbing range) will help u.

Edited by: OeOeOeOeO on 04/07/2007 15:09:32 there is.. an alternative.
kk so webber drones are quite slow.. 2000mps or so and the vaga is doing ... 5-6kp/s in orbit.. now you detatch 5 webbie drones and he is just guna laugh at them following.
BUT! because the webbie drones are so slow compared to his ship by the time he has done a 20-25km orbit of you the 10km range of the webbies goes into effect.
so it's kinda like.. setting a trap.. which he wont suspect.
anyways by the time the vaga has begun locking/poping ur drones it's too late, he will have done 1 full orbit and hit the drones in which case you move in with this setup:
myrm: 5 electron II 1 nos
mwd webber webber scrammer cap booster
2x med rep II 2x overdrive 2x eanm II
drones: 5 webbies
rigs: speedy rigs
it does indeed work as i've done it in the past against nano battleships in a domi.

How big of a NOS do you need to put some hurt into a heavy assault ship (I.E a Vaga?).
I know what cap they can hold, but are they usually set up ok with cap boosters, or do tyhey rely on re-charge only?

this really does depend on the pilot, most vaga pilots can run their mwd and disruptor for eternity and orbit outside nos range. Resulting in their other 2 mids being LSE II
anyways, on the deimos no people generaly don't Ishtar.. most people who want to live do. zealot- no again 3 mids is very limiting. sacre- most do cerb- unless it's an active tanker/nano nope. eagle- probably muninn- 3 mids v limiting. ---------

If vaga is moving at 5km/s he is not shooting you :) and i don't think any bc have problem tanking 5 light drones.
The way i kill vagabond is just letting them think you are going to die and then without any notice try to reach 13km from them and dual web with overloaded fleeting :)
if they react in time you can start tanking seriously and asking backup or whatever, if he get caught while not yet engaged mwd (like it always happen when webbing at 13km so far) they can try to make what they want but 5000 - 90% = 500 - 90% = 50.
You have mwd, you have dps and you have tank, just get within 13km from him and fit a t2 scrambler, overload it and when you engage your "approach" scramble him or when you web he will warp away istantly if already ordered so to the ship.
I made this some times in the last days and always worked with a tempest, with a bc is about the same, just be sure to be able to out-tank him for plenty of time otherwise it can turn into a veeeeery slow death :)

Not my problem, i don't know what you fit but while moving 5km/s at 20km is pretty hard to track something with barrage, at least for doing a great damage.
Then think how you prefer, i never was hitted hard by vagas orbiting with mwd on, i always saw them shutting off mwd as soon as they were beating me and engaging it as soon as i tryed to take them.
But my last 3 kills are 3 vagabonds :) overload is making me a happy man!
Orbiting with mwd on is a drone/missle user business, not for who use cannons even if 220/180mm got a great tracking at 20km and it can sure hit not so bad a battleship.

well there is a few reasons why living vaga pilots keep their mwd on and they are:
if someone else is mwding at you, your transversal slows. missiles don't hurt (too much) guns can't track keeps you outa nos range keeps you outa webber range overdriving ur 3000mps ship at me ain't guna work matey 
and i personaly orbit at 25km ---------

He is partially right Ryssa would agree that most of time vagabond need to use superior range to pound enemy and use speed to keep that range. Orbiting will diminish your dps enough that you get in a very risky situation of not kilingthe target before cavalary arrive.
Some funny setups i already saw defeat (make run) a vagabon d were Butix with rails and TP and track computers :) Impressive hwo these thigns can hit pretty well at 20 km even a very fast target.

oh yeah 1 more thing, any vaga pilot should have their mwd online all the time they arn't in warp, even if they don't orbit (nooby pilots) they should used "keep range at xx" and stay at 20odd km.
You approach- they move away. ---------

Do you actually fly a vaga because from what I've read and my experiences with a stabber if you shove a MWD on when orbiting and go at 5km/s you ain't hitting ****.

vaga and stabber r very differnt.
for one the vaga has 2 more lows so with snakes u can add more tracking mods and still acheive 5kp/s meaning ur guns track alot better, and i use dual 180mm myself- more tracking- more survivability. ---------

Sorry, but this is bs.
You should NOT have your MWD running all the time, even with dual 180 II's, with MAX skills you will stop doing almost any damage after you go faster than 3-3.5k/s in orbit.
Also from what you are saying, I can conclude that you don't have a clue about how to fly a vagabond ... no one in the right mind fits tracking mods on a vagabond...
Regarding the person who is so proud of killing stupid vagabonds with overloaded webs that he has to post it in every thread - it will pass once people realize what your real range with webs is...
@ zwerg, it's not possible to do anything to a vagabond with the setup you said...
On topic: First of all, let's make one thing clear, if you kill a vaga with a battlecruiser, he has already screwed up (unless you are overloading domination/db/ts web). That said, you can try to do some yo-yoing in orbit, baiting, etc.
If you want, you can try to not attack him, and go back to the gate all the time. If he decides to bump you, dualweb him at that very moment, and he's toast.

Edited by: ArtemisEntreri on 04/07/2007 16:37:19 Vagas don't keep mwd on 24/7 you clearly haven't flown one if you say that, there is no way you have the cap for that and no matter the tracking enhancers you won't hit in mwd orbit.
If you want to catch a vagabond a battlecruiser isn't really the one to do it, however a hurricane could catch a bad vagabond pilot, wait for him to go in orbit, they'll orbit at 15-25km depending on their setup.
Dedicated vagabond killer would be something like this
6 d180mm autocannons 2 medium nos/ neuts
10mn microwarpdrive 24km warp disruptor webber cap injector
medium armor rep x2 explosive hardener damage control ii 2 overdrives
2 polycarbon rigs
a cheaper setup would be
2 nanofibers instead of the overdrives and 2 speed rigs auxiliary thrusters or something
Once he starts shooting you hold still for a bit, wait for him to get into orbit then hit mwd approach him, most vagabond pilots aren't quick enough to realise what's happening until it's too late.

Tracking enhancers give very little to tracking itself, the multiplier is a lot lower than from tracking comps.
From a tracking PoV fitting them is a complete waste. And vagabond has no room nor reason for tracking comps.

Let him continue Ryssa.. long time since I last killed a vagabond, the mre badly fitted ones flying around the better.
Anyway maybe he is orbiting afreighter at 5 km/s then he can likely get the hits he claim.. the question is.. why orbit at 5km/s a freighter?

If you want to kill Vagas with your Myrm/Cane/whatever it's time to invest in a faction web. End of discussion as far as I'm concerned.

Harbinger
7x Heavy Pulse Laser II (Scorch M)
cap booster scram web tracking comp
2x MAR active exp eanm 2x Heat Sink
After tracking buff, heavy pulses will hit a vaga aslong as it stays above 10km, and if it doesn't, he gets webbed (ofc if the vaga goes to 5kms you may struggle, but in that case he's not hitting you either).

Ok and like, why would he hang around a pulse harbinger again?
There's lots of ships that can SURVIVE and make a vagabond run away, I think OP cares more about actually KILLING them. Artemis' setup was actually the only viable posted so far.

A domination web could be the key secrect, or maybe the warfare bonus, if i ma not mad there wsa one that increased web and scramble range. You just need an alt to be in gang with you :P

/me think Ryssa should make acorp called Vaga Pilot school :)
I have been flying a vaga, not for long, maybe a week now. I can from my little experience say that the only way to loose a vaga is by pilot error. A good pilot will always be dictating range thus never get in web range (excluding highly expensive and overloaded pimped webs)
Also a good pilot will stay outta web range, or kite out when being nossed.
As for the ...5km with tracking comps .... can i have some of what you have been smoking, cause i have searched there forums to death for vaga setups and don't recall a tracking computer vaga lows for speed and Gyros .. mids for MWD n tank .. highs for guns n Nos. The only other posts i've seen are with PDS II's in the lows
