Dark hunter345	Posted - 2007.10.28 00:52:00 - [1] nano vagabond, is there any caldari ships/setups that can stop them? I am so tired of getting pwnd by them. Pls tell me how I can fit up a ship to stop the maddness....

Rook - caldari recon 5x t2 heavy launchers, 1x t2cloak 1x MWD, 2x minmatar ecm's, 1x fleeting webers, 1x warp scrams, 2x weapon disrupters lows would be w/e to make it fit or cap help. Will it work?

No. You will cap out instantly. Don't bother with more than 1 tracking disruptor, the moment it hits him his tracking will be so awful his DPS will drop to 0. Also you probably won't need the web because he'll never get in range, so you can drop the MWD as well. Chances are no matter what you do this setup will not kill but only scare off a vagabond. To actually catch them you will need a webbing tackler, rapier/huginn preferred. 2 minnie ecm, 1 td, scram, tank IMO. But personally I'd say you're WAY better off using a Cerb. ___________ I learned to accept ship changes months ago. Suddenly I enjoy Eve. You should try it some time.

Dark hunter345	Posted - 2007.10.28 02:22:00 - [11] Haha, ok, thanks. i guess i'll work on a cerberus set up for this. I'll be training up mec. to lvl 5 now :p ;)
Dravin Troikian	Posted - 2007.10.28 04:38:00 - [12] You have no chance on catching him unless you are snaked and rigged out, in that crow. I like the Cerb suggestion, however, don't discount the arrogance of nano'd pilots. You can scare them off with a griffin, with x2/3 matari ecm. Most will realize once they can't lock you, they will move in and out of their optimal, and then you can use whatever dps you wish. They will pop and spill their T2 goodies out, like pinata's. Good luck. P.S. I've done this in game, so i know it works. You'll never solo one in a griffin, however. Looking at trying this with a blackbird/rook, atm. I know it also works with a matari only ECM'ing scorp, with x3 large energy neuts, if they close. Dravin Drav [url=http://killboard.etherealdawn.net/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=3611] [/url]

Leandro Salazar The Blackguard Wolves Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2007.10.28 06:12:00 - [14] Stopping them is easy. Killing them solo is what is nigh impossible, which is the source of all the whines about nanoships. There is no 'n' in turret There is no 'r' in faction There is no 'a' in Scorpion There is no 'e' in Caldari There is no makeup in rogue drones
Mr Mozzie Evolution	Posted - 2007.10.28 06:41:00 - [15] Precision cruise ravens. Precision heavies and cruise both have the same velocity and explosion velocity. The Cruise have a base explosion radius of 200m, and vagas have a sig radius of well over that with the MWD on. The Golem will be even better with it's explosion velocity bonus.
Liang Nuren The Avalon Foundation Knights Of Syndicate	Posted - 2007.10.28 07:41:00 - [16] I've been considering a Drake with the following: 1+ Gang mates 2x TS web 1x Interdiction gang mod 1x Skirmish mindlink TBH, this would work better on a ship that doesn't use its mids to tank. =/ Liang -- Retired forum *****.

Vim Foundation R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.10.28 09:57:00 - [20] Heavy neut baitship is like... suprise buttsecks! Not to good a chance of getting your friends on grid before they realize somethings up and try to withdraw asap =) scorp with neuts, mwd, med cap booster, webx2 scram, 3xecm, 2xsignal ups, 1600mm plate, larII. I know I'd never suspect a scorp to mwd up on me when I'am suddenly out of cap o_o but then again, viability is something we can argue over forever. this might work, or it might just scare them off and it may die horribly as well :) /* Whats a guy got to do to get a smile off around here */
Lazuran Gallente Time And ISK Sink Corporation	Posted - 2007.10.28 10:30:00 - [21] Apart from Neutralizer BS and since you're talking Caldari - don't forget ECM. Also, a properly skilled and fitted Drake will be invulnerable to a Vaga. "...been designed for one purpose and one purpose only. Imagine a handful of repair drones pouring from the carebear's mouth.

Ubaricous Fat Children with Opinions	Posted - 2007.10.28 11:39:00 - [24] A lot of these setups will convince a Vaga to run away, but it takes something pretty special to actually trap the ****** and nothing Caldari really springs to mind for that. Recruiting!

Andracin Information Science Security FREGE Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.28 14:42:00 - [30] the only consistant way to kill vagas without having one of your own is neuts. Ive tried webs but they usually stay out of range and if they stray into it it is usually almost at falloff. So aside from gimping yourself with magical "kill the vaga die to everything else" setups a couple neuts stops them in their tracks. Slowed/stoped vaga=dead vaga.

Mr Bodacious mUfFiN fAcToRy	Posted - 2007.10.28 16:11:00 - [32] I'm gonna have to say half the vagabond pilots don't actually know how to pilot them properly. Rare is it to find a vagabond pilot that truly out-maneuvers you... most think its cool to orbit at 7 km/s
TOPSTER Celestial Apocalypse Insurgency	Posted - 2007.10.28 16:31:00 - [33] my caldari char with max missle skills (over 10 million in missiles) i dont think that the cerb even with precision will hurt a vaga going max speed? I've seen a few people posting that the cerb pwned the vaga going 16k or whatever could they post a video of this? Most of the time when i have tested this the missles do 1 damage or something silly like that. But if people have demonstrated otherwise i would be really interested in seeing evidence of this. _______________ MK2
Anon Forumalt	Posted - 2007.10.28 18:09:00 - [34] Above poster is correct...in theory it is IMPOSSIBLE for a Cerberus (or any other missileboat, for that matter) to hit a Vagabond. With 5/5 Target Navigation Prediction and 2 explosion velocity rigs, explosion velocities on Heavy Missiles BARELY pass 2000 m/s. Any vagabond that takes anything above 10% damage from a Cerberus is either fit horribly, piloted horribly, or both.

Reason is, they won't hit anything, even with maxed skills (or gimp their already pathetic DPS). So perhaps before making such bold statements, you should try piloting the ship first. It is pointless to attack cerberus with vagabond unless cerberus is **ty fitted. Originally by:** Soros lots of torps in the air + a neut will insta volley a vaga anyday Perhaps you should fly the ship and do your math right, before you make random claims. Any vaga will gtfo if it seems it's cap is dying, it's a complete noob mistake to cap out so hard that you have no cap for mwd on the vaga. If you see that it's going that way, you gtfo. If not, you are a noob vagabond pilot. A vaga pilot who dies to that, will probably die to a good taranis pilot. Originally by: Trishan And, yet, more than a half of the vagas that have been built have been destroyed and The build/survival ratio of the cerberus is better. That's because a vagabond is used exclusively for PvP. A cerberus is used mostly for carebearing. You'd have to fail pretty hard to lose as much ships carebearing as PvPing. As for how to kill vagabond (keeping in mind, i've flown one for... a rather long time...). 1) Use a neut BS, with serious amount of neuts... Fit a rokh with enough neuts to empty his cap INSTANTLY, and you should also have MWD with dual overloadable webs to mwd up to him and ***him the moment he tries to get away. 2) Jump through a gate, then keep mwding back to the gate. If he is***y, he will come and try to bump you. When he does that - overload dualwebs. 3) Huginn. A single huginn can solo two vagabonds. The crappy part is, that Huginn is not caldari, so you will have to stick with option 1) or 2). Good luck vagahunting. EW Guide - KB Tool - My Music

A mass reduction does not only equal the same reduction to the agility modifier, but also if you take a look at the speed formula, it affects how much your MWD boosts you speed.

TY for addressing the points that needed slapped down. im glad to see you never took the bait about a crow solo'ing a vagabond this time ;) Only vagabond ive ever lost (thats right, ive lost one... touch wood) was to a trap involving 2 rapiers and a lachesis... vaga's just can't handle rapiers when they are damped (if you've ever seen a***y rapier pilot get within 20km of a vaga, youll know they melt fast). P.S. Huginn is win for solo PVP, it gets primaried in gang/fleet, but solo you got a much better survivability factor than the vaga due to the web range bonus combined with lock range and sensor strength. P.P.S. Get a HAM cerb, it kills vaga's dead if they are crazy enough to stay around for more than a few volley's.
Ryysa Caldari	Posted - 2007.10.28 23:15:00 - [40] Edited by: Ryysa on 28/10/2007 23:16:13 Hehe, even one rapier with damps and some damp rigs can own you pretty hard :( People must realize that a vagabond is only as good as the pilot flying it. You can kill lots of dumb pilots, the problem why people are whining is, that it is pretty much impossible to die in a vagabond, unless you mess up. Good pilots don't mess up often, thus the wrong vagabond "invulnerability" image. Lots of vagabonds die every day. I found E-R's "hauler's kill vaga" movie particularily hilarious.

6Bagheera9 Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.10.29 01:08:00 - [41] The absolute minimum required to kill a Vaga using only Caldair ships would be a BB with racial ECM, 1 or 2 ceptors, and something to do damage. Once perma-jammed, the Vaga can be safely tackled by the ceptors and the rest is easy. But as many have already stated a decent Vaga pilot will bail if he sees that he's gonna be hopelessly jammed.

Ishmael Hansen No Quarter. Vae Victis.	Posted - 2007.10.29 03:12:00 - [44] The only thing that will kill a vaga is poor piloting. Now a caldari ship that can kill it. A couple weeks ago killed a vaga with a navy caracal nanoed up, he was not that fast, around 5/6 km/s, my caracal does like 5km/s overheated. He was off guard as I was in a myrm when I first engaged him, then I changed to a caracal and made my first offensive move, mwd towards him and fire missiles, let him laugh at the 0.1 damage, then I mwd back to gate, he stays annoying people, after jumping a couple times back and forth he agresses a buddy and I go towards him with a point on him. At this time I just try to keep in the 24km till he loses cap for mwd and missiles hit him for damage. Imo he would rip my caracal apart if he decided to actually stop mwd around and engage without, also had no tank but cap boosters kept my shield booster running for enough time. He was too*****y and died because of it, otherwise don't think a single caldari ship can solo a vaga.
Trishan Green Men Incorporated	Posted - 2007.10.29 03:42:00 - [45] Originally by: Daelin Blackleaf How many of those Cerbs are used for PvE? How many never leave empire? Now the same questions for the Vaga... Oh, maybe all those cerberuses that died did so in empire, of old age. Or maybe people buy them and suicide them in front of a gate. Ooorr maybe its because they do use them in pvp and die like the other ship in question.

That's because a vagabond is used exclusively for PvP. A cerberus is used mostly for carebearing. You'd have to fail pretty hard to lose as much ships carebearing as PvPing. Exactly my point, even accounting for the carebearing cerberuses. That each may have different "best case" scenarios, true. Quite frankly, either you neut them, drop a trail of missiles after the vaga so it has to run away (therefore "stopping getting pwned") before the cap runs dry, or you just go back to the gate and jump through. Not that hard, and it dies pretty frequently. Why all the continous whining about it?
Alyxa Mahan	Posted - 2007.10.29 11:26:00 - [47] Don't know, maybe cause most of the suggestions in here to stop one require a specialized battleship? Mind you, to stop one, not to kill one...

Or maybe people buy them and suicide them in front of a gate. Ooorr maybe its because they do use them in pvp and die like the other ship in question. Your proving my point. A greater proportion of Cerbs are used for PvE, both in empire and outside of it. This would mean there are indeed fewer losses because discounting inexperience the only way to lose a ship in PvE is to be jumped by enemies when outside of empire or to fall asleep in your pod. The number that are used and lost in PvP would therefore be far lower than Vaga before factoring in the survivability of the ship. Ergo the statistics are, as ever, misleading. I'm reasonably sure, though I don't have stats to prove it, that the number of PvP fitted Cerbs lost per PvP fitted Cerb in game would far out outweigh the number of PvP fitted Vaga's lost per PvP fitted Vaga in game. Do you really believe the Cerb has greater PvP survivability than a Vaga? Or are you just spouting statistics in the hope of stemming the tide of dissatisfaction that exists regarding speed-tanking. ------------- That aside the problem is not the Vaga. We simply have too many different ways of increasing the speed and it has now reached the point where speed can be higher for a great many ships than it should be. MWD... or even AB Triple Overdrives 3x Nano's/Mass reduction rigs Snake Implants (slots 1-6) +8% speed implant (slot 7) 2x AB/MWD boost implants (slots 8 and 10) We also have skirmish warfare - rapid deployment and the associated mindlink (slot 10 replaces a +5% to MWD/AB boost) Taken alone none of these create an immense problem but together, even sans a component or two due to price, they provide an unbalancing level of speed. The same could be said of shield boosting however you are far more likely to lose your investment, the shield tank will not help you get out of an unfavorable engagement, and it will not protect you from massed focused fire, therefore we don't see a great many Cyrstal+Gisti tanks outside of empire. A speed tank should be a viable tactic, reducing damage in a manner comparable to a standard tank while providing added mobility and range dictation, but it should not an I-win-or-I-run button.

Keep a TD with you, and if you can 5 light neutralizing drones should screw him up badly. Oh, and if you are in a passive tanked Drake, switch to active and have a EM hardener with you.

Wait for said vagabond to come and find you and et him tackle you. Shoot back with your torps and watch the vaga laugh to himself "silly carebear, his torps wont catch me." Wait a little while (i dunno 30 seconds or a minute, at least until there is a good trail of torps following him). Then hit him with your neuts. If he is really on the ball he will notice turn and try to warp, if he is a touch slow his microwarp will turn off and he will get hit by the torp train following him and that will be that. Alternatively just fit a domi web as someone said (or two) and overload it if you need to, they will be royally fubar'd.
Calexis Atredies Quantum Industries Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.10.29 17:04:00 - [53] I almost wiped the floor with a vaga using a passive drake fitted with precision scourge and 5 t2 hob gobs... only time they are vulnerable is when they warp in and are getting their speed up. Once that happens he chooses the attack range... which means if he wants to get out of scram range he can literally bugger off whenever he feels like it

However....the raven pilot just got the suprice factor...u only got 1 shot with the web+neut, or he just runs of....and altleast I tend to "test" myself (manualy piloting around 8-9k m in circels around him, rdy to hit the mwd and mwd out of web range again) witin the web range of even caldari ships before starting to click the orbit button ...to check if he got web. so u have to be pacient, and wait untill ure sure hes gonna get stucked. another also working(but alteast Im starting to get aware of it) is a drake with web, point and mwd. he slowboats in the beginning and as soon as ure to close and confident using the emp ammo...he mwd while webbing...ensuring not very fast, but certain death for the vaga pilot.

Only a noob vagabond pilot goes into web range. L2P. Originally by: Graalum if you can get the vaga webbed and orbit at 500m all you have to worry about is drones... Any good vaga pilot had nos, now he has neut. Lol @ you doing anything with no cap. Vaga without neut = noob vaga. Seriously, the only ship you will kill the guy with, for which he doesn't have to screw up really bad is a nano-ed up huginn / damping rapier / insta neut bs. All the other tactics are fairly pointless, since you will only kill noobs with them, and generally, unless it's a rich carebear noob, they don't have enough money to keep wasting vagabonds, neither will they drop any good loot. Flying a Vagabond or a nanoed up Huginn requires pilot skill, that's why people whine. Because they reward people who are good at the game with not dying. And they are mostly flown by people who are good at the game. That said, DS pasted me a link on MSN with a dead vaga that was using pulse lasers. You wouldn't really need special tactics to kill that. However, when someone asks here about how to kill a Vagabond pilot, i'd assume, he's asking how to kill a decent vagabond pilot, and not how to kill ebayer or isk buyer. EW Guide - KB Tool - My Music
Odium47	Posted - 2007.10.29 19:03:00 - [56] hahahaha The vaga is too fast to be easily killed with neuts or drones. Kill its speed and you have killed the vaga ! If 1 web does not work, maybe 2 will, but definetly 3 will hold it down! Hold it tied to you and then hit it...(well, think at the Sin City scene between Mickey and Elija)

Rudy Metallo Additional Pylons	Posted - 2007.10.30 03:28:00 - [59] You're all forgetting the point of this thread. He asked if it will kill a Vagabond, and some of the setups will indeed do so, but the vagabond would have to be ***** stupid as hell to not run away once it realised what was going on. You're object is to hunt down and kill a vagabond, not to ask to to please stay while you kill it. In short, there are no such setups to do so solo in a Caldari ship, that I know of. MAYBE a rocket crow, but that would only work if the vaga had no drones. Which is, of course, perfectly viable, but unlikely. I know that I, being a vagabond pilot myself, always keep 5 spare drones in my hold in case I lose the ones in my bay. Takes 25 m3, saves you a **load of hassle and could possibly save your ass. Other than said situation, I can think of nothing that a good vaga pilot couldn't a) run away from or b) kill. -- We are the revolutionaries. We are the usurpers of the heavenly throne. We are the enemies of the Gods.
turbocrazy1989 Gallente The Lost Prophets Combined Planetary Union	Posted - 2007.10.31 19:07:00 - [60] Originally by: Dark hunter345 nano vagabond, is there any caldari ships/setups that can stop them? I am so tired of getting pwnd by them. Pls tell me how I can fit up a ship to stop the maddness.... no
Ryysa Caldari	Posted - 2007.11.01 08:45:00 - [61] Originally by: WildSide I dunno how uber u are....but did u jsut read what I wrote? do both neut and webb at same time ..or he runs away. uhm, no you wrote something else. Regarding neut + web, I posted that way before you did. Also you need enough neuts to instantly kill his cap, meaning ALL neuts, and then you must be very ready to burst MWD towards him. Something you forgot to mention. Quote: Also...ure reply says more about u than facts. if u find a raven alone with a pilot more than 2 mothns old and ure in a vaga u just run off? how many kills u gonna get then? blob mentalty at its best...I guess. Do some research on me, before you write total crap. Noob. Quote: anyway..maybe that explain why u have no faith in be able to kill raven solo in a vaga? I have, on multiple occasions. I have killed battleship with inty, but that was a battleship fitted for mining. your point? Vaga vs any omnitanked raven means that you will die horribly to it. And if you don't see why, learn math and L2P. Quote: u realise u do ** dmg at 15km right? unless u use barrage u doesnt hit at all almost. unless u got a gang to do the dmg sometimes u have to get closer to accualy hit with non tanked dmg like emp. EMP does not do 100% EM, in fact it does only 45% EM. Rest is explosive and kinetic. Use your brain. No, you don't have to get closer. Train skills. lol @ you, if you go below webrange with vagabond. Quote:** Not everyone is never making mistakes like u...sry...I fail...back to wow. Good idea. I did kill over 700 people with my vagabond without dying. Maybe take the advice. /Rant off EW Guide - KB Tool - My Music
Ruciza	Posted - 2007.11.01 09:23:00 - [62] Catching Vagas is a gang effort. You need the troika of pvp: EW, tackling and firepower. Fending off Vagas is simpler, get a turret battlecruiser.

Kagura Nikon Minmatar MASS HOMICIDE Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.11.01 10:36:00 - [64] Lol people really don 't liek to work very hard on the fittings. Raven 3 Dampeners 1 Web. Result. Vaga cannot even lock you or to lock it must die. Simple. Or.. a Simple Passive tanked drake and wait him get out of ammo then you both can smack at each other. Scare a vagabond or make it not kill you is easy7, catching one is not. That is the concept of hit and run ships! And there is nothign wrong with it. Those are ships that select weaker targets and avoid the stronger ones. There are several ships that a vagabond would be stupid to attack. The few BS a vaga coudl attack and win woudl be passive armor blaster ships without NUll on cargo hold, A apssive tanked armageddon that has a good chance of not having a web (but is damm risky to check). And a few other bad setups. Try to send a vaga against a AC tempest or a Blasterthron with NUll ammo and you will see how much "overpowered" a vaga is .... If brute force doesn't solve your problem... you are not using enough

Same way a typhoon pilot can disengage from 99% of BS vs BS combats If brute force doesn't solve your problem... you are not using enough
Dark hunter345	Posted - 2007.11.06 15:31:00 - [66] Some very good info here, Thanks to all the Vagabond pilots who shared there experiance's and thoughts on this topic. I have couple ideas now on how to prevent me from getting pwnd buy these guys when ratting.
