"Name: Kronos
Hull: Megathron Class
Role: Marauder

Geared toward versatility and prolonged deployment in hostile environments focused on out hunting rather than out running , Marauders represent the cutting edge in today's warship technology. While especially effective at incursion in enemy space and mapping enemy movement, they possess comparatively weak sensor strength and may find themselves at increased risk of sensor jamming.
Nevertheless, these thick-skinned, hard-hitting monsters are the perfect tools for roaming galaxy's no matter in what part of space pilot found him self to be.

Developer: Duvolle Labs
Duvolle Labs manufactures sturdy ships with a good mix of offensive and defensive capabilities. Since the company is one of New Eden's foremost manufacturers of particle blasters, its ships tend to favor turrets and thus have somewhat higher power output than normal.

Gallente Battleship Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to large hybrid weapon damage and 10% bonus to the velocity factor of stasis webifiers per level

Marauder Skill Bonus:7.5%(debatable) increase to scan strength of probes per lvl and 7.5% bonus to large hybrid weapon tracking per level
Role Bonus: 100% bonus to large hybrid weapon damage, 100%(debatable) bonus to combat probe flight time and scan speed
Fitting or fitting (option 2)7 lows (7)4 med (5)6 high (5)4 turret slots 2 rig slots

drone bay 125/130

hit points and or resist profile buffed to compensate removal of local boost bonus,sensor strength buffed to some degree i do think they should retain some weakness to jams. 

Increased agility to match pirate counterpart,speed unchanged, ship warp speed 6 to 13 au(debatable)

In this way ppl that using ship in missions still have their carebearmobile they lost boost bonus but gain resist one making tanking this monsters still easy job.but ship can brake from that pve tomb it is now.While local monster tank can have it perks in pvp it is often confined to docking games or rare few solo actions and considering skill amount that you need to fly this ship it should be more usable anyway in various situations.And there is nothing stopping you to fit booster or ASB it is just not ship focus anymore.And in this form i do think wh ppl can use ship as early warning system as well as being potent pvp asset as well as pve shooter too when farming sleepers."

Above I wrote some time ago as one of option for teh marauder in current form they are nerfed by ccp because dual tank8ng bonus coupled with 3 uty high and triple dmg bonus.

What I believe I did with em is removed dual tank but not butcher it and removed extra high ffor some additional perks opening ship for all space and still limiting ship with au speed.

you either send it in first brick tanked for everybody to ignore or last u cant flex muscle with them in main fleet(no mass blob) they need to run in packs with other marauders.

Just make em 1B isk BS Hacs , Its what everyone want's

-1.

Some of us actually like having the tractor bonus on combat ships! Go fly your noctis alt and be happy.

Of course, if the base stats on tractor beam modules were improved instead, that would be cool too.

they dont have to have t2 hac resists.
what about this:

descent/balanced resist profile better than normal t1
good sensor str
double damage role like they have
enough pg/cpu for descent fittings
a jump drive for mobility.
=)

Yeah, so CCP's idea of cool concepts usually turn out to be, remove ship from current role and place in an ass backward role. As long as you dont nerf the **** out of them im grand with the change.

Then the price has to go up as a result

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

this is awesome!
we would need a larger cargo hold tho. say, orca sized =)...
this would actually be so freakin kewl all joking aside!

and double damaged strip miners. they cut 2x rock. =)
so 6 strippers, 8 guns and goooood tank. lololol

1-2 of these sitting right beside a rorqual, no risk, high output, lots of pewpew when they stumble into your belt.. =)

ok 2isk, I can only speak for the golem as I cant fly the others but here goes

fix sensor strength and locking time, same speed and slots as the RNI slighty improve resist profile but keep fat sig, a drone bay that can fit full flight of lights salvage (perhaps with bonus cos salvage drones are slow as hell), meds and a couple of spare lights, improve tractor range and salvager cycle time and you have a good ship.

to give it something new and fun give it a jump drive and modest fuel bay. the ability to jump to covert cyno would be cool but regular cyno would work too, dont let it bridge only jump but perhaps it needs the same mod as blops use to have jump capability.

this gives it a unique role, that of chasing down escalations and the ability of deploying for prolonged periods in hostile territory. this enhances its current role that everyone has already invested in and means it can also have pvp viable fits.

id say dont make its sensor strength too high but with the extra mid it could choose a eccm and have better than average sensors
an improved locking time means a regular cloak (not covert) is viable, maybe give it the blops faster when cloaked ability and give blops proper covert cloak.

Also give torps the same love cruise have been given (but thats for another thread)
make blops more than a mobile bridging platforrm (again for another thread).

there you go nothing too extreme or silly fits its current role and expands it to something fun and a reason to use in pvp too. Did I just win Eve?

They should be slightly better than the pirate faction ships, which at the moment they are not.
