I'm a vagabond pilot that just dropped the close to 3b isk for a high grade snake set, and the other nice hardwirings (5% velocity, 5% to mwd speed). My skills are accel control 4, nav 5, fittings are Domination 10mn mwd, 2x domination Overdrives, Nanofiber II, and 2 polycarb rigs. My max speed is only 9.5 km/s. Does this seem right? Ive seen vagas 14km/s with out gang boosting.
My first thought is, they are liars. I brought out my alt with a claymore and skirmish spec 5 command ships 4 no mindlink. Top speed: 12.2 km/s. Am I missing something? Is my setup crap? Am I crap? or is it bugged?

Your numbers are consistent assuming those polycarbon rigs are T1. With T2, the speed goes up to around 11km/s excluding hardwirings.
To get to 14km/s, you'd need three overdrives, a nanofiber, the mwd and t2 rigs + all the implants you have *I think*. But in answer to your question, you're getting the right results.

I struggle with the reasoning behind dropping 3b isk to make your Vagabond go that fast.

You can pick fights when you want, and get away from the best laid gate camps with no problems whatsoever

Because he can now keep up with max-skill T2 fit inties. Trust me, seeing a vaga do the same speed as you when you're tackling in an expensively rigged inty will make you **** one.

t2 fitted no implants is all you need really,... too much speed might just even kill you when u jump into a new camp that hasnt shown up on map and mwd back to gate and bump yourself off it ,. not fun losing that ship + pod

This.
4.5km/s is faster than any other cruiser in the game. Past 5km/s and it's just e-peen wagging. (not to mention your base speed is probably too fast for your guns to track)

Its certainly not pointless, you can bounce off a gate or lag out on jump with 4,5k/s as well, the catch with superfast vagas is that you dont need to burn back to the gate, you can just run away.
Ok, expensive luxury yes, but pointless, no.

belive me, one sad day, you will meet a nice gate camp with a dual sensor booster huggin with dual/tripple web or even a small gang with 2-3 ppl camping the gate which you decide to engage and then a rapier uncloacks.
After this you would realise sitting in a cloning facility, that a vagabond that goes only !!! 4k/s and cost only !!! 100-110 mils with fittings is more then enough to kill ppl and have fun roaming around.
And if you want to .... in a station or around high sec space, then your setup is simply exelent.

Until that time though, I think your having a blast.
As for a single huginn with dual web, I personally dont think their a real issue. You'll have enough time to MWD away from them and inertia will do the rest. Not sure if triple webs would do the trick, or what would happen if you run into a speed-fitted huginn (now they could actually be nasty).
And if you do not notice the rapier uncloak your a bad vaga pilot.

its nothing to do about being a bad pilot and not nociting rapier, it depends if you r running away from them, what direction you r flying.
But most of the time, exept if you r not allinged to the object, you would be dead.
