What fits are people using to fight drifters? I know that you'll end up losing your ship to their DD eventually, so cheap is likely good. What balance of tank/DPS do you need to survive their normal guns though?

Thanks!

Speed is your tank, aka kiting style. All the rest should go to dps.

You might try x-types Maraduer in bastion.

Thanks! I won't be able to fly marauders for a while, but I thought they couldn't move in bastion?

True, so yo have to rely on your active tank (armor/shield)Roll

Well... I guess you can tank a marauder against DD, but that will involve links, implants and stuff like that. DPS will be not stellar though.

I have a feeling that I'm biting something though.
