Well, like farting into the wind, posting on the F&I thread on Marauder changes is pointless - I tried and it vanished. No input from devs for quite a while indicates they are either stuck for a fix, or sticking with the rubbish they have.

Nothing against the idea, but a web bonus on a ship with a MJD bonus - DUH?

Enter mission - Jump - kill. Web bonus flops in the wind.

Basically takes my Vargur - removes its shield bonus, gives a useless high, and makes sure you cant fit a web because your tank now sucks unless you DO use the MJD with bastion - voila - web moot.

COME ON FFS - THIS IS STUPID.

Go post in the appropriate section then.

Also, you don't have to use the web bonus if you don't have to. Its not like there is a web hardwired into one of your mids man...

You mean the 7.5% shield boost bonus that is currently on the Vargur and is staying on the Vargur as of the most recent dev update? Posted 45 minutes before you started this thread....

I didnt think the web bonus was a bad idea at all seeing if you got caught off gaurd or the MJD wasnt ready yet something gets close you need a way to slow it down to track it right?

How about jumping it INTO the action instead of out? You're trading a 37.5% boost bonus for a 100% boost bonus and more than 37.5% in resistances. Its a win win, it's just not as OP as the first iteration. The web bonus is an added bonus with nothing taken that isnt replaced.

TBPFH RTFM.

Latest dev post states the first iteration is going to the test server, and yes it was OP.

Blasphemy! Just kidding... If you're rich enough to bring out a billion ISK ship for PVP then that's awesome!

I'm however excited to see how the changes will affect their PVE application. Currently they are well just blah when compared to pirate faction ships.

Thank you Mia. Yes - missed it, but trawling all that was getting me down.

And as for reverting and on to the test server - its what they should've done. God bless em.
