> [@Derath\_Ellecon](#): > > How exactly do these changes make them ungankable? More performance into the ship stats, less need for faction gear. Pure T2 fits are going to out-perform the best of the current faction/officer fits and you can’t profitably gank a T2 fit marauder. It doesn’t make them 100% gank proof, but it sure does make them unappealing targets. ---

And because there are no ganks attempted if it is not profitable it ultimately makes the ship gank proof in highsec safe space. Kudos to CCP! ---

@Geo_Eclipse_Oksaras My reading of this, at the time, was that they increased the duration of Bastion by 30 seconds… from 60 seconds to 90 seconds. I can’t remember the sentence but it was something like “the tradeoff from being the ultimtae weapons platform was less mobility”. Decreasing Bastion time makes the Marauders God mode. ---

Just check zkillboard, tech 2 fit marauders absolutely get ganked even now. With marauders it isn’t about the loot, it is about getting a shiny 1.5 bill ship on your killboard. And the tears of course. After the changes marauders will still absolutely be ganked shiny or not. Though shiny mods will certainly increase the risk. ---

That is a more accurate assessment. > [@Doctor\_s\_Assistant](#): > > And because there are no ganks attempted if it is not profitable it ultimately makes the ship gank proof in highsec safe space. Not really. Gank proof would imply they have a greater defense against ganking. This makes them maybe a less appealing target, but that doesn’t mean gank proof. It just means less likely to be ganked. If they want to pop you, the proposed changes seem to do little in make you less likely to pop. I know it is kind of a nitpick of language but it is a real distinction. ---

Checked prices at Jita on moon materials, sheesh, everything has doubled, I was going to buy all the stuff for 1.45 billion next day 2.8 billion, and every other T-2 ship (caldari class), has doubled. Only Ammar and Winmatar are still pretty good. ---

This is the mineral scarcity which is doing alot of good and hitting fatcats in eve. With upcoming next wave with highsec asteroids only respawn once per month will finally even out the supplies and put real value in ships and items. ---
