While I have seen some arty vaga fits, it's best to just keep those things on the Muninn. Also with the Vagabond's bonus to Falloff it just makes more sense to fit AC's to utilize that bonus than to fit Arties for minimal return.<br /><br />Id - It's been a while since I used boosters in my Vaga but I would use either the ones that made your signature less to avoid missile damage or increase tracking/Falloff. Looking those up it looks like SoothSayers (falloff) Drop (tracking speed) and X-instinct (sig radius) were the ones I did have some success using. I have added that information to the post for better clarity. More booster information can be found at the link below.<br /><br />http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Combat_BoostersLogan Fyreitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020193253139376508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616244196108776097.post-11885503067613053962011-03-31T15:16:02.099-07:002011-03-31T15:16:02.099-07:00Great and timely post - I will be able to fly one ...Great and timely post - I will be able to fly one in about 2 weeks!

What do you recommend and I will get it added.<br /><br />Panthe, thanks for the comment, makes me feel helpful in more ways that just liberating pod from ship!<br /><br />Darina - Last time I looked at it it was pretty close, this time the CY-2 instead of the Omega gives you close to 110m/s less speed than flying with the Omega, BUT you can buy 2-3 CY-2's(170 mil isk each) for the price of one omega(around 500 mil isk each). Using a MY-2 instead of the Omega loses you 140m/s in comparison, so the CY-2 is better overall, plus it's bonus effects you with the MWD on or off, providing you with a higher base speed. MY-2's run 80-90 mil isk each so they might make a good starter point to build other implants around before you buy the whole snake set.<br /><br />Just as a side note I loved my shield/nano Ishtars for a long time until the speed nerf. They are still crazy effective but I get more out of a Vaga, for now at least. Besides writing a guide for a Ishtar because of the 200,000 possible worthy fits for it would take FOREVER =)<br /><br />Parity, I like the DC fit as something like training wheels. I just never have faced a time where the DC's extra EHP allowed me to escape, I would take the extra damage or extra speed of the Nano or gyro in most cases. STIM's too kind and gentle to be assholes, I don't know what you are talking about lol!<br /><br />SOB, I'm glad to deliver. Vaga's are a great step up from ceptors, way more survivable with a similar "wheeee" feel when you fly one.<br /><br />Thanks to everyone for the comments!

I feel my Ishtar is rubbish now. :( I wanna Vaga!<br /><br />Will the slot 6 speed implants (with just the slot 1-5 snakes) get your m/s close to that of a full snake set?

Very useful for me.<br /><br />I just took delivery of a Vagabond last night. I followed most of your principles in fitting it, but I made a few notable exceptions (damage control). Looking forward to flying it; even losing it will be exciting for then I can experience the legendary rages referenced on the forums (you fit a what to your Vagabond?).<br /><br />Having experienced combat primarily in Caldari and Gallente ships, I'm making a move towards Minmatar with the battlecruisers and Vagabond. It'll be interesting.<br /><br />Now, engage STIM asshole mode (so I fit in with you guys): I think you meant vulnerable not venerable -- as venerable (honored, impressive) is generally a good thing but you meant vulnerable (weak).paritybithttp://paritybit.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616244196108776097.post-74356005997849988652010-07-01T12:35:12.934-07:002010-07-01T12:35:12.934-07:00Holy crap that is a long post!
