Geared toward versatility and prolonged deployment in hostile environments, Marauders represent the cutting edge in today’s warship technology. While being thick-skinned, hard-hitting monsters on their own, they are also able to use Bastion technology. Similar in effect to capital reconfiguration technology, when activated the Bastion module provides immunity to electronic warfare and the ability to withstand enormous amounts of punishment, at the cost of being stationary.

[Paladin, Missioner] Imperial Navy Large Armor Repairer Heat Sink II Heat Sink II Heat Sink II Kinetic Armor Hardener II Kinetic Armor Hardener II Armor Thermic Hardener II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II Tracking Computer II Stasis Webifier II Tachyon Beam Laser II, Multifrequency L Tachyon Beam Laser II, Multifrequency L Tachyon Beam Laser II, Multifrequency L Tachyon Beam Laser II, Multifrequency L Small Tractor Beam I Small Tractor Beam I Salvager I Large Capacitor Control Circuit I Large Capacitor Control Circuit I Hornet II x5 Hammerhead II x5
This is the fit you want to run when doing missions in Amarr space, and it plows through any Blood or Sansha L4 mission like knife through hot butter, and does quite well vs. Mercenaries and Drones as well.
The faction armor repairer is needed due to the somewhat limited powergrid, but for the rest, T2 works just fine. Other than that, upgrading the Heat Sinks and Stasis Webifier to faction variants is a relatively cheap way to make things go quite a bit more smoothly. Hardeners based on Rat type.

This is a good fit for drone space krabbing and has the ability to get away from hostiles attempting to tackle you with the use of the neuts and micro jump drive.
