Vargur is great for some missions, the Golem is better for others, not to mention fitting, as DPS is very dependant on the fit.Īs per end game, with any changes that may occur the ‘best ship’ is the one that does the job and is enjoyable to fly. I agree with Loyd, there is no end game ship, have to choose the right tool for the job. Tank numbers are far lower till you get in bastion mode to compensate, but 1.1 bill ship doing the same job better then 5 bill ship is better in my book for that job.
#Maelstrom game best ship Patch#
That is a big game changer in any space other then minmatar for most cases.Īfter flying 5 bill Machariel around the space and having fun with it, after the patch simply can't ignore the fact that bastion Vargur fitted with faction gyros (200ish mill) and rest T2 modules can do almost same dps, track better, and be immune to ewar. You enter bastion and there is no jamming, no tracking disruption and no sensor dampening.

Why? Because you can't use Gardes always, and even though Machariel has 50ish dps more on guns alone, Vargur has bastion. Vargur with warriors, faction ammo and implants will top out at 1250 dps at 75 km max range (bastion falloff) or same range as Machariel without bastion.īut you need to to take into account applied DPS. Machariel with gardes, faction ammo and implants will top out at 1450 dps at 55 km max range (falloff) Then again, Maelstorm can get good numbers, but you won't be putting 2 bill ISK on Maelstorm. Add bastion on Vargur and you either end up at 2200 dps omni tanked or you downgrade tank in value to about 500ish mill to get same number of 1000 omni tank which is MORE then enough by far. Mach or Vargur with 2 bill dumped on tanking is 1000 dps omni tanked. In you restrict end game to battleships, Machariel prior to last patch, now Vargur.Ģ. Has CCP said that they want to nerf it? When you say that it will lose it's falloff bonus, do you mean that it will be reduced to perhaps 5% per level or removed completely? I feel like I would want to end up in a Machariel once I'm rich.ġ. I'm using a MJD/1400 arty fit.Īlso, let's talk a little bit more about the Machariel. I'm currently using a Maelstrom and I'm wondering how would you fit one today? Guristas are kicking my arse since they can hit me at all ranges and tend to all agro at the same time. Keep the opinions coming!ĭo you happen to have an updated version of your Mini-Vargur Maelstrom fit? Though the Mach has a bit more DPS, the Vargur can loot and salvage an extra 5-11m isk/mission while speed running, which puts it on top in my book.

1) Which one of these ships would be considered end-game?Ģ) Which has the most tank? (Don't count Bastion)ġ) Machariel and Vargur both qualify, if you're talking about mission blitzing.Ģ) The Vargur, hands down.
