Marauder ganked by 9 players---- no need 100% EHP?

How do you know I’m human?

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!!

:thinking:

What would ‘too late’ mean in this context?

50% EHP is my contribution, proposal, your’s has some form of hallucination.

Get a doctor ASAP, is my contribution.

Put into Hertz perspective, as time is irrelevant.

We are past the Oscillation Optimum by 2 cycles at least.

For those Humans still with a Heartbeat this means two major updates.

Skipped resonance.

No Q factorization, just Quantization.

And Quantity Vs Quality is what I bring here to the table. debate.

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.

I don’t neglect what I do not understand.

I move around it, as it’s a pointless critic.

Science advances one funeral at a time. (cit.)

It was not against you… it was a joke aimed at someone else…:melting_face:

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.

It’s dead, Jim! The ship and the thread as well.

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.

For 5 billion isk I can show him how

Just block this guy and all the issues…and this thread, will go away.

I don’t block, you never know what funny ■■■■ they might spew. :laughing:

I just don’t respond to get the same effect.

So my question is, the Title claims that 9 players is outrageous, how many would be OK? 18? 10? 50?

I suppose any number would be ok for him, if the ship survives it.

Problem is the lack of awareness that gankers scan fittings beforehand and adapt to bring enough firepower to make sure it succeeds.

So countermeasures that focus around that part are generally in vain. More bling gives you more HP and makes you more attractive at the same time. That’s the sole problem. You have to fit as cheap as possible including selecting the hull to get your routine done while not attracting anyone.

Apart from that you have to establish other countermeasures so that they don’t get to you in the first place as already discussed.

Bastion is a trade off - at its most basic level (T1 Bastion module) you get these massive buffs in exchange for becoming a temporarily immobile heavy weapons platform.

  • +50% reduction in weapon cycle time (effectively doubling DPS)
  • +25% large-weapon optimal range
  • +25% large-weapon falloff
  • +25% missile velocity bonus
  • +60% local armor-repairer and shield-booster amount
  • +20% reduction to local repairer/booster cycle time and capacitor cost (which when combined with the 60% rep bonus, is effectively 2x the normal repair rate)
  • +30% bonus to armour, hull and shield resistances against all four damage types
  • +100% sensor strength (making the ship substantially more resistant to EWAR)
  • +7.5% hull specific buff to repairs per Marauder skill level

That’s not a trap, that’s balance.

You seem to want to have your cake and eat it, and then grab everybody else’s cake too. Guess what? You don’t get to demand the benefits of committing to Bastion while simultaneously demanding that the consequences of that commitment be removed - now kindly remove yourself in the direction of off, while simulating the act of fornication.

According to the ZKB you are ‘points’ positive! Lost 6 points but got 8 for killing SB… +2 points. Congratulations :confetti_ball:

In addition I can see that your skill increased! If before Golems were wasted without shooting back, this time you was able to lock one of the aggressors. This is a good sign, now you are not pulling out your hands under the pressure.
