Golem is already immune most ewar, and already had great damage projection at ~222KM. Now its projection with cruise missiles will be what? 350KM? why? we cant target anything that far. The Golem also already tanks better than the other marauders, making the bastion bonuses redundant.

People complained the Golem was rediculous when using dual XL ASB's... what will it be like now? 15k per second?

The Golem just doesnt get much benift from the new Bastion mode except a ridiculous shield tank, which is sad considering the uninspired bastion transformation and hideous redesign it was vandalized with.

Those silly people, rediculous isn't even a thing.

Alternately, I will state that bastion mode suits the Golem better than it does any other Marauder due to not having to worry about tracking.

Um Torps? THe increase in tank allows you to fit Torps and have good range with midslots spare for TPs to make up for the worse Damage application.

yea but the topics were different. i was going to post them both in the same one but they arent the same issue. one is about the 250km targeting range limit and the othe is about the bastion mode not really adding anything to the golem

i have level 5 missile skills and my max is 222km with standard cruise and 166km with t2 cruise. add the bastion mode and a couple rigs and youll be about 350km

golem is naturally immune to tracking distruption, its also immune to ecm and damps if you use fof missiles lol. and the fact that missile and ASB's dont use cap means neuts dont effect you as much. TP's against a golem are useless since its sig radius is already the largest of all BS's

so i dont see any benefit from bastion other than for using torps, but i say cruise does it better still

The Golem never needed a web bonus, never has, and never will be.

TP's are the Golems Tracking Computers, fit 2 - 3 of them and be happy, no webs needed.

PS: I don't know what rigs you use on your golem, so maybe your range with torps is not quite as incredible as mine, but right now my Golem can fling torps at targets almost 70km away. Yes, Javelin Torps. But I digress, I wanted to say, unless Webs get a range boost to 70km using them on a Golem that doesn't have Mach like speed is simply not worth it.

torps with bastion and 2 range rigs kinda become what they should while javs get 84.2 km . rage 46.8.
but i really dont see how module benefits cruise fits. without it i have 116 km on precision.
it give insane tank. so with pith b med sb +2 t2 invuls and em ward i have about 1k omni def and become almost cap stable.
for now only blaster kronos looks worst of all.

That's the whole point, why would I try and slowboat to my target when I can hit it from were I am now?

It'll be dead before arrive anyways.

Yeah, also I want my Marauder to have a speed of 1km/s, have 20k raw shield HP + T2 resists...

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't complain if I got that for my golem, but I also believe the time for Web bonuses on Marauders is "long" past.

The Golem just doesn't need any Web bonus at all. It does just fine without it and while the other Marauderrs would certainly benefit from the Web Bonus even more than the Golem, they can do without the web bonus as well, despite what Dinsdale and some other guys in the marauder thread are claiming constantly and repeatedly without end.

EDIT: Oh wait, I forgot. That thing with the bastion mode specially tailored to the ship it's used on. not a bad idea, I'd like that. It'd diversify the 4 marauders from each other without turning them into an entire new class of ship, I support ship diversity. Tho I do not support ship redundancy.
