Zor drops an implant, sometimes it's a hyperlink worth around 40 mil last time I checked (which was months ago now) |

That's not quite true, we had a big discussion in a thread a while ago where you were making some frankly outrageous claims on the machs behalf. Don't get me wrong, it's still the best way to make money, but with ac's, dps at 60-70 km is about half, and that's with a stationary target... |

No idea, but I would guess at around 1 in 20. Tbh, I've never had it in zazzmatazz, but I've heard it does appear. |

GÇó 1054 m/s velocity, <9 second align and 4.46 AU/s warp speed I don't use my drones that much.. And I don't see how an ECCM adds to your drone DPS.. Unless you're saying the ECCM draws aggro so your drones don't get shot? In which case, that might be a good idea for a rattler or Nestor fit.
Arthur created another thread where he said exactly that, apparently npc's hate that module more than any other... |

Back to the light drones and an eccm module. In most missions I find that drones are ignored anyway, but in the epic arcs, drones seem to get hammered a lot more. Maybe that would be a better testbed for the efficacy of eccm at holding aggro? |

I do use a golem, usually fit with 4 tp's instead of mgc's but depending on mission. It's easy, but it's probably my least favourite of the marauders, and only ahead of mach and rs due to its ewar immunity. |

You all be like crazy and stuff.
Tp bonus on a golem is way strong. Why the hell are you having range issues in a marauder? Sit there and face tank all the things. Usually in tp optimal, if not, mjd or mwd closer. Like with any other marauder.
The bonused tp's provide such a big bonus that it's usually viable to have at least 3 of them. Missile application formula is weighted towards the radius side, only time the velocity is more useful is when shooting frigs. Which drones should be doing.
3 tp's and an mgc, or 2 and 2, is fine although with missions that have ewar immune npc's (Zor, some epic arc bosses) mgc's are you're best option. And I can see the quality of life with not having to reapply painters to every target when going with mgc's, but with the reduced cycle times, it's never actually an issue.
Tldr, the application and aggro holding of tp's is still better.
Golem can spare so many mids for application that rigs are mostly redundant anyway. With tp's, I usually go with a flare and a calefaction just cos nothing else is needed, although astronautic rigs may be worth a shot. |
