the only marauder i can use is golem,and i found it really powerful
1k+ dps and very stable, 100k+ range
with the bastion module,a single pithum b-type shield booster and several tech-2 modules could give a 700+ tank ,which is enough for lv4 mission

yep, you just answered your own question.

I use the same ship and bastion module on it, is the "that was easy" button.

I was assuming there would be a question in this thread.


Can you really ask a question as a statement.








Nope. Sounds awful.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Well, Golem seems nice. Loongish train for a very decent ship. BUT, how much "better" would it be compared to a CNR (with MJD) for example? Especially with the new loot and tractor modules...?

I personally prefer the paladin, but thats because i dislike carrying ammo, and have the naive hope that someday down the road CCP will fix lasers beyond taking our lowslots for more mids to "fit cap boosters"

It is better in that sense that you don't absolutely need to stuff it with faction, DS and officer gear to compete with the upper ISK/hr ratios. Same utility on above ships costs considerably less on a Golem and can be achieved using almost only T2/Meta mods thus they are far less likely to be ganked for their Pinãta factor.

Of course above only applies for people with common sense, so if you still want to fly your 7b Golem, please go ahead and don't forget to use your MTU.

According to my recent experience, a Vargur can tank enough and the Artillery/Autocannon swapping provides noticeably better DPS than the Golem. Anyway, I may go after the Paladin sometime, as arties are SO slow...

On the other hand, Marauders are performing so well, their ability to tank with T2 modules is so proficent, that the nerf hammer is assured. So enjoy them while they last.

You don't do 100km range, it's annoying to use because you have to use painters on just about every target to apply your damage. I'd say the Golem is about on par with the Vargur, they differ of course but they seem equally strong and the Vargur simply is less annoying to use. If damage types wouldn't be an issue then the Paladin would be king though.

i ran mission with CNR before Golem,the explosion radius bonus is awesome especially with warhead rigor catalyst rig,but the Golem have a larger bay for loot :p

I also prefer paladin, that 95km optimal with scorch is a wonderful thing :D

And it's something liek 70km optimal with MF and tachyons

Still undecided how I wanna play it out really, maybe carry both and a depot

Anything with drones, set to aggressive. And make sure you set up a mobile tractor unit for easy looting.

hrmm, I think you might want to be careful there, afaik the MTU can be accessed by anyone right? but if a ninja looter takes stuff from your MTU and your Drones are set to Aggressive your Drones will attack the ninja looter and you get flagged to them......

Close to the scam.
Only you can loot the MTU, but if a ninja looter attacks the MTU your drones on aggressive will attack them instead. Giving a limited engagement, meaning they can loot away in a T3 or HAC set up for PVP and then blow you happily when your drones are dumb.

The word scam implies some form of deception, there's no deception involved in popping an MTU

Fixed that for you.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Careful with the people warping to your mission and challenging you to a Duel, your drones will get you in trouble without you even noticing...

Only 700?

I get a 900 DPS tank just from a large T2 booster and hardeners lol

But yes the golem is a bit strong for the job you want to do :)
