Paladin is easier to multibox because you only need scorch and conflag . Makes easier to kill the 70km waves with scorch and since you should always use implants when ratting C5 you can make a cap and tank stable fit for drifter and site. Golem doesn't have range for 70km spawns and missile application is trash. The only other decent marauder is the vargur because you can track cruisers better but when multiboxing you waste 20 seconds changing ammo twice for the drifter. No need to talk about Kronos for C5 ratting XD.

Range is 70 with a range script I've never ran implants ever but you need nos and therefore no smartbombs for golem

Love this vid Captain Benzie. Marauders are awesome ships, can´t get enough of seeing them in action. The first Marauder i was able to fly is the Kronos and the second is the Varghur, so i am happy with this outcome. Using the Marauders myself mainly for missions, the Varghur is really a beast, but i love my Kronos rails so much because it is so easy to use. So i switch a lot between the two. Thanks again for making this, and i subbed for more content.

TBH all marauders except the Kronos can do sites + drifter in roughly the same ammount of time if you are refitting for the drifter. Some people don't like to refit because a sneaky snake can come along and spawn the drifter before you're ready to deal with it and you can die. The Golem can absolutely fit 2 application modules and still be cap stable, I regularly do Garrisons with a target painter and missile guidance computer, it's not as fast as a Pally or Vargur but you make up the time on the drifter easily. I am in a C5 corp and the number of different ways people like to approach site running is crazy, a lot of it is just preference, nobody uses a Kronos though, nobody!

so you are willing to use the optimized ammo for the Golem and Vargur but not for the Pally or Kronos Imp navy muti freq for high damage and HIGH tracking Imp Navy Standard good range ok damage and very LOW Capacitor usage. you may have skills to use the ships but that doesn't mean you have the experience to fly them.

Clearly you haven't ran enough of these sites. Neut pressure is an issue for ALL marauders. You have to fit accordingly for the drifter and use implants. The fact you think the kronos is some how better than the Paladin or golem proves my point you are still new. Wait for the rats to get closer? Things you don't have to do in any other marauder and you can hit at those ranges. The Paladin are superior for C5 sites vs all the rest, Instant ammo swaps, crazy range, an zero reloads. As for tracking, it's not an issue as you'll track cruisers no problem. Frigs you have smart bombs for. Golem > Vargu > Kronos.

@@captainbenzie Had you been properly fit (for drifter) and running implant, that kronos at the start would have most likely survived. If you're looking at this from purely a solo point of view, having a site fit and a drifter fit is optimal, as ashy in space wrote about years ago. But, you also want implants. If you're properly prepping the site and creating warp in bookmarks (like you should) . As for sub-optimal, the Kronos is the worst, you need rails to hit further out targets and it can't hit the drifter resist holes, which is EM in armor and thermal in shield. it's the slowest of the 3 for completion times.
