that ^
is it just me or do other ppl see these changes as nerf aswell rather than buffing marauders?
PVP:
No one in low or null will ever use a bastion module, that would make the fleet a sitting duck ready to be sniped. that **** is just terribad for pvp together with the removal of the little armor marauders have. not even starting with the fact of only 2 rig slots compared to navy and pirate BS, which makes the armor/shield removal even more bad.
Marauder 2 rigs, 8k armor... Navy/Pirate 3 rigs, 10k armor. the little better resits will not make up for a missing rig and 2k less armor and the derp price tag.
Also, there is not a single scenario I can imagine a Golem with cruise or Paladin with Beams, sitting there with and activated bastion module. lets face is those weapon systems are dead for pvp... and short range systems with being pinned down and not able to move?... dont see that happening.
Kronos and Vargur perhaps as sniper but lol I'd still use a Tier3, Rokh or Mega fleet any day.
PvE:
And removing the rep bonus and drones makes the ship terribly bad and even less used for PvE. I see no reason not to use a navy or pirate ship.
Golem for example is so terrible cus it fires only 4 missiles with 200% damage each. BUT, mission npc use defender missiles and pop them, wich removes 25% of your volley or even 50% if they pop 2.
That ship badly needs a Missile HP bonus to make it useful for pve. Navy Raven is just so much better...
Paladin.... no idea, but a neut resistance bonus comes to my mind. just cus amarr is so neutery stuff. Not sure if thats actually useful for PvE or pvp, but its a start.
And yeah that useless tractor bonus is totally outdated since the introduction of the noctis.
Not sure waht to say about vargur and kronos. I liked them as they were and have no further ideas yet. |

Am I missing something here? That's really easy. You use the superior range of your cruise missiles to get close to the enemy and web him. It's a win - win situation, he gets close enough to apply damage, you get close enough to use your now uber webs. 
sarcasm FTW :) |

More wormhole sites, lvl 5's, and according to ytterbium it can even tank a vangaurd solo. If the changes come out exactly as proposed, I will definitely be using one.
Maurauders do things Pirate BS can't do and Pirate BS do things marauder can't do. It works out just fine. Not to mention you can solo level 5 missions with them after these changes. Won't need a 4 bil fit either.
Solo lvl5? With the bastion mod online? (Cus without the rep bonus you'll need that) Lowsec?.... uhm ok.....
Now I understand why you losing all your space and catch ;) |

Ever seen a rorqual deply or a dread in siege? Wit the bastion online you wont go anywhere when a hostile is on field considering the undeployment time, the basition to finsish cycle and the mjd spooling up... thats like 3 of 3 things to much |
