If you overheat your invuls on the marauder you get close to 100k dps, on the Rattler, 64k.


You wouldn't want solidifiers - you'll want cargo expanders so you can carry more cap boosters - this gives you more effective hitpoints over the course of a fight.

The fits you have posted are extreme, you're right. Use of crystals and a booster is by no means unusual, and ridiculous (i.e. as much as a dread) tanks are very possible with T2 modules only.

Are you seriously arguing that this is desirable?

What I'm saying is they're not as OP as you're making out. If we T2 fit the golem and the rattler, with the same boosts and links we get 22k Rattler, 27k Golem. Golem is unable to be RR'd and is immobile while the Rattler can receive RR and is mobile.

The Rattler needs an extra ASB and an extra boost amp but given the RR and the mobility there's not a lot of difference in baitability or killability.


Wrong. The rattlesnake has nowhere near the cargo capacity. Cargo = cap boosters = ehp

But you do (re)raise another eve problem - allowing dual ASB in the first place. The pro argument says that in order to fit them you have to gimp the ship. The rattlesnake, deimos, vargur, sleipnir, tengu, etc all give the lie to that.

Perhaps my concerns would be addressed if CCP did the decent thing and limited the ASB to 1 per ship.

Well on a cargo capacity comparison, if you fitted out the empty slots with expanders and used rig slots for expanded cargo the Rattler beats the Golem by about 200m3.

I agree with you, ASB should be limited to one per.

I woudl like the ASB to be limited to 1 per ship, but then returned to its status before the ASB nerf ( 2 more charges and a tiny bit faster cycle)

BTw I would love to find those 60 K dps tank marauders on the field. The loot wil be epic. BEcause we will slowly and with patience keep it tackled ( just need to be paying attention).. And keep our ships alive thanks to logis. And eventually it will run out of juice. Since its offensive caabilities are not that great.. its just a matter of time before the marauder dies.

You're forgetting that this kind of thing will be deployed as bait. It won't be your fleet vs 1 marauder. It will be your fleet being ganked by the marauders friends.

At least that's how I'll be using it :-)

Will your typical PvP fit ships with cap booster filled cargo even carry enough ammo to grind through such a ship?

With lord Xanex by my side I can do anything (Atleast with a smile) !!!!

Yes, Marauders require longer training time than dreadnoughts.

What's the point of keeping tractor bonuses with the new deployable structure?

  • The new structure might not have the same attributes than the Marauders - it will only tractor one item at a time and while the tractor range will be longer than the Marauders, it won't be as fast (no tractor beam velocity bonus). I'll let CCP Fozzie explain the details.

    • Marauder pilots asking for tractor beam buff for years since Noctis (with overpowered unbalanced salvaging\looting capabilities) introduction. How hard is to change one digit in bonus value making a lot of people satisfied with 72 km range instead of current 48km?

    This is pure "Quality of Life" change but for some strange reason you prefer to just ignore it.

    Sorry if question has been answered already.

    Vargur in middle of mission, bastion module ON, i loose connection, not pointed, vargur will not comence e-warp, it will just sit there until rats kill it, because bastion module will be shut off after one cycle. Is this intended or bug ?

    this issue has been known for months but CCP has not commented or even hinted at it so far. I hope it is a bug

    I think CCP did a wonderful job with the kronos. If I could get an extra 20k more with blasters it would be perfect.

    Am I missing something here? Why is the golem the only marauder that doesn't get a dps bonus?

    Or you could just neut it. I doubt any marauders will be flying with more than two cap boosters anyway.

    Also you gotta stop posting while drunk. it's embarrassing
