The Marauder name has an implication of use in raids and attacks, but distinctly separate from regular attempts resulting in sov or other permanent occupation.

The marauder, in common context, comes and raids, takes what they want, but always leaves.
They are the farmer, and the crop is the valued items accumulated and created by those they attack.

They harvest these items, and move to the next crop's harvest.

This ship should be great for roams, but with diminishing returns for use in groups large enough to be called a fleet, or involving any large number of capital ships.

agreed nick.

maybe give the self rep bonus back but give them -25% on incoming rr (-5% per lev to 0 at marauder 5)...
self reliant, highly skilled only need apply...

balanced t2 resists, self rep, good scan probing, good scan res, etc...
but quick.

Especially quick.

Slow and tanky is only useful against NPC's when you have a perpetual active tank possible.

Otherwise, it creates a need for support to bring targets to it, or allow it to catch the ones who would otherwise escape easily.

It feels incomplete.

OP lost me by using the word "kewl".

Too bad too, half his ideas weren't completely awful.





Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Bastion.


I think "marauder" is a more appropriate term for some sort of covert/blops ship or hac.


Tier-3 Battleships should be T2 Black Ops/Assault Ship hybrid, named Marauders

Not sure what the Tier-3 T2 ones would be named however
Abaddon
Rokh
Hyperion
Maelstrom

Now all we have to do is rename the current marauder class to something like bastion except more catchy or better sounding
