Nah, that happens when people with 33 ships _on average_ per killmail think they know something about game mechanics. ---

And yet once again you attack with smug, dismissive, self-righteous remarks… Just know that I definitely won’t be taking any PvE advice from you so please don’t bother… > [@Gerard\_Amatin](#): > > And back on topic: that PvE fit Marauder would’ve likely have died anyway. Tell that to the OP… ---

So it’s my posting style then that bothers you. Sorry about that. You don’t have to be taking any PvE advice from me, but hopefully others may see it as useful, knowing ratters in null sec like myself and the OP tend to pick resistances to match the local rats. ---

> [@Gerard\_Amatin](#): > > I’m not sure if it’s because of my style of posting, or the fact that I have criticized you in the past in other posts, but please know that ‘attacking you’ is not always my intention when I reply to you. Not your style. I read it and I thought your comment was helpful. I don’t fly Marauders myself, but I will remember the bit about DC vs EANM should I find myself in a Marauder some time. ---

If you leave high-sec… and you have no support - you’re gonna die. If you stay in high-sec without a passive EHP fit - you’re gonna die (not always guaranteed to protect you, either). If you leave for Exordium - you’re gonna die (of boredom). Basically - there’s a high probability you’re going to die sooner as opposed to later. ---

o7 1st, You could at least write smth by yourself, not making ppl readinn this Ai slop that has nothing to do with actual game mechs and status, 2nd, - lame fit, srsly 3rd, - please explaing to all of us, what is wrong in using EWAR? I mean, really? Crying about losing some marauder to guys prepared to catch and kill Marauders is just lame. 4th - There’s propably dozens of Paladins and hunderds of others marauders dying every week (if not every day) to gangs in 0.0 and Jspace, so why yours is special? Nothing strange happend, they just used your weakness, another day in EvE. 5th - Curse is not so good. 6th - If you are wealthy enough to do 10/10 in pala and f\*ck around in 2b nightmare on CTA’s, then youre propably wealthy enough to create stand-up alt in jamming ship, or just scout. Adapt and overcome. 7th - If You can’t stand losing some gold club to some random gang, then You should consider this: Stop b\*tching around and play the game, or go to Yellow Zones in Albion online, Have a great sunday You all, Fly safe, Kave Asmundarson o7 ---

Speaking of Marauders, someone should make a Marauders version of this: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/e/d/6/ed67dd4304a200656e3a1ae741a90eb7f2ba4f46.jpeg) 🤔 😏 :ccpguard: ---
