The Noctis didn't have much of an impact on casual mission players (the bulk of eve)

Marauders are great in pvp. Never found a more effective bait than a low-sec beltratting paladin.

A bit dated and before the proliferation of neuts but I present to you one of the most ridiculously entertaining vids ever made:

Marauders are the perfect PvP ship because no one expects them to be used for PvP, you've just got to roll with the disadvantages.

The pros of marauders are the high slots of nuets/smartbombs to clear out drones, which solves the sensor strength problem from ECM drones. So, where can you guarantee a situation where you'll see a falcon coming in and thus only engage in fights versus targets that are likely using ECM drones for jamming (which you can kill with your smartbombs) and thus nullify the marauder's only disadvantage?

Gated missions, of course, which is also the least likely place for someone to suspect a maruader as bait. It's a win-win.

If you can avoid the inevitable waves of ECM drones (fit smartbombs), the Golem and Vargur are both pretty nice. I've had good luck with them in deep 0.0 and WH space. But really, just get a CNR or Mach.
