You'd be an expensive sitting duck with a massive "come look at me!" beacon attached to them, but you'd also be tanked to hell and back and possess good combat abilities and utility high slots to spare.

An interesting notion....

As long as you select the proper place to try it, might be a good idea... otherwise will be an expensive loss mail.

It's marauder bait. Very nice. I'll probably go for it every time.

I think the point is to run some pve thinger in low or null and when some gang of a55holios tries to gank you - you push the cyno button. Bastion keeps you alive until your gang of marauder bait a55holios wonks up on their gang of marauder gank a55holios.

This is beauty in action.

As a side note, black ops can jump/bridge to a normal cyno, so let's get this done.

Nope - the only thing that a cyno stops you from doing is moving/jumping/docking but your bastion will also do that too :D

I'm pretty sure you cannot fit a Cynosural Field Generator on a Marauder.



(Maybe I should have looked that up first, don't want to stick my neck out with a wrong statement.)

Thanks for your concern, but you quoted me so , it's too late to edit that statement . . . aaannnddd, I did take a look, my bad. There is a difference between a Cynosural Field Generator and a Covert Cynosural Field Generator.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Try undocking in a marauder and lighting a cyno with it. If you look it up you may just be copying forward anothers mistake. "I just did it" wins.

my fit in eft shows 8kdps tank. i cant remember the ehp. think it was in the region ogf 80k ehp with 80% resists across the board what kind of fleet can that stand up to? is this a silly question like how long is a piece of string or a fleet that does 8k dps dumbass.

i know thats not a lot of ehp btw but it can be improved if i change the fit a bit.

are t3's better for this?

Assuming we're still talking about marauder cyno baiting - I'll say it doesn't really matter. Until you can control the makeup of the game taking the bait, most of that discussion is irrelevant. You then have to factor in your cyno gang. Are you bridging a zillion F1 flying monkeys in? or 6 bombers and Sin? Then you have to add in the balls factor that varies from pilot to pilot.

I'd look at it this way: I'm using a marauder as bait w/ cyno. At some point I'm going to lose it. The real question is how much fun can you squeeze out of that hull before you need a new one.
