Scouts are your friend.

Bastion shouldn't work when it's onlined to balance it

In that case, we should get rid of interdiction nullifiers on strategic cruisers too and make site running strictly a social, or dual-boxed, affair. However, I think that would be bad for the game. Braving null solo to find riches is thrilling, and I think that making a ship designed specifically for that purpose viable could only make the game better.

Would this even be a balance point because you cant warp anyways when bastion is active and you dont get the benefits of bastion without it being online.

A better balance point for your suggestion would be to create a new module tha doesnt have near the bastion strength qualities of bastion, but makes the marauder nullified.

With this said the only thing being nullified does is to allow you to warp out of bubbles. The issue with this is that Marauders, unlike Strat Cruisers, can fit MJDs. So really the only thing your suggestion changes is you get to counter bubbles with a highslot instead of a midslot.

TLDR: Not needed, -1

Second, 16 seconds of spooling up (or whatever it is) and hoping you don't get scrammed is hardly a viable way to move a billion ISK ship.

then what would i scout with.

Hahaha! An interceptor.

First, I meant that you would have to travel fit your Marauder and wouldn't be able to instantly commit to a fight while traveling, or instantly flee if someone enters your site.

Second, 16 seconds of spooling up (or whatever it is) and hoping you don't get scrammed is hardly a viable way to move a billion ISK ship, which is probably why you see strat cruisers running sites rather than marauders better than 9 times out of 10.

If you want to fly in hostile space, without a scout, in a billion isk ship, get a t3. A t3 capable of running 10/10s is going to cost you just as much as a Marauder capable of doing the same site.

If, however, you want to fly smart. Get yourself a scout and you can fly anything you have anywhere you want. I don't even fly my cloaky nullified t3 around lowsec without a scout.

First, what if I don't want to fly a Ten.... cough... T3? Would 4 more viable options break the game in any way, shape or form? Would adding vitality and life to the vast, unoccupied, rarely visited sections of null be such a horrible thing?

Second, I will fly anywhere BUT null in almost any ship, solo, with no scouts. It's a vastly more entertaining way to play. I can certainly get caught, and sometimes do, but I have plenty of defenses, and the chances aren't that great.

Null is generally a wasteland. The mechanics reward extreme isolation and gate camping, which cuts down on economic activity and therefore occupancy and PvP. Despite the vast resources CCP has dumped into null, most of it goes untouched. Fozzie sov will help, but sov mechanics alone will not kick start the null economy. A number of changes need to happen: Empire space needs to be more dependent on null materials, and travel needs to be easier. Inevitably, one way or another, that will mean bubbles getting weaker. Why not start the process now with select, unlikely to be abused, ships? The fact that diving into a C6, with no idea how to get out, is often considered to be much wiser than traveling in null, and that CCP is developing a 4th way to travel through null (player built gates. The other three are normal gates, cynos and wormholes) should tell you something about the health of null travel.

That being said, gate camps are fun to crack or bomb.

If you think nullsec is so bad, stay out. We won't miss you.

If you do want to come into nullsec, then bring whatever you want. We'll just blow it up anyway.

If you don't want to fly a Tengu, then don't. However, don't try to change a working hull into something broken simply because you don't know how to fly it.

Marauders are used predominantly for economic purposes (site running) and reatricting their ability to move only hurts null.

You have a MJD bonus; that is your nullifier.

/Thread

In a Marauder, you have a ton of cargo space.

Carry a mobile depot.
Carry 2 fits, 1 for site and one for travel.

Site fit will be loaded with dps/tank in lows, travel will be warp core stabs/tank..
Done

If you get stuck in a bubble, MJD out and warp. You should likely have 3-4 warp core stabs, so it would take 2-3 scrams, and SEVERAL long points to hold you down.

As long as you got enough buffer to survive, you should be fine... It's not likely that you'll land on a bubble with 50 ships ready to alpha you off the field...

Especially if you warp to 100 and then MJD to directly ontop of the gate.

This game needs less interdiction nullification, not more.
