so everyone is crying about how much minnie will suck after the patch, i looked at the char dates and realised the winer are all nubs from 06/07 who have no clue about minnie except that they got a fast ship and now it has a counter...
Ladies and Gents, if i may, I give you :
the 2003-2005 vaga of ultimate destiny!
5 x 220mm t2 1 x misc
1 x gistii a-type small booster 1 x invuln t2 1 x point 1 x 10mn ab
3 x gyro 2 x tracking enhancer
5 x ecm drones
rigs? well we never had them back in the day but i guess 2 falloff rigs wouldnt hurt to get barrage hitting further out.
This is how the real 0.0 roamers did it before nanos and rigs, its just been brought back to life by the speed nerf.
Pros - still fast but with a nice low sig, lower orbit speed = more hits, 3 x gyros = more dps, ab = low cap use, speed is still fast enough to avoid a lot of tracking. the gistii give you a nice extended time in combat.
Cons - Ships have more hp now than they used to so take longer to kill, you wont beat a drake, webs will kill you.
tactics - PICK YOUR TARGETS! solo cruisers and frigate gangs are easy meat for this, BC's are good fodder also (not drakes or missile feroxes), it can kill other HACs (maybe not ishtar). when fighting frigs (if they are stupid enough to swarm you) fly in a straight line and pop them as they approach

if you mean vs a blob (read pick your targets part), if you mean its to slow to get past a gate camp (smart pilots use scouts)

Anything with an MWD being a frigate or a nano vaga, both have to slow down to avoid overshooting and die to the tripple gyros :-)
i let you have that, since you probaly havnt been in game long enough to know what these can do, i hope dirtball reads this thread, he was a master with these.

I'm sorry, your vagabond that is
-slower than my rupture, -has less DPS than my rupture, -and a worse tank than my rupture
..will obviously win.
Get your head out of your ass and get this information through your thick skull. AB Vaga is worthless.
If you think otherwise, you really need to re-consider your future in this game.

Wrong. With three gyro's a good vaga pilot puts out the best part of 650dps, with the ships tracking bonus, the relatively low speeds of all targets after the patch, your af's are gonna insta pop. Not to mention that under web the vaga will still equal your transverse speeds. A point to all the above that haven't yet gained the experiance to understand that theres more to fighting than orbit, f1-f6/8. Learn to play with transversals to maxmise you hit rate, the only good thing I think this nerph is gonna do is seperate the nubs that auto fly/fight ("orbit, f1-f6/8") from those that can fly/fight skillfully.
To the op i'd be inclined to remove the TE's for TC's with tracking scripts. More tracking less optimal added (means frigs can't get under your guns ). But then again the standard version of the vaga will still work just its a little more vunerable. To live is to die, and to die is to give life. Thus pain is a form of euphoria.

Can't find the post which means I will be testing it myself this weekend. I'll report back here when I do. You know, stab wounds, since I'm sure you are interested in doing something constructive, maybe you can be on the test server to watch it go down.
Would that be to much for you to handle? Actually checking something out? Eve mail me in game if you think you are up to it and we will work out when we do it. I'll be online all weekend.
Edit: With some fast eftage for 15 mil you can get a caracal with 215 dps, and 44k effective hp. A vagabond using the standard vagabond setup will be forced to run from that every single time. Won't die, but MUST run. With the speed nerf, it would be prety risky to let the shields get low because running is more costly time wise.

I know the ship will suck compaired to what was before but have a look at this fit.
Lows
2 gyros 1 DCUII 1 overdrive II 1 nanofiber II
Meds
10mn MWDII 10mn ABII Large cap battery II LSBII
Highs
5x 180mm AC II 1 Light missile launcher II
the logic behind it is that if they shut your MWD down you still can gain some speed with the AB while you ll be able to repair yourself for some time. You will still die probably but your gang may gain precious seconds to kill the other guys first.

your vaga will be killd by a 1 or 2 AF, or a Crusader.
with the settings on sisi, your not able to track this tiny little Frigs.. so well but, have fun to pop your 120m Vaga to a 20m Ceptor / Af
Wrong. With three gyro's a good vaga pilot puts out the best part of 650dps, with the ships tracking bonus, the relatively low speeds of all targets after the patch, your af's are gonna insta pop. Not to mention that under web the vaga will still equal your transverse speeds. A point to all the above that haven't yet gained the experiance to understand that theres more to fighting than orbit, f1-f6/8. Learn to play with transversals to maxmise you hit rate, the only good thing I think this nerph is gonna do is seperate the nubs that auto fly/fight ("orbit, f1-f6/8") from those that can fly/fight skillfully.
To the op i'd be inclined to remove the TE's for TC's with tracking scripts. More tracking less optimal added (means frigs can't get under your guns ). But then again the standard version of the vaga will still work just its a little more vunerable.
To bad AFs for one is getting a speed boost thanks to removal of 1/3 of their mass(on avarage people)  ------------ When I became the sun, I shone life into the man¦s hearts. |

it wont be popped by AF's atleast they will have a hard time coming in close enough to orbit since this Vaga can just hit keep at range and AB away causing transversal to become lower and simply pwn the AF's.
It will however be pwned by a Hurricane :D

before the nano craze, i remember fighting 2 vagabond in 2 different occasion (1 was in a corp i don't remember hmmm drunken something, uncle grannies whatever. other one is BoB). both are tanked with quite good firepower. at that time the match between us seem to be draw from the start due availability of my nos and he need to be close for their autocannon. the damage i'm doing (torpedoes raven) was comparable to him at that time. the percentage of our shield drop almost the same.
i dunno how they setup their vagabond. vagabond might revert to this back eventually. it might not as good as nanoes, but maybe it will work in a role somewhere.

The big difference is both the vaga and muninn will be worthless postpatch, the curse can STILL neut. Anyway comparing HACs to recons never works.

Ya, but if Lyria compared to Amarr HAC's, they'd still be good and he couldn't make his point that Amarr still need mucho buf***e.

The gimped state of the curse will be revealed when nano is nerfed. Without nano'ing a curse its a sitting duck with no tank and with barely cap to run its ew. Forget running any kind of tank, shield or armor, if youre trying to even run 1-2 neuts. Its a fail boat because ccp BROKE it at the same time they broke pilgrim. It just wasnt obvious when it still had nano option. So yeah, amarr will have 2 useless recons after patch. Welcome to my world. ----------------------------------------- [Video] Support Barrage |

Autocannons were never dominant, and artillery was only good until the HP boost patch. The weapons haven't changed, the game has changed around them. You haven't been around long enough to remember multispec ECM and nos tempests, minmatar were "trick" ships.

Guess it goes to show how much attention people pay to the tempest thread and the others, lol. The evolution from tricky to crappy has been explained numerous times . Basically, it's as Astro said, but as the tricks have disappeared, Matar are left with subclass tanks and damage, relatively meaningless alpha post hp boost, and all we get for it is capless (which is a benefit, but a relatively minor one). The weapons haven't changed, but the tricks have, and that's the problem. It adds up to they need something boosting them.

Everytime Lyria wants a chance he's 'balancing' Any time someone else wants a change, they are trying to make their stuff overpowered.
Basically, if you don't do things his way, you are wrong.

Maybe you'd want to explain the logic behind how
Balanced Ship A + Broken weapons B = Fine
and after fix of broken weapons B same
Ship A + Fixed (better) weapons B = Fine aswell and not overpowered? ----------------------------------------- [Video] Support Barrage |

It works like this...
People want broken ships etc fixed... If it's not anything to do with Amarr - Lyria opposes all the ideas and say 'overpowered'. 
If it's to do with Amarr fixes - then Lyria says 'thats ok!!'..
Thats how we balance...
