The new shied boosters with cap booster built in

The natural high shield bonus with marauder skill + the massive cargo, can store enough cap charges to last hours

Actually boosting cargo capacity will prolong cap stability, with 2 rigs and 1 expander i peeks at over 2000m3
that’s just over 83 (800) charges not to mention the preloaded ones

moreover, you can fit 1 cap boosted shield booster, and 1 normal one and essentially shield regen from 2 different resources

Very advanced ship indeed

I should buy an Ishtar.

I am not sure but distinctly advantageous position it is in

Perhaps someone could find a use for it, seems like a badass amount of shield tank tho

not trying to demean your efforts but the way i see it, nobody will use it that way. for missions the tank would be simply overkill and in pvp, you will be dead in the 60sec reload most likely, so *shrug*

edit: maybe as a creative way to tank lvl5s or localtanking C5 sites (lol)

I should buy an Ishtar.

Not 100% on how it would be used tbh

maybe its to try make mission running a bit easier i dont know.

What ever it gets used for the ship has an advantage of bigger cargo and built in shield booster bonus.

I suppose you could argue it would have to be used that way,

you can’t do missions with a 1 min down time maybe a mid or small booster while it recharges or something

Vargur also has 6 mid slots which facilitates this

High end deadspace boosters are gonna drop in price... But then, given the kind of people using those, maybe not...

Thats all well and good but if you go into a fight knowing you will have a 60 sec down time at some point or another you gonna have to run or use a secondary booster eventually

The idea being the secondary lesser booster would give you a buffer to reload primary

Well i have a vargur i am about to jump into, so i think i might test this with a corpie doing some L4's... he can tank rooms while i test the boosters out.

The fitting requirements are a bit tricky, i was going to put a medium or large cap booster on instead, but will swap that out for the ASB. Should i use 400 or 800 sized charges though?

I think CPU is gonna be too much, will see...

The golem can do this too.

That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter used by carriers.

No it won't. Get faction gyros and hardeners.

It's definitely an interesting concept. If it brings life back into the somewhat-neglected Marauder class, it's worth a shot.

Only for shield boosting. I guess the LARs are so overpowered as it is that they can just stay the way they are.Roll

almost sounds good except for the 1min reload...

and the varg already does pretty damn well the way it is set up now. mine has a 4 slot t2 tank.

I don't know what you do but you can turn the "auto-reload" function of cap booster and ancillery booster of and the booster still runs as long as you have cap.
I you have cap injectors, you have a nice shield booster with larger capacitor requirements.
Always load the smalled possible charges into the booster and you have a capless shield boost for 40 seconds. After the charges run out it uses capacitor - win?

This is the law of ship progression!
