Except for the part where your idea is horribly unbalanced.


I agree it needs more drawbacks maybe a 30m reactivation timer or something like that.

It needs to be laughed at by CCP, which will likely happen when they see this thread.

Probably but i see it as most humans want in trade for an idea so saying lets get rid of the bastion module for something that gives the marauder more character and appeal is completely feasible in my opinion the concept of what ive proposed however needs more discussion and changes to bring it back a little more due to the fact that it still is overpowered

To be completely honest, I think people will primarily continue using Marauders as a mission running tool. We may also see some interesting doctrines with them, but overall it's fairly useless after taking cost in to effect when you can use cheaper tools to get the job done.

Yea
Also when ever i mess around on sisi i dont want to have to take out a rapier/sieged dread to kill bs more often than needed lol

They just need some bonus changes to be honest nothing new and crazy like a siege mod of sorts or dd.

I'd rather not need to bring out a Moros just to survive someone saying "Boom, headshot."

Well it probably wouldnt be a moros because the common t2 resist is kin/therm so it would be a nag or rev

I, for one, greet our Marauder overlords!

i love the idea of this mini-DD, because I am a RnK spai. Without giving anything away, lord maldoror and I talked to myself in the mirror when we heard this idea and i said;
"Lord M, would you like to hotdrop 100 min-DD Vargurs onto a Titan?"
"Why, what would that be in alpha, lord M you shmechsy beast?"
"oh, you, always flattering! Lets see...17.5M?"
"Boy howdy!"
"indeed, we could alpha a small POS every ten minutes!"

Couldn't this mechanic be achieved by giving a bonus to smartbomb range and damage?

Like 100% bonus to smart bomb range and 100% bonus to smart bomb damage?

Did I not just point out that your 'tank an entire fleet' thing was utter nonsense? Seven Talos. That's not an entire fleet. That is seven battlecruisers, less than the price of your vargur.

And how the HELL is 'this will destroy literally any fleet it ever comes across' anything like a fair trade when it's being compared with 'this will help you tank a bit better'?

I have a BADASS IDEA....Let's give the Marauder an SMA so it can store smaller ships inside it so we can store smaller ships in it for fleet buddies in case we get dropped in deep space. That way if we get tackled by a smaller ship we can defend ourselves.

But I also think it would be cool if it had the ability to repair itself and fleet buddies really well, so some sort of module that boosts remote and local reps would work nicely. That way we can repair effectively in combat. To prevent it being overpowered, it would need to consume some sort of material to remain active, maybe with the amount being consumed being relative to the level of a certain skill related to it (the name is undecided but could be open for the community to decide).

Another change which would work well would be a jumpdrive aboard the ship so it can actually get into enemy territory without being murdered by hostile gatecamps. It's a problem we marauder pilots suffer from a lot as you can tell from killboards. Having a jumpdrive would mean it can actually get into the areas where it can work best without problems.

Also, as use of drones in sites and what-not is extremely useful it would be nice to have the ability to deploy more powerful drones - maybe some sort of cruiser-sized drone that deals a tonne of DPS to battleships in sites. Fielding more than 5 would also be a good idea, like say +1 for every level of Marauder you have trained.

I think these changes would be really effective for the Marauder, then we could be proud of our Golems, Vargurs, Kronos' and Paladins without worry of them being laughed at. Please listen to these changes CCP.

^ i would even accept that over the DD its just the fact that when you present the idea of something new and "good" to a community you cant simply take it back there needs to be a fair trade for it.
Mini DD is my idea of a trade that would appeal to many people

I'm strongly against the OP's idea.

Bastion module is far better.

How much herp could a herp derp derp if a herp derp could herp derp.

I believe this was posted in the wrong forum, please move it to the "one line bad idea" thread.

Although I agree that the boosting is OP and that this is not the direction I feel marauders should go.
