There is little reason to have any type of prop mod on a Golem or Rattlesnake, you can slow boat to the gate while killing and bastion when you get to gate. I have never taken over 10 to 15 minutes for a L4. Everything is about technique.

And I agree ASBs and cap boosters are for PvP, not PvE. And Golem doesn't need a stable tank. I get 8mins, that's more then good enough. Use a med or a large shield booster and you are good to go. As the golem has more then enough PG and CPU I don't see any reason to not use a large shield booster instead of a medium one, as it doesn't effect DPS or the effectiveness of the ship in anyway. Also there is NO such thing as over powered or over tanked, just made up words for people who have little else to do then talk tough through a computer haha. The idea is to make the best tank and have the best DPS you can. I did take one invul off for a third TP, but that was more because I wanted to do the predator 3 dot thing then any other reason haha.

Why would I do that? Just fly for the correct corporation and you will not face angels. Minamtar tank is not same as angels. Some of their battleships have their hole exaclty in EM!!!!

Also .. almost no one flies against empires. Most peopel just refuse those missions sicne they will lock you out of a sector very fast.

Ok, let's completely ignore that some of the more valuable missions are infact against enemies like Angels and Minmatar (which have some BS's with thick EM-tanks) - How does this affect my point? Paladin suckz ballz against Angels and against some of the matari BS. Calling this "most efficient" is a little - well, it's not accurate.

Paladin is a good ship - no doubt, but it has it's weaknesses. Imho, the Golem doesn't suffer from those - that's why I would say it's easily the best marauder (thanks to it's versatility - it doesn't have these "Oh man, why does it take half an hour to grind through that BS"-moments).

let me be clear again.. I NEVER get ANY missions agaisnt angels. Because i Live in amarr space!!! Goem takes that tiem back while killing frigates that paladin insta pop.

Hm. Just to throw it out: most L4 agents -- even those in Amarr space -- hand out AE. There are individual agents who don't, but I've yet to have seen an entire corporation without it. It's also a pretty decent mission to run if you can rush it like crazy so it's not entirely unreasonable to plan to occasionally have to deal with it.

That said, I've run it in a Nightmare and... yeah, tachs work. It's not ideal but it does work.

CCP fix my damn Golem. Kronos looks unreal in and out of bastion, works great too, Paladin looks great in and out of bastion, works great too, Vargur best looking marauder there is and looks cool as hell in bastions too, works good too? Golem looks like ****, bastion doesn't go with it like the others, does work great though. FIX!

why would ccp take advice from someone who thinks vagur is best loooking marauder?
