This has to be a troll post because they tank even better than before in bastion mode to the point that you do actually need caps to kill them from what I have heard in 6C.

but it's good for looting the can with the stupid damsel in it. no ******* way am I warping back to station and coming back with a noctis just for that crazy lady.

if anything the tractor bonus should get better to compete with the noctis. going back to station and switching ships is a waste of time!

Rest assured that they don't.



So let's examine your points:

1. Please do enlighten me on how a dev originating from Pandemic Legion or Band of Brothers or Goonswarm or Red Frog has any bearing on anything.

While it's true that the Paladin and Golem saw their drone bandwidth reduced by two-thirds, the Kronos and Vargur only lost 25Mbit. You don't really need drones on the Golem and you shouldn't really need them on such a long-range platform as a Paladin. As far as pulling drones back in, I tend to pull in my light drones pretty quickly. It helps to keep them close to the ship. Your last complaint is false too - drones begin attacking as soon as they're in range; they just apply it more poorly before the MWD cycles off.

By the way, you make hundreds of millions of ISK an hour and you're whining about replacing four or five million ISK per site? Really?

Learn to fly your ship. Learn to fly in a fleet. Learn how tracking works and modify your tactics accordingly.


2. The warp acceleration is pretty lousy, granted. However, I think you're being a little bit overdramatic. When I say "a little bit" I really mean "incredibly and overwhelmingly, to the point of comedy". It will affect Incursion income for sure, but mission income won't be affected all that noticeably.

3. You see, contrary to what you experience in your hyper-specialized and super-narrow armor incursion fleet, there are tons of fat, slow ships out there with no web bonus at all who handle elite frigs getting under their guns every single day. You're basically saying you can't do the same thing they do while having the same tools available to you that they have.

While it doesn't directly address anything you've said so far, I just want to point out that in the natural world, overspecialization of a species tends to lead directly to its extinction. Feel free to chew on that for a little bit.


4. Do you even have any idea what kind of senseless sperg you are typing? First you complain that it takes so long to get into warp and so long to travel but then you talk about how you're going to be sitting at a gate or station waiting for the Weapons Timer to expire. Are they adding Incursion Sites right on top of gates and stations now? Having a weapons timer does not force you to remain in a site. It does not restrict acceleration gates.

There aren't even that many gankers in highsec unless your Marauder is fully deadspace/officer-fitted. Even if it is and they do appear, just put Bastion back on and tank them until CONCORD arrives.

Every time I go into Bastion on SiSi to kill belt rats (mostly because I feel like it rather than for any practical reason) my weapons timer has always expired by the time I finish warping back to the station.

If you happen to be the type who drops Bastion to salvage a room before moving on to the next, you'll be salvaging the final room of the mission while your Weapons Timer counts down. A minute is a lot shorter than what you make it out to be with your antics.

You're right though, it will have an effect on PvE income - it will increase it. The time you shave off of each mission or site by having more DPS fitted on account of needing fewer tanking modules will translate into higher ISK/hr.



Personal attacks and tinfoil, because that's the way to get listened to around here.

Perhaps instead of making butthurt flame-rants because your precious ISK/hr has been touched, you can be a contributor to the solution of how Marauders should be rebalanced. All you're accomplishing right now is making yourself into a justification for all the insults and resentment the Incursion communities receive.

Then again, I'm not surprised. I think I can count on one hand the number of times an incursion pilot has come on the forums and not made a spectacle of themselves.

we got some insight on how the structure will work and it will tractor 1 object at time with t2 tractor speed ( 600m/s) - dont abandon your bonused tractors yet
