Player Features and Ideas Discussion

ANOTHER tank slot for the Marauders!?! Their tank is already completely impentrible when fitted correctly.

One of the tournament fights featured a lone Marauder against 3-5 cruisers who couldn't do anything to the monsters tank.

Besides, I fly a Paladin myself and I have no problem with its tank. And they most definately do not require an additional mid slot either.

I was planning on using 2 Paladins for C4s then C5s, but they each cost 1.5 bill isk well fitted with almost no insurance pay out. I'm well aware that they will die eventually, but dying too often too quickly would break my wallet and force me to return back to high-sec grinding missions for SOE. I'd like to avoid that since I've already spent way too much time in high-sec as is because the fun factor I have for eve is starting to rapidly diminish.

So in order for me to be able to continue to enjoy this game any further it's time for me to change and do something more risky and more rewarding than the measly 7-8 bill iskies a month a make grinding SOE missions which is why I trained 2 alts to fly Paladins for WHs. But these ships are gank magnets that all it would take is one cloaky scout to spot you before the blob arrives in force. All the videos I've seen on attacks such as these have all ended with the Marauder dying, mostly due to the power of neuts. I don't mind dying if they can break my 3.8k dps perma tanking Paladin, but I cannot accept dying from capacitor drainage ,So I thought if CCP added one more slot to Marauders then I could create a fit that's almost neut proof and force the cheap gankers to break my tank by force or retreat back to their nest.

If this idea is failed, then what other options do I have Diomedes?

Learn how to run C4 WH sites without getting caught - or get some friends. Once you get caught, you are pretty much toast, unless you have friends of your own who are willing to come help you. This is true of almost any ship in Eve. As it says in numerous places, "there is no ship like friendship."

Well, just collapse all holes, put a cloaky scout in front of critical static, go farm. You should be absolutely fine. Unless you're not watching the hole closely enough (Protip: custom sound settings on scout, max gate&WH activation sound output.). Also, if your Paladin setup is 1.5B, you're kinda on the cheap side. Been using a 3B setup, allows for really heavy tanking, and is more or like uncatchable.

Do not collapse the static. Just lower it to critical.

If your WH has multiple static connections, you may want to find a different WH.

I seeeeeeeee, so that's how it's done eh. TYVM Diomedes. So you collapse all the holes and only collapse the statics to critical mass. And avoid WHs with too many statics, got it. You collapse the holes with Domis fitted with Higgs rigs right?

Choose your collapse BS based on you static approximative mass. You want a BS (with higgs) which allow you to either collapse or crit with a defined number of passages. If possible, all alts in your WH should be able to pilot said BS, to collapse faster.

If I didn't know better, I'd have thought page 1 and page 2 were completely different threads.

You can only fit one higgs rig. The other two then should be agility rigs, ideally. Also, if C4, most holes should collapse with 5 BSes, if i'm not mistaken. (Not all jumps have prop on.)





Also, no speaking about AFK cloaking, i don't want this thread to be closed as "duplicate".

In case you need more information, just search "wormhole farming guide" on Google, you'll find plenty of reading material.
