Hey guys. My chars are heading towards a Kronos and a Vargur with close to max gunnery skills. Tricky situation is I am quite space poor(I pvp and suck at it) and can only afford only 1 fancy ship for a char. I run with a Navythron and a Mael when i dual box. I mission in Gallente/Minmatar space.


I do not want a Machariel or a Tengu. Replies are much appreciated.

Vargur all the days

Basically fill with t1 light drones ( unexpensive ) and with 2 specific hardeners is gold everywhere

The Vargur is more versatile with selective damage types and with the shield boost bonus behaves similarly to the Maelstrom, except with better damage projection and less ammo consumption. When facing off against Angels you will be at a disadvantage in damage types with the Kronos which only deals thermal/kinetic all the way.

Nice. I was hoping you guys would say Vargur. You even have the same bgs :)

This is the exact problem I have. Vargur is better but I find the Kronos incredibly attractive(colour scheme and mega hull). The new sails and hull design of the Vargur kind of make it awesome though.

So far all votes for the Vargur. Guess its settled then. :)

I have used both and I really like the Kronos for Gallente space.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

The pre-nerf Vargur.

Rounded sails... Seriously, what was CCP thinking when they did that?

Considering my luck, that would happen as soon as I save up for the Vargur :/

But the Kronos is way better looking!

Seriously, i dont't have a Vargur but the Kronos kills stuff up to 40km with Neutrons and Null. The not selectable damage type is mitigated by the firepower itself, imho. Even in drone missions. I don't regret buying one back then.

But from what i read the Vargur performs better in all Non-kin/therm-weak areas.

They should use the sail from the old Fleet Tempest.
