I fly both a stabber and skilled for a vagabond too. Both fits I run are shield fits.
Do they work well armor fitted? Note: Hard to find any armor fit ones, always shield fitted like the ones I fly now.

Just wondering because a lot of the small gang pvp people I could fly with use armor logis, and I skilled up in shields when starting out.

Thanks!

no for both

stabber has the power grid of a Amish village (haha thanks Rhiload) so trying to fit guns and some kind of tank on it is an uphill struggle.

Vagabond has amazing shield booster bonuses and ridiculously good natural shield resist profiles so you're just making it a gimp by putting an armour tank on it.

I hope that's a typo. you'll be wanting a 50MN MWD on a Vaga.

Wow, I really mucked up putting the wrong one on my ship. Thanks for the heads up.

First, triple gyro + te > 2/2.

Second, the only way to fly the vaga atm is 100mn battery scram + pith x type lsb.

Lastly, armour vaga works in ahac gangs as tackle.

Only candidate for armour tanking is the Stabber FLEET ISSUE (hulltank works too by the way- gotta go fast!).
Regular stabbers are usually nanotanked with plenty of nutritious polycarbs and maybe 1 LSE. I also have an all-hultank stabber to free more slots for tackle; but Armour tanking it kinda takes its only advantage out of the picture.

If you do want to armour tank a minnie cruiser, do it on a Rupture. It simply works... better.
