I probably wouldn't recommend that fit as a marauder does it better, safer and the fit isn't really working towards the Machs strengths.
You are wrong - mach does it better and this fit uses machs streghts to the max
Factually, no I am not wrong as one of the Machs strengths (A role bonus in fact) is it's increased base warp speed. This means warp speed rigs increase its warp speed by more than what these rigs would increase on another BS hull. Additionally warp speed implants will also have a bigger effect.
Since your time in warp is in fact the majority of time you will spend blitzing lv4s, this has a far greater effect on how good the ship is for lv4s than DPS so it's probably one of the biggest strengths of the hull. Since the ship is using Polarized it (apparently?) needs the cap rigs to keep the repper running or else it dies due to no resists.
Thus the fit does not work towards the Mach's strengths.
It warps faster than a marauder with warp implants, does way more dps what are you talking about? it can beat any ship in mission completion time overall
I agree with you on warp rigs - I think I could swap a rig for a t2 warp rig and see how that goes - never tought of that
The problem with only quoting part of a post :)
While yes, the Mach is better than marauders for running (specifically blitzing) lv4 missions due to a combination of warp speed, MWD speed and range/application with ACs, my point was that marauders are a better platform to use if you want to use Polarized weapons.
The Mach is not as well suited for Polarized weapons as Marauders specifically because of the bling you have to run and the lack of resists amplifying it as a gank magnet and the loss of warp speed rigs (either go all 3 or don't bother).
Basically a marauder will out do a Mach in something like say, Blockade. But then Blockade is not normally on the list of blitzable missions. A blitzing Mach will still make more isk than a ship doing 1500 of the correct type of dps running Blockade. The reason for that is warp speed, mostly. Once you understand that you will understand why PvE Machariels are fit the way they are and flown the way they are. Just up to you if you like that sort fo thing or not.
Besides, it's just as easy tog et over 1500 dps on a vargur as it is on a Mach
