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

Btw, it was a 3.95 billion ISK Marauder (not 1.5 billion ISK). :pirate_flag:
…

I plugged your fit into Pyfa and you have a grand total of 164k EHP (118k EHP vs. EM). So there’s no possible way you would’ve even survived a gank from 9 catalysts (let alone bombers).

There’s no way to survive Multiboxers, period.
With 4 or 5 Abyssal CN plate at 100% I had 450K EHP,
plus the 1000Hp/S. I am slow at getting small targets,
but then it’s one shot all of them.

WE
NEED
PLATES
BONUS
BACK

That’s why I payed CODE and SAFETY to not gank me in Osmon.
I left them my wrecks, which are 50% of the income of missions.
plus sometime a 100Mil bonus if I got a lucky strike.

This is Honour based defence.
A single stray dog with a multibox account, didn’t know I was on a paycheck, just text me, we want wrecks or whatever to renew the deal for one day or one month (100Mil would be 1 month).

The troll with the Smartbomb idea, if I’d lost the crystal SET,
the TOTAL amt lost, was OVER my WALLET.
It is already OVER 60% of my total earnings.
I showed you I only have 8B left in my account after recouping the Legion.

I have 400k+ EHP on my Marauder. Some of us are doing just fine… If you’re going to “bling” (which is what a Faction bastion module is, btw) - then go for broke. Otherwise, T2 fit everything. You got ganked (mainly) because of the Faction bastion module.

Stay out of 0.5 and 0.6 systems (especially 0.5 systems, which are gank magnets).

So you’re on the forums… because?

If you check the killmail, you can find yourself that his accusations of me ganking his Golem are based on BS he again imagined in his head, I dont even have EVE installed LMAO

Well, I earned that, as I earned the Breach control.
I sold the Breach control, and I wanted to “try the CN bastion”.

I Said the new Bastions will be a liability, bc of their price.
Unnecessary Bling for what it do.
A 5s cycle faction Bastion “could be worth” the investment.
It’d broken, but not because I had not used officer Multispectrum o 1B each. I used T2 Multi. And it was the first time trying the CN computer. I had 1 T2 version and an additional large plate before, taking EHP to 188k EHP.

As I said, a T1 BS has more tank, and is vastly more cost effective.
It’s CCP that decided that Marauders could not have blinged modules, by taking the plate Buff away, and not once, having buffed them against gankers.
We are supposed to try these modules in real life and find out their real value. A 5% rep bonus is joke. A 5s cycle a lifesaver.

There must be the Joker in charge of Fenrir.
And he didn’t like the last time I attacked them when I lost the Legion, because a mission should be fixed, they don’t like to be told any change they make affects every area of the game,
and when someone reach a point of no return, where he’s literally almost alone in saying that Nerfing require Quality and checks, to really equalize the game. That mean work. That means money invested in a position that is not supposed to work to make money for CCP-Fenrir, but it’s a job role supposed to help players have the best experience they can possibly get.
And when an LLM is not capable of over-riding some decisions,
or it may even suggest things that goes against the money printing
mantra that infected all majors since 2020-2025, it can be shut down, or recalibrated.

This is where we are

This is pure greed in all the glory of its display.

You already forgot “someone” told me “you own nothing anyway” and “everything could be taken off you” and you being labeled and
“undesired person”?

This is the prophecies becoming realities.

I smell abuse of powers but I don’t have any back ups to my thoughts.

I can get barely 300k EHP, with C-Type Multi. 2B ship.
She was 600k EHP.
That’s how it should be.
Whoever say otherwise, it’s been devoured by propaganda
and pure greed.
It was never a problem. It solved problems seemingly impossible to tackle.
Without notice, it was taken away.
No debate.
Nothing.
Simply… it was too powerful… too oppressive…
I don’t know how much of a problem it was rather than other
“oppressive” content.

It helped almost (not dissolve perpetually; cenotaph ere behind the corner with their pods tech…) get rid of gankers who should have no business taking on the best BS Ship there is around, even if multiboxing in a 15ppl fleet.

Kronos and Paladin probably van get 400K EHP still,
but they used to get 600kEHP too.

Do yo u have any insider leaks?? No?
Neither do I.
But I remember chatting with the CEO of CCP in a
Incursion mission, and he was a human being,
with it’s narcissist defekts, and hidden perks.
They shipped abroad somewhere, and EVE was never to be the same again.

It’s CCP fault for shipping out overly expansive faction Bastion that just move around a few stats, target paint you bc naturally the Paper Tank of T2 BS is being decided it’s a feature for the glory of few. It do not fix the long cycle, and help in the slightest avoid getting ganked, which magically became problem n.1 again, after being almost being fixed. Nothing to try fix the situation has been proposed. It only worsened the situation, making the game only more pay-to-win then ever.

And Whatever jury or judge was presented with these facts, the outcome should be obvious.
Hide the real numbers, and pretend bankrupcy is just behind the corner, to try slew the judges decision towards your cause.

Marauders need to be gankable, it’s necessary to offset how quickly they can churn through highsec PvE content. Greater profit must be accompanied by greater risk. If you want an ungankable mission runner, consider something with more EHP but that will take somewhat more time to do each mission, such as an Orca or the Avalanche.

You got caught flying an active Marauder,
started shooting tiny frigates with rage torpedos.
No sensor boosters and then you are surprised why it took a while to lock the frigates.

Skill issue, skill issue, skill issue.

Will there ever be a thread by Queotzcatl that does not scream ‘skill issues’?

Why do you not fly a faction battleship?

Clearly it is the better choice for your use-case, with more buffer and the freedom to warp away without being stuck in bastion.

Why do you insist on flying a Marauder and then complain about the downsides of Marauders?

I too have considered flying a Marauder in null, and instead decided to fly other ships that suit my preferences better.

Marauders have some clearly defined strengths and weaknesses. You keep complaining about these weaknesses and seem to prefer ships with high buffer and no bastion to lock your ship down, yet you still fly a Marauder.

Your issues seem self-inflicted.

I’ve seen a 2.2bn ISK Vargur lost to 5 Tornados…right outside Jita station. Those Vargurs for sniping and high alpha don’t have particularly good EHP as so many slots are used to increase scan resolution. I have a frikin Navy Augoror with higher EHP than my Vargur…lol.

But I think it is worse with T3 cruisers. My cheap armour fitted ENI with 4 neutron blasters has more tank and more DPS ( 886 ) than my 5 times more expensive Proteus with 6 neutron blasters ( 745 DPS ). In fact other than the cloak the modules are very similar.

Wow. Just wow, OP.

Others have explained to you how to fit better and how to avoid ganks yet, you refuse to listen. I fly my marauder in Minmatar space just fine using mostly T2 modules and a couple of faction bits. I avoid ganker hot spots like the Lanngisi SOE system. I don’t paint a target on myself by using that silly faction bastion module (just because you have one doesn’t mean you need to fit it).

You can either listen to the advice given and learn from your mistakes or, yell in all caps to FC (who don’t monitor these forums much and will not change their decisions based on your rants in any case) so, I’d advise you to listen for once, learn how to fit and about game mechanics. And if you insist on being stubborn then just give away the ISK you’re wasting to newbies. I’m sure they’ll make far better use of it than you.
