Wormholes

Cycle your MWD, hit bastion, glide for 60 seconds, reapeat

you mistake max velocity with actual velocity

activating a module like that will not stop you immediatly, it forces you to slow down

a max speed sieged dread can actually stay moving untill its cycle ends

So basically, you could set up your vargur for kiting by combining Bastion/MWD/MJD, pick up speed with an OH mwd cycle and accelerate until the first scram/web hits, immediately bastion up and probably (with links) kite at some 800m/s (1.5km/s with CS links+OH mwd, 14seconds align approx), also very easy for your capacitor aswell as sigtanking missiles <.<
Especially given the huge damage envelope, sounds interisting. Once you're done can either MJD back to the wh or bounce back. :P

Nothing will stop you, protei go crying over your velocity and distance, and you're even running away from Hictors.

This sounds like a terribly nice niche application.

I'm thinking I need a scout in your hole.

Have you ever tried hitting siege in a dread at full speed? Did it instantly go to 0 speed? Cause the tooltip on the siege module says the same thing. Or with a cyno on a mwd BS at full speed? Same thing

Crappy dickstar POS's in C2 to C4 space will fall to these things like flies. Whoever said "bring rr domis so they can catch reps" is ignoring the reason you bring sentry domis for dickstars, which is the ECM. If you can run an RR chain against a dickstar, you're doing better than me.

Sure it sems stupid to dump 2B ISK Marauders on POS sieges, but if you cannot control the entries you shouldn't be sieging POSs in w-space. If a new hole opens you siege red, MJD 100km off the POS, tank up for 60s, then MJD out of dissy range and you're gone. Remember, POS scrams don't stop your MJD.

As for the person who said they'd catch a Marauder with a HIC bubble, you obviously haven't read up on MJD's. You'd need to infinipoint. if you don't bring logi to rep your HIC and you can't bust its tank, the Marauder can bust your HIC pretty damn quick, no Falcons.

Also, lets assume you get a warp-in at zero and want to drop a HIC. If the Marauder pilot sees you on d-scan he just stabs his MJD and is 100km away from the warp-in point before you land and lay point. You'll want to bring a fairly ballsy ceptor pilot who has good relations with Sleepers to burn after him.

They can also fit multiple NOS, and with the NOS changes they'll be sucking cap from everything they can. This is their defence against neuting. Paladins and Kronos will also have a full rack of mids to play cap boosters or large cap batteries with while running their AARs. So its not a lay down misere for a Marauder vs a small gang. Versus a TALUN sized blob, sure, it dies.

The MJD is the Marauder's defence against dreads. if your blaster Moros has a 120km range, let me know, I'll want your fit.

So yes, you WILL see marauders soloing C3 and C4 sites. You will get the slow, weak, lazy or inattentive with crap fits, but they won't be a single proteus proposition.

And what're YOU using to clear C5/C6 gas sites?

Range bonus will be helpful for blasters/autos, tank bonus if you haven't incapped all the mods yet, ECM IMMUNITY because F**K ECM, yea, they'll be pretty useful.

We'll as often see battlereports with lolmarauder topping every lossmail or the overconfident gank fleet who go lolmarauderinbastionlol, warp their useless HIC on it, followed by their soontodie T3s. Well at least they get their own HIC on the mails.

Is that guy really soloing sites, or is he baiting us, surrounded by a cloaky trapfleet? Only one way to find out.
