Thanks CCP for the Buff to all BS and Maruders!!! I was ganked some minutes ago in Osmon, and for the first time since I’m playing Eve, I survived a 21 Catalysts Gank!!! ![survived gank](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/0/2/e/02e64489bf8b1d1a24115aa0853900e5eba9bb2d.jpeg) ---

That’s cause they shouldn’t have used catas 😃 ---

If they’d been using coercers, not sure you could have survived. ---

100% I would have lost another Golem if there were not been the Buffer upgrades to LSE , Armor plates and Bulk plates. I still haven’t made up the isk loss from the last Golem. Sure I could have been killed with a bigger gang, Coercers, or Tornadoes. But I survived and that is only thanks to CCP for making Marauders actually tankier than T1 BS as was the case before the Buff… So yeah… CCP made my day!!! What I say day, YEAR!!! This isn’t a small thing, it means that what they have done is SUPER RELEVANT! ---

I mean I get the feeling of surviving for sure. As soon as I saw the changes, I knew it was also a nerf to ganking. Rather ship choice is more important now. For both ganker and target. ---

I get that you’re happy, but less stuff blowing up is exactly the _opposite_ of what EVE needs right now. ---

Destruction is destruction, some destruction is more significant than others(like when I lost my super, or my vargur, being stupid), but the destruction of ships and equipment, regardless of scale, is reasonably good, as it continues to drive the market. If only big things died, and not smaller things(like the aforementioned Catalysts), 2the market for small things would saturate even more than it already does, and be effectively worthless. ---

That is pretty dumb telling gankers why they failed. Next gank you will be flooding the forum with tears. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/a/d/7/ad7375d358f4be02d930038dd41ab019960df0eb.gif) ---

That is not the point. We Mission runners now have at least a CHANCE to pull up some resistance, before it was paper tank!! It’s only right to celebrate CCP for that!

While I am flattered, it just does make more sense, esp if going after a shield tanked target. ---
