Here is a little mat, i fitted all 4 Marauders with their smallest large range tech 2 weapon only, no other module fitted, i took a all lvl 5 skill to make it even for all.
Myself i fly a Vargur and swapped from artillery to AC's to try that out, i only use the Vargur whith AC's against Angels, all else i use my Maelstrom. Else i would fight in my falloff (loss of dps) all the time if i wouldn't fit a AB to get in range, and beside that after a few months of testing i find the Maelstrom performing better against pretty much all non Angel missions.(Included the fact i have to use 4 grid modules to fit 4 1400 artillery)
Paladin: 4 X Dual heavy beam laser II: Powergrid usage: 6.930 / 16.975 , leaves + 9.945 for rest fitting.
Golem: 4 X Cruise Missile launcher II: Powergrid usage: 4.726 / 8.125 , leaves + 3.399 for rest fitting.
Kronos: 4 X Dual 250mm Railgun II: Powergrid usage: 4.726 / 15.000, leaves + 10.274 for rest fitting.
Vargur: 4 X 1200mm Artillery Cannon II: Powergrid usage: 10.890 / 9.875, leaves - 1.015 for rest fitting.

IMHO the best fix would be a small adjustement on the amount of PG artillery uses, as a side bonus.

EFT says that with sufficient skills -which i believe are needed anyway to fly a marauder- you only need 2 ACR rigs and one RCU II to fit a full rack of 1400s II, no ab tho. Considering how artillery works and the vargur bonus i believe it may even be overpowered.
And yes i fly minmatar.
Not to be rude, but the difference is i fly the ship and tested it for months, where your knowledge comes from EFT only as it seems. No matter how noble your intentions, but i wouldnt call 3 modules (2 rigs and 1 RCU) "only" Especialy not when i can fit 8 1400's on a Maelstrom without using a single mod for it.

But I guess you're a rich speculator faction fitting his shield tank, you just ctrl+space and f1-f8 without moving whatsoever... we know your kind...
???
Please show me the part where i mentioned i am "your kind" ?
As a side note, first you say you can fit a a full rack of 1400's on a Vargur with 3 rig mods "only" yet without a AB, then you mention a Maelstrom can't be outfitted with a rack of 1400's + shieldboost without a rig module because you can't fly that setup whitout a AB, make up your mind, AB or no AB for both ships. (The only missions wich would be hard without a AB on a Maelstrom are Angel missions, all the rest i fly without a AB.
Speedmodules in lowslot for missions while using a AB?
PS: to talk at the same level. You probly dream of the fight in mentioned ships purely on the knowledge you gained by playing with EFT, we know your kind

Does anyone use the Vargur with autocannons? 50% bonus to falloff seems like it would be cool or does the meager cost of ammo for missions rack up too fast?
I used this ship a few months with 1400 artillery, it performed nice but since i felt my Maelstrom performed evenly well i changed it into a AC ship. It works nice in Angel missions ( no need of a AB because they will come to you anyhow), but if you warp into a mission where most ships are at 75km+/- you loose alot of time or dps. While the extra falloff seems nice at the max falloff range (6+52km) i do only 50% dps. I use alot of time catching ships into a nice range to do the full amount of dps, even with a AB fitted.
Now i do missions in my Maelstrom again and whenever i have a Angel mission i get the Vargur. If i knew back then what i know now i would have never bothered training for that ship let alone pay 750 million for it.
