Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I get your point, but why do we want to redefine what specialization means at this point, just for the battleship size vessels?
Also, every faction BS already used in this role would effectively earns the same tech 2 title, since they are doing the same job in very nearly the same manner.

Specialization starts with special, and this feels pretty common with so many hulls doing the job already.

not a step up, no, but a step out.
they are a little less powerful in strait on damage, but more of a utility ship.

if they were hac bs's, then they need good resists and damage.
but if they are for something else, then they will dish out less damage but gain something pirates dont have.
like a jump drive.
or mjd bonus.
or resists
or whatever,

also, i dont think jump drives are black ops only. saying cloaking is, well..im not going to argue, i was merely throwing out options.
but jump drives to help alliance move about their territory or help defend fleets by flying shot gun would be VERY useful.

all it takes is a keyboard and a description change to change what the ship is used for.
i think a jump drive would be awesome. not needed, but awesome.
i would be happy with scanning bonuses for probe launchers. a cross between cov ops and bs's. somcething we can take into worm holes and scan crap down faster.

a good rr bonus would be EXTREMELY helpful. make them partial logi. maybe double range and/or 50% to amount. something kewl. since they survive deep in enemy territoy, they may need to patch each other up.

one never knows.

dat

Id be happy with more CPU PG and another turret/missile slot for a little bit more DPS. Sensor strength and scan res could use a boost as well. This would help it in both PvP and PvE without changing everything like most ppl want to.

The whole problem that i have with marauders, is that they were ment to be the top end PVE class of ship, The end all be all of ratting.

This never became a reality, as faction battleships out damage and in some cases out tank marauders.

I think holding a marauder in place in 0.0 is suicide - not many people use them anyway for the reasons above. The best and really only way to fix them would be to Give them most of the bonus's from the siege mod but forget the siege mod.

also we need to make them have more damage and more tank base - So lets take a paladin for example

Paladin

Role Bonus: 200%(+100%) bonus to large energy weapon damage, 30% shield, armor and hull resistances(no stacking penalty), Extends all large turret falloff and optimal by 25%

Amarr Battleship Skill Bonus:
5% bonus to capacitor capacity
7.5% bonus to Large Energy Turret tracking

Marauder Skill Bonus:
25% bonus to repair amount of armor repair systems
4% bonus to all resistances per level


Slot layout: 7H, 4M, 8L(+1); 4 turrets, 0 launchers
Fittings: 16500 PWG (+3000), 530 CPU (+30)
Defense (shields / armor / hull) : 5800 / 10000 / 6000 <-- changed all of them to better suit a marauder
Capacitor (amount / recharge rate / cap/s) : 8000(+2375) / 1000s (+76.1s) / 8 cap/s (+2)
Mobility (max velocity / agility / mass / align time): 85 m/s(-20) / .119(-0.009) / 111665000(+6465000) / 18.42s
Drones (bandwidth / bay): 25(-50) / 50(-25)
Targeting (max targeting range / Scan Resolution / Max Locked targets): 100km / 120(+39) / 10
Sensor strength: 8 Radar
Signature radius: 420(-80)



Now Something like this would make people WANT to fly it for PVE, its powerful enough that people would use these in 0.0.

some will say it looks overpowered but it has 8 Sensor strength, so even a half noob blackbird pilot can perma jam this with 1 jammer...

Also i was thinking of maybe a vulnerability stat for it, Where say... player(not NPC) EW mods have a 25% bonus towards you.


All in all, this would make it a MASSIVELY AMAZING OVERPOWERED RATTINGSHIP.. but it would be useless in pvp.. and thats what marauders should be.
