Since you're not a fan of flashlights, I'll throw this out there. Conflagration ammo is the last thing to use against frigs. It has 30% reduced tracking speed. You're working against your tracking speed script. Somebody downthread already mentioned using faction multifreq, but I just wanted to point out why. Other than that, great video!

I have not tried this marauder, however I would prioritize shooting sentinils over turrets as they are approaching, as you can apply perfectly with conflag and scorch. I would consider switching to tracking and multifrequency for shooting at cruisers orbiting at 15km (applies more damage). After reducing sentinil count I would kill the turrets. This is from my experience of running 10/10's. Also not that there is a decent gap between optimal and falloff. You can apply 90% of your dps 40% into your falloff distance, keep this in mind when choosing ammo. Conflag shoots really far out, and ammo switching is almost instant.

I'm a little surprised you don't like the look of Amar ships since a number of them remind me of the ship from the old mid 80s film Flight of the Navigator if you can picture them in more of a silver color scheme for the ships. However I do agree with you regarding Amar ships in using lasers which is one of the most limited weapons in the game regarding the damage type and the heavy need to use cap that I'd prefer to be used for other mods. Also, even though I have used armor fits on rare occasions for brawling fits and that was mostly for a ruppy. I also don't like the reduced speed from armor tanked ships while preferring the speed of minmatar ships when shield tanked.

I love energy turrets when in space that they are useful in. Hybrid turrets suffer from the same drawbacks with damage output. I'd much rather use projectiles over missiles to mix up damage outputs. Also one thing I LOVE to do is put projectiles on amarr ships that don't get energy turrets damage bonus. Projectiles on a prophecy is fun.

I love the paladin. Before my break i was running l4 soe missions with it. The minmatar maurader is fun too

If you're blinging the ship, why don't you use a Multispectrum Energized Membrane instead of a Multispectrum Coating?

The Kornos at least before the Change was better at PVP. The Vargur is the better choice. The Gleom is just popular because 80% of EVE capsuleers are in love with Jita, Caldari and their shields and their Fire and Forget Missiles so it takes less pilot experience to fly a Caldari ship. LOL Amarr is the King of ARmor and WHs rock in ARmor ships. Armor ships are superior in WHs inless the hole has a effect. Gallente ships are better for low skill PVE and Small Gang PVP (BUT a SHield Fitted Domi or shield Navy Domi rocks and the New Navy Mrym Shield fitted Rocks in PVE but it requires more skill to fly those because of the drone skills and sentray skills besides the weapon skills )

Maybe keep watching then

Game is so bad. Extremely long and boring travel time, consisting of loading screens and the occasional interdictor gank from which you have basically no way to escape from; yes there are external tools to check for kills in systems but that only makes travelling even more tediou(also someone has to be the first one to die for the tools to warn you ). Pvp basically impossible outside of FW, unless you are multiboxing gate camping or camping wormholes for hours in your 100m cloaky astero to kill a 8m ( sister probes making half the killmail ) t1 explorer ( if you can call any of this "pvp"). PvE is not rewarding at all, you need several hours of it ( with high skill ) to be able to afford a decent ship; lmao to people saying " watch a movie while ratting" if I wanted to watch a movie I wouldn't be playing a game. Exploration has been destroyed by bots, and even if it wasn't it's a repetitive boring activity with huge RNG, not to mention the cargo scanners who make you waste time scanning a site which has mostly been looted. Hauling is a joke unless you got a jump freighter ( and even then, is the payout really worth the risk and the hassle?) New player experience is sisters of eve arc followed by a 2 omega months wait in order to be able to fit a navy ship with t2 modules and loose it to rancer gankers or max skills 10y players. Just stop playing and let it die. The most fun solo gameplay of this game on youtube is a guy camping the perimeter gate with 3 accounts 8 hours a day fighting against loot stealing bots. Lmao

I'm gonna hardcore disagree with you but there are way too many issues to address individually. Plenty you could do to avoid travel, to travel safer, and to engage with the PVP gameplay that you lament a lack of at one point, but mention you keep getting caught by it before. Exploration imho is still great, no idea what you're talking about here. Ratting is engaging and fun (maybe not Hisec/Nullsec but lmao get out of Carebear Land) "Max skills" don't matter. You can max ships quickly, and anything beyond that is unrelated to the ship. Honestly bro, you just sound salty, and that may just mean that EVE Online isn't for you. That's fine, this is not a mass market appeal game, but it sounds like you need to complain about the game less, engage with the game more, look at your own progress rather than blaming veterans (the only advantage they have is knowledge), and maybe try finding a decent corp to fly with. Good luck either way!
