Ships & Modules

One of my characters will be getting into a Vargur in a week and I have interested in some of the fitting decisions ahead of me. I have looked at the fittings posted in various forums and websites and they are all over the place. By the way these questions are for the Vargur. I know there are other ships which others would consider better. I love my Mach for example. But I have been training for this for a while and have been looking forward to bastion mode, larger cargohold, strong tank and reduced ammo costs.

Question 1: How light a tank and how much should Bastion mode be relied on for the tank? I have seen fits with one Adapt Invuln and one shield booster and no DCII. This yields a low resist profile 52% normal and 70 percent(ish) in b-mode. With a non bling Shield Booster II this is 4-5 minutes of a 230 dps tank or 616 in b-mode. My issue with this is that you will really need to be in b-mode to tank anything much and if you are in b-mode but your tank can't hold you are going to die. I am thinking for example of the gurista side of the worlds collide which is 1200 kin dps. Deadspace boosters can push this up (816 dps for 3-4 min with pith b-type large booster) . Every additional slot you add to the tank will drop your applied dps, so its an important decision.

Question 2: Movement. Fighting in falloff is a pain IMHO but thats life for a projectile ship. With one TCII (optimal script) and one TEII you can apply 90 percent of your dps at 30 km with Phased Plasma or 50km using Barrage. As you know, many missions have rats far away so either you get to them fast or you do less damage from farther away. You can get increased range in b-mode but then you can't move. If you want to apply more DPS you need to get closer to the ships. So my question is whether it is better to pump up gun application distance with 2-3 TCII with range scripts and just have a prop mod for gate travel, or have less TC's with more prop options? MWD for example. If you are going with one prop should it be MWD or afterburner? MWD is nice because it can help you get to warp faster with one pulse, but it reduces your cap.

Question 3: Tracking. I can never figure out where the diminishing returns for tracking is. How much is enough? 0.07, 0.09, 0.12? I don't like flipping scripts mid fight as rats get closer, especially since they made that really slow. Is one TEII at 9.5% tracking and Maurader 4 for another 30% sufficient for autocannons using non-t2 ammo?

Question 4: Bling. The age old question of bling versus gank value. I tend to not use bling except for the 85 mil pithum c-type medium booster because it is just that awesome for many ships. I think I will have to get Republic Fleet Gyros for this because it is a significant boost to DPS, but even that bothers me. Any advice on this subject would be appreciated.

Thanks!
