CCP has already stated that existing bs class missile bonuses will not effect rhmls, and no be would be getting a bonus to rhmls.
My assumption here is that they're balanced with damage high enough to make a difference without bonuses. However, we won't be getting bs class dps out of them, and I'm wondering about range, cause without range bonuses, they'll be fairly useless.... |

We're still getting damage and rate-of-fire, are we not? (just not explosion radius, explosion velocity or missile velocity) Range is actually fairly surprising. 65km base and almost 100km if you run hydraulic rigs. They're gonna be cruiser tack drivers.

Ok.. So, I just got finished running angel extravaganza.
I was using a cruise Golem with 1015 dps out to max target range (including CM-605 and RL-1005).
It took me within 1 minute of an hour to clear every room, including the bonus room. That was from undock to dock, and the mission was 1 jump away. I never had to warp out. I was using my pith x-type XL booster, pulsing as needed, 2 x T2 invulns, and a t1 em rig.
That's probably the fastest I've ever been able to clear that mission, and the least amount of tanking issues.
In the bonus room, I was starting to get a little freaked, cause I was running out of cap. However, I remembered I had MJD, so I finished up bastion cycle, MJD'd out, and my cap started building right back up.
1 hr is a pretty good clear time for angel's extravaganza..... Do that without having to warp out in a navy or pirate. I don't know a single ship that wouldn't have problems with the bonus room, and bastion Golem took it like a champ without even using cap boosters. |

HAML tengu with 2x t2 invuls and em hard(not even exp) that has about 300 angel tank does ganza about 30-35 min with bonus room. no problem at all. most dangerous thing is 4 tacklers there. so means , u doing something wrong
but back to subj. without bonus RHML will be useless on golem. Bugs are opportunities to cause unprecedented amounts of destruction. --Zorgn

i have been using an mjd cruise/sentry Armageddon to do it at around 55 min

I don't understand what all the fuss is about.
The fact of the matter is a marauder outside of bastion is nearly identical the the current marauder setup, with an added bonus to tracking (in the case of the Kronos). Some of them are getting a small reduction in total HP, but most of them are getting more HP. A tiny reduction in capacitor or capacitor recharge is barely noticeable, and lowered max velocity doesn't mean ****.
Marauders were designed from the get go to be long range gunships. I understand that the Vargur originally couldn't fit a full rack of Artillary but now it can.
Simply put, if you fly the ship the way it was intended to be flown, the changes to the base hulls with the use of bastion are nothing but positive. A bonus to tank, a bonus to range, immunity to those pesky Serpentis damps and Angel jams? Tell me how this is a bad thing. |

It has immunity to ewar(which is a huge ***** if you are in guri/serp space) and 100% bonus to tank so you can fit for more dps/tracking/range. I don't get how you can ***** and moan about anything at all.
I ran the ships on SiSi and they definitely made PvE bearable. The highest tick I got was 14mil while I was in a Golem doing a Serp Assault.
You guys whine all you want but I hope CCP ignores you and lets me run my Vargur/Kronos/Golem with awesome bonuses and crappy animations.
CCP, when you do find time, please revamp the animations. |

I've run that in about 45 in a CNR. Virtually same tank fit as my Golem, with an extra SBA and swap out the med booster for a Gist-X x-large to make up for the lack of the shield boost bonus (have to drop the ab for the booster, but not bad mission without it).

It would be nice to know if High Energy Physics IV is the skill to train for Bastion, as for fuel, I don't think they will implement that for the Bastion module.

Except of the speed nerf, drone band wide nerf and the removal of the web bonuses. You guys wouldn't even have the drone bay and partial speed fixes on the hulls without the feedback of the people that actually fly marauders. And they are still overall worse compared to the current marauders, for people that actually use them without overtaking them or for Incs/WH, when you relay on RR.
Yelizaveta wrote:Marauders were designed from the get go to be long range gunships. I understand that the Vargur originally couldn't fit a full rack of Artillary but now it can.
Btw the golem was designed around torpedoes, the only reason people fit CMs on it is because apparently torpedoes are fine, even if you use another weapon system on a dedicated torpedo platform. Would you be so kind to quote me a dev that stated they are build around long range? Because I was actually there when they introduced them so many years ago and can't remember it.

Strange, because I fly marauders since years and hate the changes, because they completely ignore the real problems of marauders(speed, range, application on the top golem, rail/sentry Kronos dps and a useful niche for the Vargur) in favour of a active tank that only people need that consistently ignore all the mechanics of the content(with a hand full of exceptions).
I would have preferred to see the new concept as a new ship class, instead changing a existent one or at least giving marauder pilots the opportunity to still fly the ship they used since years instead being forced to switch hulls, if they don't have real use for bastion and mjd.
Btw Angels don't jam they paint. |

There are still two major problems:
1. Vargur suck on AC's in sniping role (well new marauders are designed to have long ranges on short range weapons), and don't get me started with those arty fits lol go ahead fit it that way and be a lot less efficient. And it lacks one med slot or something, even golem can easily fit dual prop
2. Torps on Golem, no one will use them for time/isk effi when we have cruise missiles (someone here noted it's strange that torps have worse stats in aspects of damage applicaton, and smaller clip size compared to long range weapons) |

I'm not sure you should necessarily snipe with ACs, but the range increase in Bastion is kind of silly on the Vargur. You get a little bit of extra optimal and loads of extra falloff which doesn't really translate well into any kind of improved damage application. It would be better if the Vargur had a bit more optimal bonus and a bit less falloff.
It would also be lovely if the Bastion module also gave a Golem w/ T1 torps more than ~10km of range. I still feel that Bastioned T1 torps reaching out to ~45 or 50km with both range skills at 5 isn't unreasonable.
However, it appears that CCP feels the Vargur and the Golem are just fine because the Kronos gets amazing range with Null. |

Can we talk about shield-tanked armor marauders?
Okay, I got bored. But I took the bastion paladin and stuck an XLASB tank on it. It can take 2100dps on one booster whilst pumping out 1100dps in return up to 40km. Not sure if this is cause for concern or not. Save the Domi model! Spacewhales should be preserved. |

An hour is not a good clear time. 40 - 50 mins on a vargur. Vargur is currently able to tank AE bonus room w/o bastion or cap boosters on a short range setup. I don't use prop for AE, tank is 2 gist A-type explosive hardeners, 1 gist A-type kin hardener, gist x-type large sb. Total cost of that tank is just under 500mil and very easy to make stable if you like that sort of thing. Make sure to kill the cruise launchers first btw.

Uhh, probably not. There's no way in hell that you're full clearing in 30-35 min with a ham tengu. Also, the tengu is soon to probably get beaten into the ground with the nerf bat. |

Isn't that exactly what we should be getting out of a pve focused ship that take forever to train and cost as much as a capital?
I mean, they're supposed to be top teir pve. They should be able to clear lvl 4's with no issues because they should be focused towards more difficult pve. |
