The high price, the horrible sig radius, and terrible sensor strength; all for the purpose to make them useless in combat (with the notable exception of some Alliance Tournements.)That was their role, and since then, they have done their job, when and where expected.
So I fail to understand CCP's current charge in trying to force these adequately preforming ships into new or additional roles, a move which looks dangerously like it will end with these ships trying to multi-task, but end up preforming in none. If I want to field a billion ISK ship, I'll bring my carrier. Capital tank, capital dps, and capital fleet.
My golem exterminates rats, and it works just fine.
Sorry to say it ccp - and the rest of you guys
But he has a point. _ THE animations look cool,. don't get us (the player base) wrong..
But why not remove the *bastion* module, and just give the marauder the bastion mode.. *similar to jump bridging on BlOps*
Slow the ship heaps, (my idea is 87.5% base with 4-5% reduction per skill level) disable prop mod, eg.. mjd, mwd, ab..
READ: **reduce** the effectiveness of ALL Incomming EW - Friendly or not.. Isolate the ship
Chance to jam reduce 70% - or more
RR Effectiveness to the same equivalent as Armor resist % *for that balance*
Keep the Local rep bonus as they are. . . - Maybe even buff them *or the reload times for Assisted Reppers* -
Incapable of jumping/gating/warping etc.. *weapons timer honestly?*
If your going to take their ability to salvage/loot the field and operate their Solo Operational Capacity, They are meant to be sustainable in hostile combat areas.. Like Advance Guard.
Right?? i mean thats the description. says so right on the ship.. So if this is such a badass ship ( Hold up let me explain where i'm going.. I've been making plans to use these with boosters.. and their just REdiculiously Op... ) Remove the ships fleet bonus's - Atleast while in bastion. . or this ***** just crazy.. - there i said it.. Give it Something to make it a true marauder, Pillaging Raping that whole Nordic traditional Essence.
Don't make them 0.0 Gardeners of the Rats. Make them something people want to use on frontline because they are Fully awesome.. Because they Are Hell raising.
Disable Bastion in Highsec - let the highsec pos's continue to feel safe - And let the lvl4 mission bots *ahem* people be happy doing what their doing -
driving This economy.
Basically ..........................
Marauders Bastion mode should be the Warp core of the ship exposed to space Venting radiation arround the local gravity centre *your marauder* Making it damn near impossible to effect systems on that ship *friendly or Hostile* Being a warp core, it influences gravity ergo More power heavier ship, using the power from that part of your ship to increase other stats - eg Guns -sensor to maintain target lock through the intense radiation- Shield/Armor and Capacitor
--Bastion shouldn't be a *module* but a skill, Like Jumping on a BlOps.
--Massive reduction in Speed 70-80%
--Massive reduction on EW or Remote Logistics *including sensory ew*
Huge Increase in Capacitor Charge and Recharge rate -
Increases in all Offensive systems *Eg Drone Bandwidth and gun damage and projection* target painter effectiveness etc... etc..
larger drone bays. . .
Excerpt from the Kronos - "Nevertheless, these thick-skinned, hard-hitting monsters are the perfect ships to take on long trips behind enemy lines." - That requires new flights of drones...
Make them the Hulks of eve, chew up and spit out all lesser foe.
Sig bonus to webber / tp effectiveness.. bad on frigs *not toally ineffective* but stops battleships in their tracks..
I mean this is in 4 hours of reading this Thread.. and talking to other players..
Its nice you realise Marauders should live up too their keep sake.. but the animation is about the only Cool thing your doing right now..
So +4 for the art team but No Kudos for the rest of it so far.. Maybe look up the meaning of Marauder. and envision what the pinnacle of Gate faring Technology in new eden should be...
As Always fly safe.. i'll be seeing you out there.. |
