Since everyone has different points of View. What are your thought's about muraders becomeing part of the pvp world.
Don't Want to read cause they Suck. They get all these nice bonuses and make great mission ships. but. Been doing some reaserch on them and can get some pretty nice Tank and Gank. |

ECM drones are a special case anyway, as complined about elsewhere.
Personally, nothing wrong with rocking a marauder in PVP in my opinion. Yes, the sensor strength is pissweak, so you fit an ECCM where possible, and if you don't just blindly rush into Falcon you should be OK. Especially if you aren't humping gates or stations in hisec and can rock a faction smartbomb. 2 cycles, no Hornet EC-300's. Job done.
The highslot layout of Marauders favors fitting neuts and smartbombs, and you still get 8 guns damage. Yes, that means you can eclipse 1700DPS in a Kronos without heat if you ridiculously pimp it. Which you should.
The Kronos is the ick of the litter, in my opinion, simply because of that OMGWTFBBQ web. The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man. Sun Tzu @trinketsfriend on twatter

Have a look around for a couple of videos called Golem in Space...
Here's one of them...
Smallish lowsec groups will minimise the sensor strength disadvantage providing you can get gatefire on your side, the fragility of ECM (drones in particular but it's not easy to fit a Rook or Scorpion to tank gatefire and jam without logistics) reduces their use and therefore the Marauder's vulnerability. |

i know it's not big in alot of peoples books but marauders also have a huge cargo space for cap boosters and ammo. more boosters means surviving longer.

Main argument against PVP in a marauder is their price: for a similar amount, you get a pirate BS which are so much better.

I like your point about the space for Cap booster charges. A Golem with an X-Large Booster and a Cap Booster will have a pretty serious active tank for PvP purposes. And as some of us already know, Marauders already have superior capacitors anyway. Looks like a good strategy.
I wonder whether a Paladin/Kronos/Bhaalgorn and Golem tag team would work well together in a small fleet, TP and Webbing bonus would go pretty well together on 2 battleships that could deal a combined 2500-3000dps. |

i think a bhaalgorn and a golem would make a very sexy team |

the only thing i learnt from that video is that the golem can tank loads of damage but seems lacking in the ability to kill department. enjoyable vid though |

Vargur vs Machariel Paladin vs Bhaalgorn Kronos vs Vindicator
Yea i think we both know what we would choose. (no, missile BSs dont count because they suck in pvp) They just arent good enough in comparison. |

Paladin has the same web bonus.

even with an eccm fitted a paladin is only 1.5 points higher on sensor strength than the racial tier 3 bs without an eccm and the kronos is 2.5 points higher than its.
I do like the Marauders, the paladin being my fave but ccp really should do something about that as they never seem to do anything about the overpowered ecm, be it drones or mods. I mean from a pve perspective, you would be there for ever if you got guristas extraveganza lol Maybe if they had a boost to their strength then people might actually use them more in pvp

Of all the Marauders I would say the Kronos is the best suited for PvP. The webbing bonus, damage bonus, tracking bonus, and the ability to fit a monster active tank work well together. The Vindi is a better pure PvP boat, but the Kronos has utility highs and the rep bonus gives it a monster active tank. Vindi has a better mid/low slot setup and more drone bandwidth, but if you go for a flight of heavies you have no extras.

You do know that if your flying in a fleet youd have logi. plus. other stuff with you right so a falcon or any other ecm ship trys to drop on you your fleet buddies would kill it not to mention. ECM jamming is based on luck more then anything. as soon as drones are popped out while your being jammed full rack of T2 Mediums can kill a falcon pretty easily as ecms ships tank is mostly just ecm, |

The Pally can be a decent long range sniper for small scale PvP. That's about it. Under no circumstance would I feel greta brawling with a Pally but as a long range hard hitting sniper it's ok... |

Yes, it hurts long range. but when all is said and done. I'de rather be in a sniping tachyon/mega beam apoc. Cheaper and won't go ballistic if I lose it compared to a Pally. But to answer the question a sniping pally is a feasible marauder for PvP. For god's sake don't take it into a fleet bs slug fest though. |

well of course you wouldnt use it for a battleship slug fest. I personally love the Shield Apoc for slug fests.

if these ships hasd the same senor strength as a tier 2 bs it would be a bit op. even tho if u fit a vindi up for rep with the right mods if works a hell of alot better the the kronos as it has all the same bonuses. with the rep, dmg and tracking bonus i can see how the can be an issue on the balance front. you would end up with a ship that tanks, ganks and has utility high slots for use in combat. sure neuts will **** it in the ass with no lube, but if spells a ship thats only killed by 1) neuts and 2) over whelming numbers. the **** senor strength is there to counter that makin it more balanced for combat.
however it also makes them useless in combat as they made ships like the mach and vindi at the same price but with better over all use with stronger senor strength and same dmg/better dmg output. i wanted to fly the kronos but its cruiser like sensor strength really put me off for all the training time needed to fly the damn ship. a more reasonable sensor strength would be an 18 or 19 like the pest. u can be jammed but not to the point of "**** this ship" then go and buy a vindi for the same amount of isk u would throw into a kronos.
black ops are more useful and and they are is a taxi service. i hope ccp looks into a buff for these ships as well as changeing around some of the bonuses they get. as they are now, they are for the most part the same ( save for the golem as it uses missles ). |

Going solo, I'd feel rather uncomfortable with a marauder. But as a part of a small gang, I'd say it would be perfect. |
