Calm down miner. As you pointed out, people think they can get away with stuff they would not in rl... Like for example illegal mining... - Ima Wreckyou*

Of all the ship classes in the game, I think the Marauders are probably the most well balanced class amongst themselves.


I for one feel that Marauders are what they should have been years ago.
Basically, the kings of solo PVE, yet a good pilot can make good use in PVP but is at extreme risk of loss due to the nature of the ship being solo oriented.

nah blops are the most well balanced there is not a single one i can point to and say "i would never fly that" with marauders there is definitely an imbalance in their main role (pve) where the Kronos is kinda meh. When it comes to pvp the Kronos is still kinda meh.

I however do not fly them nearly as much as i do blops so there may be something about the Kronos i don't know but over all yes they have a very good both within their class and in the rest of eve

That's hybrids for you. If they were a bit more agile they might really shine with the micro-jump and blaster combo, but Bastion makes blasters half pointless except in pve, where the immobility leaves them as just...meh. Alternatively Rails and the microjump would be great too, but they really just don't pack enough punch to be really effective, though they do have good range.

Sin is weird too, as drones don't interact well with cloaks. Seems like they should switch weapon focus, except I don't know that Mauraders would fare any better with drones unless Bastion did something to them as well, and I am pretty sure someone would faint if the Kronos started putting out some flavor of rattlesnakeish super drone.

Yeah, that's more an issue with hybrids combined with immobility over the kronos just being bad.

However, while the Kronos may seem to underperform, what you must consider is that within its range, it eats EVERYTHING.

That said, hybrids aren't designed with immobility in mind.
It does perform a bit better with rails, but not so much in pvp.

However, a Golem is virtually crap with torps in any situation due to aplication, fails at PVE with rapid heavies due to reload and range, and fails with cruise in pvp due to all kinds of reasons.
So, torps are useless for everything except structure bashing, cruise are only good for PVE, and repaid heavies are only good for pvp.

All in all, I'd say they all have some flaws, though the minmatar (brain fart) is the most versatile, which is to be expected with mini ships.

Drones give the sin it's niche making it the only blops that can apply damage instantly after jumping and able to apply full damage to all classes. I also dobby know how good drones would work for a marauder I could see people popping its drones then just sitting on it while it's in bastion.
