have you considered the mods have not intervened, because the pushback you are getting is valid and reasonable? the entire reason you started every single thread is on the basis that if you had that role bonus you wouldnt have been ganked, which is categorically untrue because
1: gankers are not idiots and know your fit and its ehp ahead of time, and will scale the amonut of ships in the gank up or down to suit
2: your fit was atrocious and wouldnt have survived even if the above wasnt true and the role bonus was still intact, because you had t2 hardeners, a single LSE, and a shield booster that is designed for frigates, not a battleship
I need recovery time. I know when to stop before it’s too late.
I cannot endure another blow like the last one. I tried very hard to not get my head over the ridge and look down but the whole ridge collapsed. So… if I fall there’s no canopy to save me…
And I’m getting annoyed waiting for rescue… which isn’t coming and I AINT NO RABBIT, so go get your lucky charm from a MOOSE or something!!
Yea, and that contribution is a bit like that filthy toilet in a deserted building, like in Jonah’s picture.
You neglect game balance and only ask for things that benefit you at the cost of good game balance, just because you lost a ship. That’s not a very helpful or good contribution, so that image was fitting.
That contribution is of questionable value, just like the contents of the toilet pictured in the image I posted, summing up your 80+ posts of incessant whining and tinfoil haberdashery. As the old adage goes: A picture says a thousand words.
A marauder, just like every other ship in Eve, is meant to be vulnerable when attacked by multiple players. Despite your apparent belief otherwise, it is not meant to be an invulnerable WTFBBQPWN platform. Even a decently fitted marauder is subject to that. Yours was not a decent fit, because you left a gaping EM hole in your shields for those Mjolner torps to exploit, sacrificing tank for gank. Yes, a 66%ish resist against EM on a stationary target with a signature radius the size of Alaska and no native EM shield resistance, is still a hole, one that could have been patched by losing one of the mid slot damage mods and replacing it with an active or passive EM specific shield module.
On your second point about me getting a doctor? No thanks, already have 3 - a general practitioner, a rheumatology consultant and a neurophysiology consultant, I don’t need another. You on the other hand, might want to follow your own advice.
I fought for YEARS to get Marauders an appropriate tank buff.
Bc every other day every other ship in the game was being buffed and Marauder got just that wonderful 60 sec. trap that got called “bastion”.
Finally it was fixed. Everybody happy. But soon GREED exploded.
Now you could gank a 600k EHP freighter but a 600k EHP Marauder was blasphemy.
I fought this battle for years for an IDEAL, balanced, able to defend itself from 10+ 1000DPS gankers but you want me to give up the fight?
Under which power exactly?
Maybe Marauders will change in the future. Again. New short pulse Bastions with just defence-skirmish purposes? With a different name, or a Marauder only new weapon system like the Stormbringer auto-defence system instead of defence missiles, which can not be fitted anyway, unless they are changed so they do not need a missile slot.
Someone has to talk about it, and maybe balance can be achieved again.
Subjective posts like yours are natural. I don’t puke just for disgust. Just you know I can use a shovel and dig a hole in a forest and cycle with Nature. Metaphorically, ofc.
The sooner you accept it, the better. You can easily use a much cheaper ship for the same stuff you did and make yourself less attractive for ganking as was told in this thread. Or find other ways to avoid ganks in the future by carefully selecting a low populated region and monitor your surroundings better.
Or do something completely different to make isk in EVE. Many of the spacerich people don’t even shoot at stuff to get rich.
