C4's and solo Marauders

As per the title I am looking at running c4 sites with a Marauder.

Now, I know you can solo C5's with a fairly large amount of ease with Vargurs, but I have not heard much about being able to solo c4's with marauders. A logical person would think "Well if it can do a c5 it should be able to do a c4", but I also know that the mechanics of the sites in c4s differ from the c5s.


With that, I am wondering if anyone has successfully ran c4 sites solo with a Marauder. More specifically, a Palladin. If anyone has fits that would run it well that would be much appreciated.

If running them solo is not feasible, does anyone have some RR fits for a duo/trio of Palladins or possibly even running duo nestors?


Thanks in advance for any help with this. It is much appreciated.

Paladin and golem are better, C4 sites have way more RAAAAAAANGE

You could just bring 1400s in your cargo hold and mobile depot but #shitdps

Yes, I was aware that c4's usually spawn/orbit around 80k or so.

Basically my corp has made a move into a c4, and we are looking to get advice on running c4's solo/duo with marauders or a nestor/marauder combo.

Just ******* no. If you are gonna do RR do Domis.


But marauders can easily do them solo. Makes you insane amounts of isk too.

Yeah only issue is going to be range and the paladin doesnt have any problems with that.

Would you happen to have a viable fit or two handy?


Thanks in advance.

When you say solo C5, you mean with only one ship or multiboxing? I am assuming boxing but if not damn thats a stronk ass Marauder.

Pally with pulse is good enough. Bring tachs in hold for lol range and dps.

I guess its possible if you stay out of range but def risky.

Sounds like a WH gankers wet dream in the making. GL.

Vargurs can burn through c5 sites solo in about 25 minutes or so.

Trying to get a viable pally fit for c4's.

The faction smart bomb is priceless for those orbiting frigates, and you won't need the Sensor Booster if you're not in a Magnetar. This has an omnitank of 2000dps and the only time cap stability was a problem was against the 4x Sleepless Safeguards wave in the relic/data sites (just deploy mobile depot and refit for cap injection), otherwise 95% of the time even the NOS's were just slot fillers. The MJD is handy for initial positioning, but after that I found it best to stay put so that the sleepers were always in MTU range when they popped.

I assume this would be viable in a no-effect hole as well?

Sure, I'd personally just swap the Sensor Booster for another Tracking Computer for no-effect C4s.

If running these sites with duo marauders would you replace a nos with a cap transfer?

PSST, marauders can solo certain C6 sites.

This is as nice as I get. Best quote ever https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=4137165#post4137165

As Bastion mode prevents you from receiving cap transfers (and remote assistance in general) then no.
