not sure yet.
The problem is that most people that play the game don't really understand it. It should be very obvious why a marauder without a active tanking bonus, more speed, sensor strength, lock speed, another projection bonus and utility bonuses geared towards RR and mwd movement is far better for most pve and most pvp scenarios then what CCP has in mind(it is ok that they lose some stuff for massive tanks, however it is not ok that people should lose her marauders for ships and stuff they have no use for to begin with). It is actually a very balanced solution to marauders, from someone that flown all of them a lot and knows where they could use a little helping hand to be overall more appealing compared to faction BS, not because they are they are plain more powerful(what they are not), but because they add useful bonuses to gangs, and cover certain niches better than her faction counterparts.
I for myself don't need the extra tank(not for L4 and certainly not when I use RR), however I am interested in keeping the marauders useful for more than having a afk friendly tank, for people that did know why, when and how to fly marauders.
The Djego, you know we will be mothballing ours, or selling them.
The Marauder class had a specialized role, a PvE ship. It was never designed for PvP, outside of the Alliance tourney, which in and of itself is contrived PvP.
So now CCP is trying to make it into a PvP sniper boat with MjD capabilities. Think there are 2 or 3 T1 BS's that do that now.
But fight this is over. Another terrible design of a ship will get rammed through. There will be tears after the masses who don't even read the forums start flying them and realize how terribad they are.
Prices will spike for them before and just after Nov 19th. Then they will slowly slide as the full awfulness is realized.
By then, we will be flying another class of ship, inferior to the current Marauder, and just sadly shaking our heads.
