I notice that most Marauders tend to be alone. If you are dying alone, the problem is not your ship, but rather your lack of basic social skills.

No one said it’s no good.
They said that the buff Marauders have been given hurts the Paladin the most, whereas 2 other marauders have ZERO downsides from the buff and the other got buffed to compensate.
It’s really not difficult to understand.
It still works and isnt just pishing money away?
I will back that up.
Im constantly alone.
No, when it comes to Marauders since we are talking missions the problem is the CCP designed mission & gank structure. Where running with friends actually harms payout, and has minimal impact on ganks since they happen so fast.
Which you well know, you just love to play the victim blaming game.

The Paladin is not doing that much worse… If I copy the same type of fitting over to my Kronos I get cap for 5 Minutes with it and with the Paladin I get slightly over 4 Minutes… Seems to be a perfectly normal ratio when you compare amarr ships to gallente ships.
And in both cases the only module I use for capacitor is a large cap battery.
Being able to run everything for that amount of time with just 1 slot sacrificed for cap is perfectly fine.
Nerf and complain buff and complain, I guess it is impossible to make a scared person happy and keep risk/reward on par at the same time.
It’s good use it, stop complaining that it is not safe, eve is not safe if you want safe go play farmville.

True, however context is important. The whole reason ganking came up in this thread is that the OP contends the changes make the marauders more of a gank target. So far I haven’t seen anything in the potential balance changes that make them any more of a target than they are now.

Initially there was, with the increase on the Bastion timer making it far easier to catch them inside a mission.
That has since been walked back, though CCP really should just remove the immobility aspect of it, that was only required prior to the Ewar resistance rework, where it was every type of Ewar/tackle immune or nothing, now Bastion doesn’t block points & webs, so it could be allowed to move on grid & even MJD while still locked out of warping, this would allow them to actually Maraud rather than siege.

That’s selling faction ammo for the LP to buy orders.
I cant see how it has a disadvantage against any of the other 3 marauders. I fly all 4. It only got into armor a couple times.
I don’t know how much more buff the Pally could possibly be without being Dreadnaught class. It’s 1981 Schwarzenegger level buff.

You miss the fact that you not get only these missions all the time.
Also they include loot in that which includes RNG drops and significant time to salvage.
If you pull RNG loot out of that list those numbers look much slower.
You miss the fact if you are not bad at PVE you could manage to have always this kind of mission.
If you want more information on how to do it, you have a lot of tutorial who explain you how to use cluster with a lot of L4 agent ti have possibility to deny some bad mission.

There’s a loot window for each mission and it only changes when CCP makes changes or the market changes. Sometimes the loot window is very large because there is a possible good drop. But I doint list the possible numbers, I listed the actual numbers. yes it changes. Yes I included the time to salvage in the calculation. The only thing not accounted for in the formula is the time to sell. I sell to buy orders and I’ve already adjusted the price of the LP accordingly. You can sell near infinite LP in an hour from anywhere in hisec.
I like how people jump in and say “he’s not really making that much money”. Not sure why people give a hoot about that. The mission completion times are whats relevant.
If you’re flying a Marauder and don’t know what a gank tank is why are we talking? If you do know why are you mad?
Are you back , or have I just not seen you around.
And to keep inline with this post , everyone I have seen seems happy with the buff to these ships, maybe it’s your anti-ganking precautions that need to change .
As expected.
Looking at those loot numbers, seems like a T4 filament is slightly advantaged. All things being equal, I’m not sure the price / performance is worth it.
I’d luv to see the force required to gank my Marauder.
Then I’d luv to see their faces when they open the wreck or see the killmail.
