Vargur
RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES
|
Geared toward versatility and prolonged deployment in hostile environments, Marauders represent the cutting edge in today's warship technology. While especially effective at support suppression and wreckage salvaging, they possess comparatively weak sensor strength and may find themselves at increased risk of sensor jamming. Nevertheless, these thick-skinned, hard-hitting monsters are the perfect ships to take on long trips behind enemy lines. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Vargur is the Minmatar Marauder-class battleship. Like the other marauders the Vargur has a very strong local tank, large number of utility high slots, is bonused for micro jump drive and can use the bastion module.
The Vargur gains 10% bonus to its projectile weapon falloff per Minmatar Battleship level. As this is a T2 ship you won't be able to fly it without receiving the full 50% falloff bonus. This bonus gives the Vargur even greater range than Machariel at max level allowing the Vargur to use autocannons at unparalled ranges. Additionally the Vargur gains a powerful 7.5% tracking bonus per Marauders level allowing it to apply damage even at close range with ease. Together these two bonuses make the Vargur able to engage targets at a very wide range of distances.
In addition to strong application bonuses the Vargur also gains a 100% hull bonus for weapon damage making its four guns equal to the eight guns that battleships usually have. In addition to this the Vargur gains 7.5% damage bonus per Minmatar Battleship level, giving it 11 effective guns, which is then doubled by the Bastion Module up to 22 effective guns.
As with all Marauders, the Vargur gains 70% reduced reactivation delay for Micro Jump Drives (resulting in a 54s cooldown on the module), which allows the Vargur to move surprisingly quickly, travelling to any location with 200km in about a minute. However, jump directions must still be planned and executed correctly, as once a jump is made the Vargur is effectively stuck there until its drive recharges. Also as with all Marauders, the Vargur gains access to the Bastion Module, which when activated immobilizes the Vargur for 30 seconds and blocks any incoming remote assistance (such as remote repairs), but gives increased range, enormously increased fire rate, additional damage resistance, additional local repair power, and near immunity to electronic warfare. The combination of Bastion, Micro Jump Drive, and aforementioned Tracking and Falloff bonuses allows the Vargur to function as a massive turret which can teleport to any engagement range it wishes, output enormous amounts of damage with high accuracy, absorb and shrug off incoming fire, and then teleport out again before slower enemies can even get into range.
The less combat oriented 100% bonus to tractor beam range and velocity allows the Vargur to quickly loot wrecks and containers, combined with utility high slots this allows the Vargur to loot and salvage missions on the fly.

Tactics
Bastion+MWD trick allows marauders to warp almost instantly after coming out of bastion. Hover the mouse on the decycling bastion module to see exactly how long it has left. At the 9 second mark, start cycling the MWD for one cycle and start spamming "warp to" hotkey. After the bastion mode ends you will get one second of MWD that accelerates you to near warp speed and the marauder will warp in 2-3 seconds. Additionally the bastion mode makes hostiles unable to activate warp disruption or scram so you will not be pointed when the bastion ends giving you a small window to escape before the points are activated.
Marauders in bastion mode can jump Wormholes as normal and be instantly out of bastion mode on the other side.
