Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I Hope So yes
Many of us trained hard to fly them and now what we need its just some small changes

You know, sometimes you guys can be real jerks.

considering the training time i think its safe to assume the wont be worse at what they do now best,
but that doesnt imply they will have the same focus

Why on earth do you want them to have cyno capabilities? Maybe if we allow MJD's with a certain script that allow them to lock on to cyno signatures sure but simply providing marauders with cyno powers seem inane.

I've said if before and I'll say it again, Marauders should become the premier combat vessel. If we say that pirate vessels should have the best DPS due to their nature, then marauders should logically have the best tanks for BS class. They already punch quite hard, let them take more than a slap in the face.

IMHO a marauders should be impossible to get sub-100k ehp with t2 fittings of the appropriate type.

Slot layout includes for 5 weapons with double damage bonus, 8 slots in the primary tank, 4 slots in the secondary.

7/8/4 and adjusted where appropriate.

5 weapon highs
8 Tank
4 secondary tank

As marauders already have 400 calibration I won't touch their rig slots.

Role bonus: always hits as if in optimal. Able to lock CCP Fozzie and Ytterbium from any location.

PVE = MARAUDERS
PVP = PIRATE BS

CCP for sure will stay at this Route and they will add/change some Stats/bonuses for these ships

I'll be massively disappointed if they do, making Marauders 'PVE ships' was a terrible piece of game design for a sand-box game...

I'd actually like to see Marauders become a battleship-class Interdictor

Failing that, perhaps they could become more effective sub-cap combat ships by allowing for more diversity between their factional weapon types and by beefing up their tanks a bit

Perhaps also replace the stupid tractor bonus with a rate of use bonus on Micro-Jump Drives

Thoughts?

There should be no difference - if the principal role is to shoot stuff in the face, it makes no difference if that is an NPC or a player.

you're right, but it would overwelm at least 90% of all players fokussing in PvE-gameplay.
imagine the nerd-rage and butthurt.
