As I'm sure you all know, POSs are a PITA to kill in low class wormholes, because you can't use dreads and people dickstar them with ewar and such.
However Rubicon added ewar immune subcapitals. Of course they can get dropped but the same applies to POS bashing in high class wormholes with dreads.
How feasible would it be to POS bash in low class wormholes with Marauders? Has anyone tried this yet? Any fits to recommend?
Perhaps this is a weapon wormhole PvP alliances can use to extort money from low class carebear corps. |

Wow, welcome to last patch I guess.
Yes they can be used for POSes, just not C1's due to mass restrictions. But why are we invading lower class wormholes again? |

There's no POS guns on their killmails.
Anyways of course Marauders can be dropped while bashing stuff just like dreads can. |

And of course you folks value fights much more than money, so there's no reason to travel to low class wormholes and propose such a deal. |

Traditionally the POS dies first, modules later, unless you're merely disabling them. While the tower is anchored modules have a structure resist of something like 99%, but melt like butter once the tower is gone.
Personally I doubt they'll see great use in bashes. Too big for C1, T1 BS would do fine in mid-class holes (for much less financial risk) and capitals for the big stuff. Major (Ret.) Caldary Naval Militia | Morale Officer (Pinup model) H4WK. CEO | Just another innocent explorer-á pâä

You have to have logi and you get jammed non stop and it's a miserable experience.
Whereas a Paladin could bash a pos "hands free" so to speak. |

Large pos guns can murder marauders if the pos has a defender. That 0m/s gives perfect tracking for 1 min. |

Function beats form in this case. It's cheaper to say to 50 guys "Hey, lets ship up and siege this POS for the next 3 hours" than get 5 marauders and siege for 3 hours anyway. This is as nice as I get. |

Pretty much this.
It is much easier to have all your dudes with a 200m ship on hand, than find a few kindred souls with more sp and isk than sense to kill a pos.
Then again most people don't bash for fun. |

a few energy neutralizer batteries and some large autocannons or large artillery should pretty much wipe out any marauder that dares to enter bastion in a single cycle. "CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"
Never forget. |

Dual rep, cap boosters, and a micro. Can you hear them? They are calling to us. It is beautiful. http://thegreattichim.wordpress.com/ |

If the POS is nto manned, the marauders can ignore any defenses. We do it when we nee dto kill ECM boring stars in High Sec. As long as you know the enemy timezone, it is a good alternative. jSUt drop a few golems and drop a jet can or 2 of cap boosters and you can at least safely cripple their ECM modules to come back alter and with time finish the pOS with more conventional weapons.

Scram battery to stop the micro, kill it on the booster reload |
