==Summary==
The '''Vagabond''' is the fastest cruiser in the game. It is bonused for autocannons, which between its velocity and falloff bonuses it has no trouble getting in to range with. The naturally good tracking on autocannons means the vagabond can make short work of frigates as well as cruisers, making the vagabond a popular HAC for solo pvp. The relatively low grid on the Vagabond makes artillery difficult to fit.
The '''Vagabond''' is the fastest cruiser hull in the game. As with its T1 cousin the [[Stabber]], it has a falloff bonus for autocannon, which synergizes with T2 Barrage ammo to project meaningful "close"-range DPS out to 20 or 30 km, and high speed and agility to help it dictate range and kite its opponents. The Vagabond has two DPS bonuses for projectile turrets rather than the Stabber's one, making it even more dangerous, and well able to load shorter-ranged ammo and swoop in to burn down weaker or weakened targets.
 
Put together, these qualities make the Vagabond useful for solo and small-gang PvP.
 
Like other Heavy Assault cruisers, the Vagabond has a T2 resist profile and the ability to use an Assault Damage Control for brief spells of very high durability. Balancing out its speed, it is slightly less tough and lighter on base armor and structure hitpoints relative to some other Heavy Assault ships, though it is still very solid relative to cruiser-size hulls in general.
 
The somewhat constrained powergrid on the Vagabond makes it difficult to fit artillery, which in any case would benefit less from its falloff bonuses and would not be able to load Barrage.
