800mm Plate Guardians (both passive and active)
1600mm Plate Guardians (both passive and active)
It also has both expensive and cheap versions of the guardian.
There are a few arguments i'd like to propose:
- 1. 800mm plates have no place in a guardian fit, you can make a 1600mm fit whilst still having t2 large reppers. Example below
2. Having both cheap and expensive fits is pointless, the market fluctuates and faction and pirate modules aren't incredibly stable. Better to have a single t2 fit and then let the pilot getting the ship bling it to their own liking, anyone flying this ship should know how to bling. (this is also part of the wiki fitting guidance rules)
3. The wiki should be consistent; a write up is a good idea, but the detail in this wiki should probably be on a separate page and the wiki fittings be put back to a similar way to other ships. (I'd also argue that alot of the information on this wiki page is also incorrect/outdated.)
4. The use of Scrams on a guardian is very niche; this shouldn't be a main fit and should probably just have a note somewhere explaining their use (for anyone who doesn't know it's to disable booshing by a command dessy.)
There are two fits i'd recommend be placed on the wiki. The 1600mm passive and active fits.

There is an argument to be made that the passive guardian shouldn't be included due to the fact that its tank will turn off under neut pressure, as well as the fact that it actually doesn't have much of an increased tank over the passive version.
You can make these much tankier by removing 2 large reps, downgrading to medium reps and sticking some trimarks in, however by doing that you lose out on the range advantage that the guardian has.
Sure you lose some EHP but by having the Large rep range you can put yourself far enough away that you will be mitigating the majority of the incoming damage. This plays to the guardian's small sig strength
(You also have much much stronger reps this way)
