Ships & Modules

I wouldn't bother soloing sites really, leaves you too vulnerable for too long a time, requires too-expensive hulls, and is less interesting than flying with friends.

Additionally you can't benefit from logistics while under bastion so judging by your post you might be slightly misinformed. That being said, like all PVE content a MJD might be just as valuable, if not more so, to your ability to clear sites, as the bastion module is.

edit; not sure what % of cap stability you should have but you likely need a booster and a couple nos's in your utility highs. I would solo C3s using a large capacitor battery in my legion which I found useful, maybe you could try swapping booster for a cap battery on SiSi and see how it goes in a C4 (there's a mirror likely coming up, according to a dev in the test server forum)

The whole purpose of Bastion is to not need logistics. A marauder should be able to keep itself up especially in a Standard C4 site

Seems I made a mistake here. I though they could benefit from cap transfer since they can be neuted, but they can't. So you really rely on yourself with Marauders, unless you manage to disengage with Bastion mode off and get repped and cap transfer'd.
Thanks for the quick replies, keep them coming! :)

Golems force multiply each other more than any other singular ship.

Me either. Once you have like 3 target painters on your target any more is pointless, right? And its not like spider tanking is unique to golems or something. And it isn't like target painters are unique to golems.

"but they have a TP bonus!" Yeah, so what?

Makes sense, Golems are TP bonused and use missiles so they benefit from each other... I imagine a small group of them (2-3) focusing TP's and firepower on a single target would probably be an effective combo.

If someone has some WH Marauder fits he/she could share I'd be very grateful! They're a bit hard to find...

I'm also intrigued about the Kronos. I'm finding mixed opinions about it on the Internet... some people say it's the one Marauder that got the worst part of their rebalance, others say it's a monster... How well would it work with a Railgun+MJD fit?

I cant speak for marauders in wh, I havent tried that yet.

But as for the Kronos, Yes it got the lowest change from bastion.

PreBastion it was a very stable ship with nothing that really made it shine in one area over the other. Paladin had beam fitting issues, Golems had dps application issues, and Vargur was Vargur (good ship but outclassed by Mach in every way but salvaging).
But Kronos could fit its large guns with lots of fitting space. The biggest problem with it was the lower dps then other marauders but fewer problems allround.

Bastion Kronos , is basically the same. better with some fits then others but in general it doesnt outclass any other marauder in anything. It remains a stable easy to fit ship with middle of the road dps, application and range. It is because its is balanced well that it never gets noticed as a good ship.

Also because gallente, it has better drone options then other marauders, but it was never op in any area.

As a wh pilot though, I would worry about neuting from some of the higher level ships, c3 being the highest level i would feel comfortable in solo. c3 is ~600 dps to ~1150, its not impossible but its of concern to keep the cap close to stable while being able to rep in those ranges.

Vargurs using dual XLASB are seen doing C5 sites because of the nature of capless guns and capless tank. cap boosters in a wh are meh though 760 dps with a cap boosted tank of 3375single 6677double - 8285doubleheat using no implants or faction mods. all V skills.

Recent videos? Or are they older from before the Sleeper buff?

My old corp was in a C5 and I had to stop using my vargur mostly because the rest of the corp had moved out of BS into Carriers/Dreads. I set up a webbing Loki while I worked on my dread skills, but with the rest of the corp set up to logi caps, my Vargur melted pretty quickly when it got primaried by the entire room PLUS a double cap escalation.
