If you're able to one shot a tank, it was probably Militia with a horrific fit. Any decent tank is not going to go down that easily.
I run a Surya, which is the Gallente Marauder in case you don't know. On the Fit I'm currently running with I have the best armor repair, the best 120mm armor plating, and 3 damage reduction modules that vary between -23%-25% damage each, and those are just my low slots. This puts me at 5k-6k Armor HP before skills, and a damage reduction of well over 50%, meaning even if your forge gun is hitting for 2,000 HP a second, you're going to have to shoot me at the very least 6 times. At best you're firing at what, once every two seconds? Mean you have to shoot me without my armor rep going for at least 12 seconds. Unless I'm an idiot, you'll either be dead, or I'll be long gone by the time you make me worried.
I've never lost a marauder before, but the only times I've really gotten into deep **** is when I get surrounded and have multiple people beating on me for an extended period of time.
Moral of the story, no, the Forge Gun is not OP, and no, a single person is not going to be able to take on a Marauder by himself and win.
Also Noc, I'd like to have a discussion with you at some points about the pro/cons between the Sageris and Surya, still deciding on what I want to do in the main game and I'm curious on what sort of fit/effective HP you have on your tank.

Although I warn you to pay forge guns more respect, you are very lucky at this point not to have lost a marauder, and some particular people I know will give you a serious run for your money solo. Shop talk like specific fits is easier on the IRC. Be sure to get on and I'd be happy to tell you why the Sagaris is greatly superior 
Oh dont get me wrong, Forge Guns scare the **** out of me, especially at range when I have issues dealing with them. Im just making a point that the forge gun wont go around popping Marauders in 2 shots either.
I'll also jump on IRC right now if you're still available
EDIT: Looks like I've neglected to register for the NDA protected IRC, looks like our discussion will have to wait unless you're willing to talk via other means. |
