The Paladin is the Amarr Marauder, and is one of the most imposing battleships in existence. Possessing tremendous DPS potential, a sturdy tank, and a very nifty web bonus, it excels in many roles.

Player vs Environment fits

Permanent Tank, High Damage

Above all else, this fit emphasizes maximum damage to the target. With Tachyon Beam Lasers, its possible to hit for over 3,000 damage in a single volley with Aurora L crystals, and nearly 5,500 with faction Multifrequency crystals.

Tracking is not a strong suit of Tachyon Beam Lasers, and due to their extreme grid requirements, a power diagnostic system is required. However, this module can be removed and an additional Heat Sink II or hardener put in its place with a 3% power grid implant.

High Slots:

• 4x Tachyon Beam Laser II
• any combination of tractor beams and salvagers

Medium Slots:

• 3x Cap Recharger II
• 1x Stasis Webifier II

Low Slots:

• 1x Large Armor Repairer II
• 3-4x Mission Specific Hardeners
• 1-2x Heat Sink II
• 1x Capacitor Power Relay II
• 0-1x Power Diagnostic System II

Rig Slots:

• 2x Auxiliary Nano Pump I

Permanent Tank, High Damage Alternative

This is an expensive variation of the above fit, with a greater emphasis placed on damage output.

High Slots:

• 4x Tachyon Beam Laser II

Medium Slots:

• 3x Cap Recharger II
• 1x Federation Navy Stasis Webifier

Low Slots:

• 1x Imperial Navy Large Armor Repairer
• 3x Imperial Navy Heat Sink
• 3x Mission Specific Hardeners

Rig Slots:

• 2x Capacitor Control Circuit II

Player vs Player fits

Though it is not unheard of, Marauder class battleships are rarely used in Player vs Player combat. Though they have formidable damage output and tanking ability, their sensor strength is very low compared even to tech 1 battleships. Because of this, players flying marauders will often find themselves permanently jammed when facing a gang that has even moderate amounts of sensor jamming strength.
