EVE is meant to be FUN. Marauders had been BUFFED bc they were easy gankers kills, and WE, the players, the 99.999%. Not the random Vargur PVP enthusiast that shows off its MASTERY and dominates Zkill boards, that makes up for the 0.0001% of the totality of EVE enjoyers; would like to express our DISSENT into the minority speech, that turned around what has been a FUN page in EVE, after YEARS of fighting to have T2 BS, actually tank-worthy the PRICE, and finally, obtaining the most beloved EQUALIZER (please don’t call it BUFF…) making Marauders Tank BETTER, than T1 BS. It’s time WE, the 99.9999% of playerbase, start fighting back against these whiners that made previous EVE owners thin k was OK for the EVE ecosystem, to roll back Marauders to square one. Faction Bastion modules only made things worst from OUR perspective, bc WE CAN NOT PRINT INFINITE AMT of ISKS, so the base price goes UP, and the FUN when one WILL GET GANKED will go down the DRAIN, and so EVE Ecosystem. Let’s program a bot that will leverage the POWER of multi-whiners, which can’t tell ONE SIMPLE REASON WHY Marauders need to get Nerfed. It’s OMEGA time. We PAY to play it. A single multi-boxer Alpha ganker can take you down like piece of cake and suddenly Marauders are too powerful??? And the same ganker unleash multi-box accounts to make up for the argument!! It’s time to deliver the truth oh boys it’s about time.

CCP stated that the nerf was because of Omega multiboxers were using marauders to great affect. Too powerful. So single players lose strong ships to Alfa multiboxers because they don’t want Omega multiboxers being too strong. ---

It’s hard to see how it could not, and you are wrong in this case, this just makes it easy for fleets with multiple pilots, they could all be flown by a committee of three people each, it’s just easier to persuade yourself to play three accounts than find eight mates to help you. ---

> [@Queotzcatl](#): > > It’s time to deliver the truth oh boys it’s about time. Boy, oh boy! Whenever I see 3–5 billion ISK Marauder fits roaming around high-sec — or showing up on zKillboard — I can’t help but wonder what those pilots are thinking. Personally, I see no reason to push a Marauder fit much beyond 2 billion ISK, even if you’re chasing maximum DPS through expensive high-slot and low-slot upgrades. I know the guy from that videoblog. He’s done a lot of good work for the EVE community. I occasionally use some of his fits myself, especially during events or when a new ship is introduced and I don’t have the time to develop my own setup from scratch. Many of his fits work well, but they often have a hidden weak spot somewhere. Sometimes I jokingly wonder whether he’s sponsored by Safety or Novus Ordo. His Golem analysis and fitting philosophy in that video are solid. He approaches ship fitting like an experienced painter creating a picture. That said, I still think the final Golem fit has some issues. It carries too much tank for high-sec PvE while simultaneously having too little tank to be truly comfortable against gankers. Ironically, many people tell me that my own fits are overly tanky for no reason. BTW, the ability to use T2 ammunition in faction launchers and weapons has been around since the first Triglavian expansion. ---

Also, WE want a unique disruption weapon system, HYBRID, that can affect both Missiles AND guns. Afterall, if you skilled enough AND willing to PAY the PREMIUM price for these HYBRIDS modules, WHO ARE WE to try and steer progressive thinking away from those attempting to take down a SOLO Marauder??? ---

FUN is when 99.999% of players come back and engage in FC’s missions, go fleet Mining, with FAIR SHARES, and occasional backstabbing I guess it falls unto that category, unless it’s not YOU that one on the receiving END… ---

I have a CNR Navy Issue with Faction Cruisers, with high EHP, 500M/s Shield rep. It’s intended to fly as an ALPHA with no access to T2 Launchers. I either can’t figure out any reason beyond fitting issues for faction modules on a Marauder, which is OMEGA only. I was MORE worried about its use of faction CN Navy Bastion module, that would shoot up the base price IMMEDIATELY beyond 3B… that is very concerning to me… bc the ship is still Paper tank, and if something should happen to your cap… bye bye… [Next page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/bring-back-the-marauders-100-plates-bonuses-fun-or-dust/512435.md?page=2)
