I'm getting bored of EVE , I feel like i just log in to manage PI's and add to my skill queue, noone ever wants to pvp in my corp since we'd just get killed and I feel like nothing i can do at the moment is interesting and to do interesting things i need a better ship. but grinding for ages to get a nice ship isnt fun. :/

[scout1]

no shit you'll get killed, it's pvp

Man up and lose some rifters

Figures you'd pick the absolute worst marauder out of the bunch :v:

I'm not trying to be mean, mind you, it really is the worst one. It has the lowest dps by far (and that's the whole point of a marauder). The Golem is the best, and the Paladin and Vargur are decent (I prefer the Machariel and Nightmare to either of them), while the Kronos really should be ignored.

[scout1]

No comment on rails?

It really is fine for me. Having had moved all my skill focus towards caldari ships i figured i should throw my character a bone with getting a gallente ship, as im gallente. I still use my navy scorp for everything though, i fucking love it.

[sanitarium.]

[QUOTE=scout1;32013209]No comment on rails?[/QUOTE]

That sort of goes without saying, rails as they are, are the worst weapon system in the game. That's what makes the Kronos the worst of the marauders. I suppose you could blaster fit it, but then you need to incorporate a MWD into the fit and marauders are extremely tight on powergrid and cpu.

Again I want to reiterate I'm not intending to be mean, but the Navy Scorp is horrible. Try the Navy Raven, it's [i]much[/i] better. It gets 100 more dps, has a larger drone bay, and fits more than enough tank for every L4. Hell, even the Rattlesnake is better than the Navy Scorp. Unless you're really struggling to tank missions and need all those mids for your tank, you should be in a higher dps ship (and no the Kronos is not a good replacement).

EVE Gate (The availability of these new features will be announced soon)

[B]New official EVE Forums[/B]
A new server environment is being deployed to host the new forums.
A new player forum will be added to EVE Gate and will replace the old forum on eveonline.com. It will include the same forum functionality previously enjoyed by the community, along with additional features:
Simple and advanced search options.
An option to choose between normal or compact view for the threads.
Ability to “Like” posts and see number of Likes per post.
Each thread has an option to "Tag as Favorite"; this will add it to your Favorites page so you can easily find it again and quickly spot any new activity in the thread.
A quick reply function that allows you to post a reply to a thread without loading a reply page with full formatting options.
A character dropdown list full of handy options, such as sending EVE Mail or going to their EVE Gate profile via one click, or the number of Likes the user has received in total on the forums.
RSS feeds for threads and search criteria.
DEV, GM, CSM, ISD and External Partner characters have a colored badge overlay on their avatar. Additionally DEV and GM badges have been added on EVE Gate profiles.
Forum Settings will now be located on your EVE Gate profile settings page, retaining the usual functionality of toggling corporation/alliance information.
The old forums will be cast out into space to be frozen in time and remain fully viewable, but in a read-only mode. Threads and posts from the old forums will not be included in the new forums.
Activity Notifications
The Activity Notifications function lets you know when you have interesting activity happening on EVE Gate and EVE Forums. The alerts appear in the notification icons found in your EVE Gate header; as real time popups, and for those moments you are busy looking at another site - you can see the number of new activity in your EVE Gate or Forum browser tab.
The Mail Icon notifies you when you have new unread mail. Clicking it will take you straight to your EVE mail.
The Notification Flag shows you how many new activities you have on EVE Gate and the forums. Clicking the flag gives you a dropdown listing your new activities and takes you straight to them. At the bottom of the notification dropdown list you find a link to your Activity Notification page where all notifications are listed by date.
Players will be notified of the following activities in real time:
When somebody posts on your wall.
When somebody comments on your wall post.
When somebody comments on a post other character has made on your wall.
When somebody posts a reply to a forum thread you subscribe to.
When somebody likes your post on the forums.
When you receive an event invitation.
When you receive new EVE Mail.
In your EVE Gate profile settings you can customize which notifications you receive.
Personalized backgrounds
You can now choose from a selection of backgrounds in your EVE Gate profile settings. This release includes seven backgrounds: Minmatar, Caldari, Gallente, Amarr,Incarna, Incursion and Tyrannis.
You can have a different background for each of your characters.
Players can personalize their EVE Gate backgrounds in their EVE Gate Profile Settings.
Captain’s Quarters

Some visual improvements have been made to the main screens and menu systems within the Captain's Quarters.
Fixed a rare case where action objects would not be interactable.
Fixed several potential crash issues with EVE Voice.
Fixed an issue with fleet voice chat that could prevent people from using voice chat at all.
API

Customizable API Keys
Customizable API keys and a new, improved method of accessing the API, were implemented. Please refer to this dev blog for more information.
The new API management website is located at [url]https://support.eveonline.com/api[/url].
The API system will still accept legacy API keys for a limited amount of time.
Please make sure you update your third-party applications and create a new API key for them!
Contracts
Contract updates are now available to third-party applications. For more information, please read this dev blog.
Three new pages were added to the API (in both /char and /corp): Contracts.xml.aspx, ContractItems.xml.aspx and ContractBids.xml.aspx.
Miscellaneous
Items in the AssetList and ContractItems will now include a rawQuantity attribute if the quantity in the database is negative. Negative quantities are in fact codes: -1 is a singleton item and -2 is a blueprint copy.
MarketOrders.xml.aspx will now return all active orders plus all orders issued in the last seven days. An optional "orderID" parameter can be provided to fetch any order belonging to your character/corporation.
CharacterInfo.xml.aspx now includes employment history.
WalletJournal.xml.aspx should no longer cause an error when rowCount is high.
User Interface

The “Show Info” window for drones in your ship's drone bay now displays the correct attributes according to your skills.
Graphic General

Resolved a sorting issue which made hair render in front of the ship's hologram in one's Captain's Quarters.
The Machariel will now be animated in your station hangar view like all other ships.
Technical

Switching ships while docked in a station no longer causes a session change.
When adding or removing turrets to/from the ship, the hangar and the fitting window view wasn't updating until the next ship change or undock. This has been fixed.
CarbonIO has been activated on the game client. More information regarding CarbonIO and our future plans can be found here CarbonIO will continue to work on the server but will not be activated in the client during this patch but is scheduled for a future deployment.
Localization

The German and Russian clients have had several changes made for consistency and linguistic issues throughout the game.
The confirmation message when abandoning loot now displays the option to not show the message again for the Russian and German clients.
Some formatting issues in the ESC menu have been resolved for the German client.
Mac

Fixed an issue where NVIDIA hardware would render characters with yellow hands; this fix only affects Snow Leopard as the NVIDIA driver was fixed in Lion.
Optimizations to VBO (vertex buffer object) should provide a performance boost to AMD systems in some cases.
An issue where the Jukebox cut off the end of some songs has been substantially reduced in scope, some songs still lose a few seconds at the end though.
Some memory-related fixes were introduced, significantly reducing the number of crashes due to running the client in high-detail mode.
A workaround was implemented to circumvent a NVIDIA 9400 crash that was affecting users running OS X Lion.

Highlights as usual when I feel like it.

Don't be to sure about that. That extra energy you've got on this ship makes it versatile for a lot of fleet fits. I've never flown it myself but we took it with us to some action and it worked as our anchor just fine.

Marauders in a fleet hahaahaha

[SwizzChees]

yep, we used in a incursion and it worked fine and dandy. We also took it to some low sec systems and to our surprise our "surprise fit" actually worked.

[editline]30th August 2011[/editline]

Experimenting in eve is something rather enjoyful. You should try out a little more.

[scout1]

low sensor strength, fuck all CPU/PG, and doesn't do anything a much cheaper BS can't do better

Why would you use a marauder?

[SwizzChees]

In our case it attracted others to engage it with bigger ships. And in the end why not? the least bit you'll get is a killmail. We've had some great fun with it.

Fucking love Megas. Never flown a Navy Mega.

How much does that Faction 100mn MWD cost?

When I bought mine it was <30m, but I have no idea what they're at now. An X-Type 100mn mWD was 100m when I got mine, now is like 200m or something retarded.

[fo631]

I bought a vargur and bunch of faction stuff for missioning 6months ago, maybe even earlier
then quit the game for awhile, when i came back and checked contracts and my stuff was worth 100s of millions more :pwn:

[Tosas]

Some guy started raging in local chat because I was ninja salvaging his wrecks. I started trolling him and he literally lost a full fitted drake to a vigil because he decided to ignore aggro mechanics and attacked me. I <3 concords.

Easiest ~30mil I ever made in a few seconds.

One time I was can baiting in a belt and my target's alt showed up and fired a volley at me in his sb. It did fuck all and he obviously got concorded because he didn't understand aggression, but on top of that I scooped the wreck and told him to come back and get it/I was keeping it for him. I dropped a can, he came back in a cyclone, and me and a corpie took him down in my rifter/his jag. Glorious kb points.
