Name them please. A single Machariel does not make an "army". For sure Vindicator, Kronos nor Dominix do not belong to this list.

So as i see it varg in nothing more than over tanked pigeon holed ship

If you overtank your Varg then it is your problem and it is you doing it wrong.

Quote:
it pg is serious issue not having option to fit 1400mm is nothing more than pathetic.

I agreed: not being able to fit 1400mms is an issue with regard to being able to fit 1400mms. In respect to being able to competently finish the mission, the issue is non existent.


Kronos with rails is lacking ~ 100dps... with blasters sure but they are kinda sucky for missions

But Vindi with rails will pull same dps as varg can with autos it will have 30k opty not 3k and plenty of falloff as well add 5 sentry's and it rly pull forward.

Navy domi will out dps varg bu 200-400 dps using rails+ drones,

Golem and CNR will own Vargur

Paladin and NM will out dps it too.

TFI will out dps it as well...N mega should be able to out dps(*using rails and sentry) it too N apoc is close but what it lacks in raw dps it compensate with 80+k optimal and nice tracking.

i am forgetting few..oh n Armageddon will out dps it as well.

Overtanking it or undertanking it yield same result it is dead end skill wise t2 ship that is average at running missions and worse at rest of pve and for most part unusable for pvp and it cant use it own racial weapons.

It is good for missions sure but marauder description imply s it should be more than that and if faction ships is better than it than what marauder is supposed to be good at?

You're missing the point. I'm not talking about EFT- warrioring. I'm talking about actual in-game performance. As in "ISK per hour", or "tick value", or "time to mission completion", you name it.

The 'Point' is that Vargur is good to average mission runner that you need to invest years of training time to fly in autocannon only variant while u can do same(faction ships) or BETTER(pirate ships) for half of training time that will also expand your skill to another race ships for example.

That is the 'Point' not your i am fine with what it does..some ppl see it potential and where it lacking..you are clearly not one of them.

Strawman ---> this way

My point has been always the same: Vargur is one of the best performing missioning ships of those I used so far. Not being able to fit artillery is strange but is not a problem.

Since you are repeating your self il just drop this here

"Your answer would be perfectly valid if this game was named "l4 missions only using autocanons online" and not "eve online"
"
PWG is an issue if you god forbid try to do something different than shooting tier 1 rats.

And for a T2 battleship it does suck when pirate AND faction ship are able to out class it

It literally don't bring anything to table worth mentioning or worth invested skill points in marauders that will make you BETTER mission runner than using some other ships.

Please... The fact that you cannot competently use this ship does not mean the ship is bad. I'll repeat myself once more: I flew both Vargur and Machariel and all I can say is that Vargur has nothing to be ashamed of.

Sorry, I can't hear you through the sound of ISK hitting my wallet.

No, really. If you want to make me convinced, convince me by actual performance figures. This is not the first such dispute I've been to and probably not the last and the thing is, I don't give a damn about stats analysis. I only care about what really matters: how a ship performs in game. You still didn't make your case on these terms.

Still amusing to see people doing it in these type of threads.

You wont change the mind of the people that honestly believe EFT > actual performance.

lol like lol

I fly ships too and i do give a damn,that's why i am here advocating for ship that is with gimped PWG and is gimped in more ways than one.

And while it can deliver doing l4 there are simply better ships for that and when one expand it views above l4 missions it become apparent what i am talking about.

And lastly i am not here to convince you anything you responded to me disagreeing not other way around.



@ hellcane

i think that you will make more impact if you find EFT meme to link otherwise you are just mildly boring and even less contributing to discussion/argument/whatever..

A mach outperforms a vargur, it's got everything the varg has and a 25% damage bonus on top of it. The tracking bonus doesn't matter too much unless you're a terrible pilot and the tank bonus doesn't matter too much because it's not really a limiting factor in level 4s.

The time to pull out the vargur is when tank is important like high rated DED sites and possibly wormholes.

Mach can do those too maybe c5 emphasis in maybe in varg and even than if you are soloing it you are doing it wrong might as well mine gas in a omen.

I doubt a mach could do anything above a 5/10, typically you get full room aggro instantly and the npcs are spawn pretty close. Mach relies on being able to manage incoming DPS by a combination of speed and target selection

Feeding the mach faction ammo, you get 30 dps more once you are 10km closer to the target. There are other differences that dictate which would be better based off of playstyle.

Super-tanking the vargur is the wrong way to go.

Nobody questions the fact that Machariel outperforms Vargur. But then again, Machariel outperforms almost every other ship so it doesn't mean anything. The question is how Vargur stands on its own. And the answer can be split to two independent issues:

1. Not being able to fit 1400mms (or 1200mms for that matter). Machariel with ACs gets better ticks than Machariel with arties. Since Machariel and Vargur have the same falloff bonus I really doubt the arties on Vargur could outdo ACs.

2. How AC Vargur performs related to other non-Machariel ships? Very, very well.

I would hazard to say most of the navy battleships would also outperform the vargur in level 4s. Would also say Dominix (regular T1) would outperform.

You guess while I fly all this crap and compare ticks. I dunno about nullsec anoms but in L4s Vargur is second only to Machariel.
