The [[Vagabond|Vagabond]] is a [[Minmatar]] Heavy Assault [[Cruiser|Cruiser]] based on the [[Stabber]] class. It's currently the potentially fastest [[HAC|HAC]] in the game, and is the game's prime candidate for [[Speed Tank|speed tanking]].

In the standard approach to fitting (referred to as the nano-vaga), the [[Vagabond|Vagabond]] has 5 auto-cannons, then uses it's low slots for [[Damage|damage]] increasing [[Gyrostabilizer|gyrostabs]] and speed increasing modules such as [[Overdrive Injector|overdrive injectors]], while the mids are dedicated to a [[Microwarp Drive|microwarp drive]], a [[Warp Disruptor|point]], and a [[Large Shield Extender|shield extender]] to give a buffer of hitpoints. The remaining slots are then filled up as appropriate to one's planned usage and grid requirements. Since the [[Vagabond|Vagabond]] often does not carry a [[web]], a good option for the 6th high slot is a medium [[energy neutralizer]], which can be very effective against smaller ships.

The nano-vaga is expensive and difficult to fly, but by selectively triggering it's microwarp drive on and off, it's usually able to maintain a 17-20 km orbit distance where it can fight at the edge of it's falloff, out of the range of other close range cruisers and heavy assault cruisers. In case of emergencies, the pilot is also often able to disengage, [[Align|align]] to a celestial object, and warp out once out of range of enemy [[Tackling|tacklers]] and [[Warp Interdictor Bubble|warp bubbles]].
