Hi everyone.
So this is my problem. I have trained all my gunnery skills to level 5. *Some are level 4 but will be trained to 5 soon* I am going to be setting up a production line soon, but will be needing sleeper stuff. So I am curious if anyone out there can help me with a good Kronos Fit.
I am hoping to find a good fit for armor tanking (Obviously) Rails since I can fit tech 2's with their respective ammo's. Armor tanking is in the tech 2's. I can put on any armor hardeners and repair units.
And my drone skills are Top Notch. The only thing I can't fly are the Fighters yet. But everything else below. If there is a tech 2 it's mine and all back up skills also.
So anyone able to help me out that would be great. :)
P.S. TRY to keep it civil and informative. If you disagree with someone's post, Don't just say it sucks you suck blah blah. Instead be adult and say something like naw, that won't work because of *Insert what ever the reason* Please and thank you. |

Uhm, no. That's a pretty poor mission fit and would just suck with sleepers.
To the OP - you need to better specify the use (Missions? C2 WH? C3?) of the Marauder and whether or not you plan to solo.
Presuming sleepers, can you risk to lose it? If a small roaming gang sees you on d-scan, you are in for trouble.
For highs, you want 4x 350mm (or 425) rails with faction ammo or better, 1x salvager, 1x tractor, 1x core probe launcher
The rest will depend upon what class WH. |

For WH use IMO the Kronos is for fleet useage - either remote repping with other marauders or similiar ships and/or logistics backed.
For solo type useage if you want to use a marauder in a wormhole you want the vargur really for sites. |

Uhm, no. That's a pretty poor mission fit and would just suck with sleepers. It is over-tanked, too many slots wasted on cap recharge and has too few tracking/DPS mods. The range of the blasters also becomes a big problem. To the OP - you need to better specify the use (Missions? C2 WH? C3?) of the Marauder and whether or not you plan to solo.

Since when are sleepers considered 'missions'? You are assuming sleepers but the OP hasn't specified that.
The previous post is variation on a theme. You need a tank and a faction armour rep is very nice but very expensive (much like tech 2 rigs). 2 x tech 2 armour reps which is cap stable will see you through most missions if the new npc api allows it. The addition of tracking mods or damage mods would change depending on what you mission you are doing and where your skill levels are at. But for a basic mission fit my fit is a good basis to start from. |

Personally I would not recommend a blaster Kronos except for very specific tasks - particularly an AB/Blaster Kronos; it takes long enough to get from target to target with an MWD.
In terms of the missions for which it was recommended that fit wastes far too many slots on cap and is seriously lacking in damage, stick a cap booster on there and load up on damage and a second web.
I have almost no experience with WH sites so I cannot add much, but definitely put a probe launcher on there |

I'm no expert with marauders, but it's worth noting that it will be great target in w-space. C1 and C2 can be done (AFAIK) in properly fit BC, soloing C3 can be tricky, but it can be done (save for certain sites maybe) in HAC. Though Gallente medium ships can be in trouble with PvE activity due to problems associated with medium guns (blasters have range issues, medium rails are overall meh). |

- two LARs
- that are bonused
- that are permarun.
You don't need even one those to get a satisfactory mission tank.
You have no tracking mods, and no damage mods. Which are the mods that you absolutely want more of, since those are the mods that kill the NPCs, which help you make money, which is usually what people are trying to do when running missions.
Your fit is not a good baseline. I'm sorry, but it's a good example of how not to fit a mission boat. |

OP hinted sleepers but did not specify. At that, your mission fit is poor for the reasons I mentioned and Kastura more completely articulated. |

So ... with all that crap out of the way, anyone have a good response for the op? or let me help you all out.
What is a good kronos fitting for fighting sleepers? -with the fitting can you specify C1, C2, c3 etc? -fleet/solo? -and defend your fitting somewhat.
If you are not posting a sleepers fit, but are posting a mission fit. tell us why you have made the fitting choices you did.
Make sure you are responding to a fitting that fits into the category you are responding about. Sleeper fittings will be different then mission fits. if its a bad sleeper fitting then say why its a bad sleeper fit, not that its a bad mission fit. Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

Sleepers nuet pretty hard, if it's more than a C3 I don't think it's be wise to use anything that depended on it's own cap recharge to live.
IIRC we found a kronos and thanny doing sites in a c4, it did not end well for him. |

Hopefully from that you have enough ideas from above to form your own fit Zsahman. Usual argumentative tosh that becomes of Ships and Modules forums.
The main point that I would make from this, is that fits change to the situation you are in. If something doesn't work for you change it. If you find you need more tracking, fit tracking mods. But whether you need such mods as standard is neither here nor there it wholy depends on the situation you are in at the time.

Wow, thanks everyone for the information, and yes I plan on using it for wormholes, but was never aware that L4 missions were doable in those, i am interested in ALL use of the kronos. I am planning on having a small gang for Wormholes, so most likely have some kind of spider action going. But basically any and all kinds of fits, thanks once again with all the help. Cheers. Merry xmas and happy new years. |

even with a passive shield tank it still has the problem of cap dependent guns. you really would be better off with a drake and coming back in a noctis to salvage, or if you absolutely had to go with something expensive you could try a nighthawk or rattlesnake and sentries. just be ready to scoop drones at the first sign of losing agro |

Hey thanks for the quick reply. Ok, are you talking about level 5 or WH? And mind dropping a fit or two for those mentioned? Since i have just focused on gallente ships. And all i know are gal related skills. Armor, gunery, drones, ect. So a fit or two will give me an idea of what skills ill need to get going. |
