can you explain reasoning behind this changes for example why i want to mjd 110km out in vargur not being able to use long range guns on it to shoot nerfed AC on that range fielding light drones?

Thx interesting concept.

no,what no?better let the people getting paid to take care of changes themselves,instead offer them ideas instead a full on change note.

I'll leave the general number crunching to CCP, but I do like your role bonus. Keeps the MJD from sacking your cap, and a 90 second recharge would make it usable more than once a room. I think it fits the concept of a marauder: swift attacks from unexpected directions. Now the Vargur just needs a powergrid that can take arties, and the concept completes itself

One problem: MJD hopping around makes the tractor bonus far less effective. You're easily outjumping their range, even if you work the angles and manage to hop back into a reasonable range of wrecks you've made.

Besides the fact you have 7 bonuses there half of those bonuses are just OP/conflict with pirate battleships or a waste of time..

CCP already has a concept for them apparently so lets wait and see what they have come up with

No

Pirate bonuses
- e-war things like webs for instance.

OP bonuses
- there is at least 3 bonuses that improve range/damage and application ... ships have 2 of those at most depending on the role.

Waste of time bonuses
- MJD .. i imagine cap not being much of an issue ,, reducing cool-down is OP and the ships don't need it
- tractor beams bonus is a waste of a bonus
- so many damage bonuses when all they have to do is add more turrets/launchers
- Target Painter bonus .. they could replace with explosion radius if they wanted to

7 bonuses is simply excessive combined with the excessive drones and the ships lacking any focus or role

Did you think about making Maruaders ASB/AAR specialty boats? Gives you the potential to make a very unique platform.

TA

That's an interesting idea!

less fuel consumption?

would it be a role bonus or replace a different bonus?

I'm thinking a Marauder skill bonus for each hull. Let's start with these ideas, I'm sure they need lots of refinement.

Paladin
5% Reduction to capacitor use and nanite paste use of AAR's per level of Maruaders (this might need a cycle time)
Kronos
7.5% Increase of repair amount of AAR's per level of Maruaders
Golem
5% Reduction to reload time of ASB per level of Marauders
Vargur
+5 m3 to capacity of ASB's per level of Marauders (not sure about this amount)

Hmmm

another option is to include AAR into the bonus armor repairers get and include ASB into the bonus shield boosters get.

They are at the moment, this is a stacked bonus.

I'm thinking Marauders need to be solo or small gang heavy hitting BS, focused on disrupting supply and information of hostiles, with just enough tank to bug out when the mission goes sideways.

Do MJD work through gate bubbles?

TL;DR...was more p*ssed that the OP tried so damn hard to make his post look like a Dev Blog with out the Dev tag...

EDIT: Hissy fit over why don't you wait for the Dev post to come out and then add your feedback to what they have worked out taking into account all the other ships e.g. Pirate Ships and then throw your full weight at it rather than start a discussion on something that hasn't had any post from CCP yet.

I think you've made work for yourself and others discussing something that is about to be announced a bit like but not as bad as Devs said to be looking at drones (nerfs incoming).

I do applaud the fresh ideas and I do like the way you've laid them out and if this wasn't already to be announced then I'd say nice work but I just can't, sorry.

I would love to see what they have to come up with, but as of right now they just say they are thinking of something. Therefore I'm submitting my ideas for features in the " Features & Ideas Discussion" forum.
