Been flying this ship for years. Still probably my favorite.

Ohhh wish I could play EVE again. Used to play back in the day and had to stop due to rl time constraints. Started playing echoes in the open beta and enjoyed it until netease really messed it up, gave up finally in January this year. Seeing the EVE online content here really makes me want to start again... Perhaps I will find time again, who knows. Until then I'll enjoy the content here. Thank you captain!

EVE Online is going from strength to strength, and doesn't take much time to play. I find that, in Echoes, you need hours to do anything, whereas in EO, I can log in and feel like I've achieved something after as little as 30 mins.

I still think you should try a sniping fit with a micro jump drive. I'm always able to shoot frigates down before they get close enough to become a problem, and if they do get close, I can jump once more as I have a turret falloff of over 200Km

@@lexugax ty, i will definitely try this

I use a Kronos for Triglavian Werpost response fleets. I've lost two so far (one along with a high-grade Asklepian clone set! due to CCP's beloved disconnects), but I have a fit now that can tank two response fleets at once. That's up to six Hospodar Leshaks (and sometimes a Zorya BS, BC and more) and 25 other ships including lots of neuting and tracking disruption. I would suggest using implants and A-Type multispec membranes and a DC II and one X-Type repper and 2 x Heavy X-Type Nos. The Nos will keep you alive while you blap the NPCs, I would also use a faction grappler and Domination web. You will kill the frigates and cruisers very fast this way and use less cap. You could, of course, warp in at over 100km and use large Rails. Large rails were recently buffed and do a lot more damage than they used to. You could refit for the Drifter BS.

You need to refit for the Drifter and other sites. This works as a core fit, look at what makes each site otherwise special and refit (it's usually upping tank or capacitor)

EVE is a ramping game. You start off in cheap ships earning cheap ISK. As you grow, you'll fly more expensive ships that earn more ISK. A C5 combat site is 250m per site. So these Marauders are expensive but make a LOT of ISK back.

I´m far from flying this class of ship but i noticed something REALLY stupid and if any1 have a good answer for why this is the case then feel free to comment. The align time of that Maurader is faster then your average Mining Barge. Just why??? Your average Barge is sitting on around 15sec, that Kronos is 1 of the biggest ship classes and it only hade 10sec.

@captainbenzie

10 ай бұрын

It's a battleship. Battleships are meant to be *somewhat* mobile since they're intended for battlefield use so have basically the necessary systems fitted. Mining Vessels are cumbersome, laden with heavy engineering and industrial equipment plus all the space required to hold ores etc. Not to mention that mining vessels simply aren't designed with any form of mobility in mind. Of course, in game terms, it's just to make them easier to catch and thus more vulnerable.

@thorveim1174

Ай бұрын

also another thing to consider is that while the kronos may be somewhat fast to warp... once it starts fighting seriously and uses bastion, its stuck where it is for 60 seconds no matter what. Hell thats why in PvP the biggest fear or marauders is to have an anticapital fit dreadnought (which, when you think of it are basically just giant marauders made to kill immobile objects) dropped on their heads, as there is literally nothing they can do against one while stuck in Bastion :p

Little "Hot Salvage" there at the end.
