I know this question has been asked eleventybillion times, but I've never seen a post or subsequent thread responses that matches my situation.

Currently in a marauder, Torp V and Torp Spec V, not sure about my hardwirings but I think they're all 1% to missile attribute bonuses, except the damage bonus which I have the 3% one. Cannot remember the rigs offhand, one is a fuel partition for sure. I'm sporting 4 target painters in the mids, and tech 2 torp launchers, too. Total glass cannon backed up by a full Logi V alt spider repping and picking off frigates with T2 drones. Pretty efficient, even if it is cheating...

Now... With the above setup, which works VERY well, would I do more damage in a CNR because I also have Criuse V and Criuse Spec V?

Looking for hypothetical fits, or advice, flames work too. Thanks for reading!

Only a tri-painter golem can get anywhere near eft dps with torps, regardless of your launcher skills (mine are perfect aswell). If you're using a CNR, cruise missiles the the only way to go.

So besides the fact of the defender missiles.

Since the Golem has Higher tank and can use 2 or 3 bonused target painters would not it be better then the CNR with t2 cruises ?

with 7 mids you can have 2 tps a prop mod and enough tank with 4 cn bcus in lows.

Does anyone fly that setup and can compare it to lets say "Liangs CNR"


It seems to me that it would be better damage application and mobility if sufferig bit more from the defender missiles but for some reason I do not get a lot of those in the area I am in.
