since the loot drop nerf im not sure marauders are even worth it

half the ammo costs?...naa...that could never be a good reason to do anything...

Also, all those who are boasting how awesome the max damage fits are...do you even look at the plethora of ganked marauders out there? Let me help you out....LOTS of pure T2 fits. But you know what 90% of those now dead T2 fits have in common....yup...no DC2, single hardner, and undersized rep.

At this point they don't do it for the iskies, they hit freighters for that...they do it because you let them...by giving them an easy 1b KM.

I'll start being afraid to fly marauders when they bother to actually take some of the 20B + ships out of incursions. Doesn't take long to find some, especially if you run a logi with a ship scanner for a bit.


Well I guess it is a lot easier to gank somebody semi afk and alone at a gate or in a mission to fetch the loot. Then again a lot of Incursion runners are like this to. From my experience running in Lanngisi last year for SOE LP, what kills people is not putting a few hundred million ISK in fitting on a BS(I had 6 pirate and faction BS with high performance fittings in that price range there and never had any issues) but not paying attention, I mean a short look into local every 20 minutes or on the KB 1-2 times each day could have easy saved people billions of ISK when the Russians where around for 1-2 days every 2 weeks or so. I mean they did literally give away her presence by using shifty looking alts in scan frigs at nearly every gate and station instead of a BS/T3 that pretends to be afk like some others do and even if people pointed out in Local that gankers are around, you see people still die in her expensive ships every 20-30 minutes and rage in local how this could have happened to them(at least the ones that where not completely afk and at least managed to warp her pod out).

I rarely did see a high performance fitting on the KB, what you see are all that semi afk over tanked setups, that are not only more expensive than high performance options because of the fairly expensive tank mods you don't really need, but also probably a sign to the gankers that this person doesn't pay much attention on his way to and in his mission, what might make it a considerable easier target then a mwd fitted BS that can burn back to a gate or easy could be out of range once you get to his mission.

Chainsaws fitting is solid, I would probably use a large pith B booster for not being dependent on Bastion to tank L4s(same 80M price point) and a mwd instead of a AB but the rest is fairly cookie cutter when it comes to doing L4s quick.

Speaking of fail fits... Generally speaking, you want 3-4 TPs, a prop mod (MJD or MWD/AB as needed), salvage drones, and an MTU. And NoDoz. With Marauders in level 4s, it's more about Applied DPS, Damage Projection, and Mobility (including Warp Speed.) Tank is pretty far down the list.

After that, the upgrade path from a Golem is to a gunship (and/or a Rattlesnake depending on your temperament.)



I run Lvl 4s with a Golem and a Vargur at the same time. Two TPs is really all that is needed. The only prop mod is an AB for moving between gates. Obviously your suggestion is valid - there's more than one way to skin a cat after all, but in my experience my fit is better (otherwise I'd be using one similar to yours).

Golem is top of the pile for Caldari Lvl 4s. A RS is not an upgrade.

Also, 6 CM Launchers? Big smile


Well caught. My mistake - that'll teach me to try and me a smart arse! I must have been in a rush or not thinking - I know all Marauders only have 4 turret/launcher spots.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

This fit saddens me. Download a copy of pyfa and use it.

With that setup, You will tank well over the LVL 4 missions and still do good amount of DPS
Resists profiles on bastion will go over 80% and you can select your DMG,
Light warriors will get the frigates and cruiser
