Missions & Complexes

Okay you only need 1 T2 invulnerability field, 1 Pith XL SB, and 1 T2 SBA. If you want to bling something buy 3 CN BCS (Keep one T2).

Use a MJD and cruise missiles to destroy everything from range.

Fit 3 target painters.

I have this on my Golem and have absolutely no issues tanking.

With the fit I suggested you can get ganked in certain systems like Osmon. The Golem has no EHP so all it takes is maybe a dozen Thrashers. With your fit the gankers will come to you!

I have a requirement to be cap stable, my little brother is prone to having seizures

The values are much lower than that. Go look at some of the lossmails from Osmon. I've seen stuff ganked with only faction damage mods fitted. The reason for this is gankers like to use destroyers. Even one CN BCS will cover the cost of a dozen T1 fit destroyers.

Outside major mission areas it just depends on if the right person scans you. You can fly a 30 bil ISK Golem for a year and never get ganks or you can lose a 1 billion ISK CNR if the right person scans you.

If you have to be cap stable because you might have to go AFK I would recommend a SNI. You'll be able to cheaply fit it and be able to go AFK in the mission in the event of an emergency. You're just asking for a lossmail going AFK in a Golem.

838 DPS, Cap stable, 95k EHP with T2 fit... Not going to get ganked and still does decent DPS

Also unless CCP patched it Marauders don't warp if you DC... You just sit there and die with all hardeners off. If this has been changed someone correct this.. I can be forgetful

I want to try the Vargur but not enough ISK at the moment.

Yea in the past week thunderstorms have knocked out my power twice... Have to love Texas.

If only I had bought it! We could have had some funp

You can search for a player if you visit such an agent. You give him isk, type in the player name, he will tell you that he's gonna search for him and you get a notification where said player has been in the last time. Useful if you wardecced somebody and want to know where he hangs out usually for example.

On topic: There is a very simple method if you dont want to be ganked. Aside from not fitting faction mods you can simply go for a buffer tank. Over the time when you accumulated enough skills you barely need a tank at all. Lvl 4's have been made back then with players in mind who had T1 battleships with meta 4 modules or worse or even for BC's. Due to powercreep and buffing of ships over the years marauders laugh at the pitiful damage you receive in most missions.

You can mitigate most of the damage by simply keeping range. Fit a MJD and cruises to your Golem, jump to 100 and shoot. For tank, fit a couple of shield extenders and hardeners. You can manage most missions even without a shield booster. Voila, gankers need to apply way more damage to kill you.

Vargur is pretty easy to get cap stable without cap mods. I've found the opposite with armor as the skills speed up the cycles.

That is one of the main reasons to gank someone though, would you gank a normal Leopard? What about one with 700 plex's in that cargo hold along with an Aeon BPO?
