Crime & Punishment

WTF are you talking about? Putting too many shiny modules on your ship will get you killed. It has nothing to do with cap stability.
Also, that ship isn't even cap stable.

Well if he's not going for cap stability i have no ******* idea what he was trying to achieve with those rigs and a recharger. Its not like the golly lacks cargo space for cap charges.

I'm curious why he didn't go the whole hog and throw in a faction cap recharger. What's an extra 20m compared to all that?

In all seriousness, throwing the eagle drone link in there just about sums that fit up; completely unnecessary.

Edit: And I wish I was there to ninja-scoop the loot.

Fair enough, didn't add those in, it probably was.

But, but, then I wouldn't be able to go AFK and make a lasagna while missioning.

Hey

Its cap stable with the ab off and my current implants :)

6:08 mins cap with all on

Nice kill btw I was like half armor , then half struct then dead.

I will bite on this one.
If you live in an area that is prone to internet drop outs being cap stable is a virtual requirement unless you like losing ships while you struggle to re-connect. How do I know this? because it happens to me at least twice every week.
Because you do not need the security of knowing that your ship has enough cap to keep going while you take 20 minutes or more to re-connect does not mean that others do not.

Well here is a more economical fit for you, that is still capstable.

I'd still consider this hugely overtanked, but it would at least give you some decent buffer against gankers, and make it a lot more expensive to gank vs cost of modules fitted.

Okay, the numbers:

Domi BCS are basically 23m each vs 108 for CN varients, in bastion the difference is 57 DPS for a cost of 265m. so you are fitting 324m of extra gank bait for 53 DPS, totally not worth it

Gist C's are about 220m atm, so 2x Gist C's invuns is about the same cost as 1 x CN invun. The addition of the A spec EM field gives you a solid omnitank for an extra 80 m. All told these three shields will cost you about 500m - little more than the price of one CN - and any ganker needs to weigh up the loot fairy gods might not drop them and they'd need to drop all 3 to pay for even 5 tornados.

Gist C type medium booster. With bastion bonus you absoloutely do not need a XL booster, a medium booster and a full crystal set gives you better results with the advantage is in hisec you have to be beyond dumb to lose your pod missioning, and unlike shiny modules your implants cant be looted.

So a C type med booster will run you about 89 m vs the 475m the XL and 77m your amp is costing you - another 463m stripped from the gankbait.

Domi afterburner - you really don't need deadspace, mauraders are slow as bricks.

Downgrading your booster means you can lose the cap recharger and cap rigs in favour of shield extenders, giving you much needed buffer against gankers. so here is the numbers with all crystal set, level 5's.

NON BASTION

1146 DPS (with drones), 7187 volley - out to 30K. (you can swap for cruises, but meh, golem is park and brawl in my book.
175 DPS passive shield regen, cap stable at 76 pc static, 48 percent stable with burner.
583 DPS booster running, cap stable at 48 percent. 11 mins 5 seconds with boost and afterburner.

resists:
81.2 EM. 77.9 therm, 80.8 kin, 81.6 explosive (57/64/44/23 armor resists).

Shield HP: 22,037, armor 8375, hull 9625 - effective EHP 152,962

WITH BASTION

1389 EHP Booster runing cap stable at 48 percent.

resists:
86.6 EM / 84.7 Th / 86.2 kin / 86.9 ex (69.6/74.9/60/45 armor)

effective EHP 213,779

Some thoughts
There is nothing especially expensive on this build:

500m hardeners
79 booster
60 BCS
88m launchers (22m vs 75m a piece for CN's)
25m burner

all told you are looking at maybe 600m - 650m in mods there, which given the upgrade in EHP needing more gank to take down makes you a loss-maker.

DISCLAIMER

I'm not saying this is the BEST WAY TO RUN A GOLEM. OR THE FASTEST. OR THE CHEAPEST.

the goal of this fit was to show how much money was wasted on Rainmans fit, and the fact you can get a more than needed overomni tank with lots of anti-gank buffer for much less money, while still being cap stable permaboosting.

With near 80 percent resists across the board, over 1000 dps even without bastion, i would consider this an absoloute top end shiny build for L4's.

Obviously this is with a couple of billion spent on a crystal set and top whack implants, and all skills at L5 - but you should really have the skills to fly a marauder, and spending the isk on implants is much safer than putting them on your ship.

you'd really only need the bastion boost to clear out heavy dps, after which 585 is more than plenty for most L4 missions. you'd probably want to take a mobile depot and rip the extender off in favour of another painter if you are running torps, or you could fit with cruises, and fit some decent missile implants to compensate for lack of rigs.

No worries, props for you taking such a big loss on the chin without crying. It can be very tempting to get carried away with the bling but SOE hubs are gank central these days, so if you are flying ubershiny then its best to do it in a quiet non mission hub. If you want to run SOE missions you really need to keep bling in check.

Some other thoughts:

Use a fast ship and make a set of insta-warp bookmarks from the gates (each side) and also the station, the longer you are in align the more time they have to scan your fit and organise gank dps.

If you see a gank squad on the gate station (if its the station go for a redock) then hold your cloak and don't panic. Use the timer to think through your order of defence and wait ideally until a bunch of people decloak to add some confusion

Overheat your racks, get your hardeners and suitcase online, set drones to aggressive if you have ECMS and spit them out, start your booster and spam warp on your instawarp bm, if they have a light tackler on you then put your exm drones on him as soon as he goes suspect/red and keep spamming warp.

Make sure you have gank suspects set to red, consider parking your mission bird in a seperate station to your mission agent amd use a fast inty/shuttle to pick up and complete missions with, they are mostly watching the agent station for victims,

Mix it up and dont be predictable. You've probably been watchlisted now for flying gucci kit, weaponise boredom and fly rubbish ships - meta ravens, domis whatever for a while.

At the end of the day, its your choice, but don't be 'that guy' who is a flying atm for gankers, fly effective but cheap and make sure they pass you over for juicyer targets.

Also, the biggest carebear mistake is fitting mission only resists, all damage mods and no buffer - this only works if you go full t2 or meta - the minute you add deadspace gear you need to buffer up and omnitank.

Fyi in case you didn't know, a ganknado does a max of 12k alpha, usually into your weakest EM resist fir a cost of 100m you need to survive up to 30 seconds in 0.5 before concord arrives, so do the math on your lowest resist, but a rough rule of thumb is 100m isk of modules for 10k of hp assuming everything drops - thats why its better to spread the cost of your fit across cheaper modules, since there is less chance of striking it lucky with a pith a 700m job that makes it a good gamble.

First of all, I see nothing wrong with fitting Deadspace / Faction mods. What else are you gonna spend the ISK on ? In case you don't know this, having "Bling" fits decreases the amount of time spent running missions and or Exploration sites.

In fact almost all of my ships are fit with Deadspace / Faction mods, including my Tech 1 Rifter.

Secondly posting Killmails is only allowed in Crime & Punishment Sub-Forum. Seems to me you're actually trolling the player who owned the ship (Kudos to RainMan for staying cool).

Anyway, OP reported.
