So, I know I’m going to get a lot of flack, but here goes…
Suggestion of a low slot Assault Damage Control Module for Marauders, used for 10-30 seconds, once per hour.
Reasons for below. ISK Ratio.
Kronos | Adrian Adell | Killmail | zKillboard
Paladin | Elijah Boondock | Killmail | zKillboard
Golem | Orion Tzu | Killmail | zKillboard
Vargur | Kasata Kashi Onzo | Killmail | zKillboard
Might do well as a battleship in general mod. (Nestor thought) making moving/traveling/exploring safer if you fit it.
Second module suggestion if you don’t like the first, A high slot Anti-ship scanning Module. Like blockade runners have.
Okay rip me apart for suggesting anything. Yes, i know they have Bastion… Yes, I’m a High Sec Care bear trying to stop Ganking. Sorry, Gankers, I know its ruff.
PS, As an industrialist, thanks for the Kills, driving the market.
I do not think this is a good idea.
Assault damage control is a tool that is meant to greatly improve fleet capabilities of the ship with massive temporary defences against focus fire.
The role of a Marauder is the opposite of that: Marauders are the strongest independent subcapital ships, a role that is mechanically enforced by disallowing incoming support while bastion is active.
In other words, CCP does not want Marauder fleets to be a thing.
Yet still people were using Marauder’s oppressive damage in fleets by using buffer fits that could survive long enough under focus fire until Bastion turned off and the battleship could catch remote repairs.
This was problematic, so CCP nerfed Marauders by taking away the battleship armor plate and shield extender bonuses to again force Marauders out of the fleet role.
And here you suggest introducing a module for Marauders that allows the ship to temporary survive all incoming damage in fleet combat, which can be used until their bastion turns off and they can catch remote repairs?
It’s the opposite of what Marauders should get.
Bad idea.
P.S.: Damage control has diminishing returns with Bastion resistances.
The last kill you posted does not even look like a gank Vargur | Kasata Kashi Onzo | Killmail | zKillboard (it has a vargur shooting at the other vargur?), why are you so salty and mad?
Truth is i couldn’t find one recent, and was tired. Vargur just must not get ganked as much. (no fact backing this up, opinion)
Really not mad. I was more surprised by my own Ganking. Happened so fast, they were good. Really nothing you can do other then place empty ships in a bowhead. And move modules separately. two trips. I feel an Orca is better/safer moving gate to gate then a marauder.
PS: Replaced already.
