Yes, you should shield tank or armor tank your Machariel. Highly recommended. -- Nah, that's just my Asperger's kickin' in.

Buy several Machariels and do all of the different tank types?

Go for a nice pvp fit. It's fast, does high dps at long range, and points from extreme range.

Shield tank it.
PVP: You fit damage, range, and speed in the lows to become a BC on Mark McGwire level steroids.
PVE: You fit damage and range in the lows and complete missions at blinding speed.
Armor tanking is very viable on the ship as well, and is in no way Fail. But shield tanking allows you to go for max gank or max speed, both of which put this ship's more ridiculous attributes to good use.

I take it you don't fly this fit.
Shield tank it, leaves more lows for gyros and tracking enhancers. You end up with very high dps and falloff. Prop mod mandatory, of course.

I'm a nm and paldin pilot that's been training/flying a mach. fairly decent gun skills and imho.
shields in general > armor for gank missions.
for tanking vrs. sansha/blood(natural res.) I use an armor gank type fit w/3x gyro, 2x or 3x tc.
exact fits will cost xtra. :) --

No, but one of these days I'm gonna grab the modules on SiSi and try it.

I hardly see how that's relevant to a realistic discussion of this ship. Can we discuss realistic fittings here, rather than some asinine dream setup that will never be assembled on tranquility? I'd like to think that the two setups posted above warrant discussion.

I didn't object to them because they were PvP fittings. I objected to them because it was a battleship worth more than a gang of capital ships.
Make fun of missioners all you want, but I'm sure even you aren't dense enough to misunderstand that.

And what's the issue? I guess noone's allowed to voice their aspirations under your rules. If it really grates that much, replace the Estamel's invulns with CN Invulns in your mind and it becomes no more expensive than a very pimped mission Marauder. I thought the fitting was interesting given that it was the highest performing PvP Machariel possible, but boring people like you don't see it's merit. It's like saying in real life; "I wonder what it's like to be an astronaut - if I were an astronaut I'd do etc etc." and being told "YOU HAVE NO REASONABLE CHANCE OF EVER BECOMING AN ASTRONAUT STFU WE WILL NOT DISCUSS THIS!!!!". "What if?" scenarios can actually be quite fun to discuss and I really don't see why you have such a huge downer on them - given I never intended to post that Machariel as a reasonable and affordable setup - but as I said as a demonstration of what I believe to be the highest performing pvp variation of that ship. So let's not start a flamewar over it, OK?

What you're describing is less like wanting to be an astronaut and more like wanting to drive a Maserati through Basra with an American flag waving in the window. If you were dreaming over a PVE fit that would be one thing, but you're suggesting flying a ship that everyone wants a killmail for, and fitting it like a veritable space piħata is something worth dreaming over. 
People yell at these fits because it's guaranteed that you're dead sooner or later in PVP. It's part moral outrage, and part hoping we cure you of such dreams before you lose an incredible amount of isk some day trying.
But as always, you are free to put anything you want on your EFT or Sisi Machariel. Or TQ, if you're rich and silly enough.

PvE: Large burst aerator II, 4 gyros, 3 TE, 7x800mm, a prop mod, and the rest can be filled with whatever you want. PvP got covered already.

Originally by: Von Kapiche PvE: Large burst aerator II, 4 gyros...
So...you're selecting a single T2 weapon rig, consuming 300 calibration, leaving no room left for other rigs... ...for what amounts to a 6.47% damage increase after the stacking penalties from the gyrostabilizers is taken into account?
And this seems a wise decision when weighed against a set of CCC modules, which provide a 58.7% increase in capacitor recharge rate? I find this decision ill-advised.

I'm selecting a rig that gives 61 dps to my fit and leaves space for a resist rig, a cap safeguard rig, or a CDFE, vs rigs that add useless cap? I've never once capped my Mach out.
Hint: largest bonus goes to the top of the stacking penalty. Last gyro is more or less just the damage bonus and still adds 40dps but what else is there to fit usefully. If there was ever a boat that tanked on damage, then this is it.

If this were a Vargur, where you had rig slots and 400 calibration to play with? I would absolutely agree with you. But this isn't a marauder, it's a faction battleship. That means 3 rig slots with only 350 calibration between them.
And when it means the difference between being able to permarun your tank and not...it might well save your ship in a disconnect. For a ship this expensive, I think that's worth losing 61 DPS.
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE gank setups. The Machariel is a fantastic ship for it. But this is pretty steep diminishing returns, even for the Mach.

Well if you really must permarun your tank, sure. I'm happy with 2-3 mins tank life. Generally it seems that fits are assumed not to be permarun unless actually stated. If you're worried about discos or suicides or whatever, I'm not sure why you'd fly something you're that worried about losing in the first place though.

I don't like blowing up the sig with extenders. It's got enough shield HP to field a decent buffer with just Invulns.
