I made a thread on this a while back. New marauders is a YES, having them part of tiers is a NO. Tiers result is useless ships.
The idea is to create ships with a different specialization than existing marauders.
New marauders would follow existing marauder standards: 4 hardpoints and a 100% damage role bonus/ tractor beam bonus, crappy sensors, same resists, ect..
Khanid Torp Abbadon: (Does NOT fill same niche as Golem, notice the missing range bonus. Less range, more tank.)
7.5% armor rep bonus
5% explosion velocity bonus
7.5% target painter bonus
5% cap recharge bonus
Roden Drone Hyperion: Notice the lack of gun damage bonus. It's 4 turrets would be unbonused(other than the 100% hybrid turret bonus. It may need a slightly nerfed powergrid to keep its dps in line with other marauders.) Manufacturing corp is debatable here, Creodrone and Duvuolle Labs already have battleships, so I chose roden.
10% bonus to drone damage/hit points
10% web bonus
7.5% armor rep
7.5% drone MWD speed (or drone control range range?)
Ishikone Hybrid Rokh: would give Caldari gunboat pilots something decent battleship sized to train for, since ALL of their faction battleships (and pirate battleship) are missile boats. It does not fill the same niche as the kronos, notice the range bonus instead of tracking. Would also be slower than golem, since golem is intended for close range.
7.5% shield boost bonus
10% hybrid turret range
5% hybrid turret damage
7.5% target painter (maybe web, could be helpful with blaster fits.)
Core Complexions Arty Maelstrom: Vargur needs serious fitting mods for arty, its really an autocannon ship. This new ship would be much slower and have a larger sig than the vargur. Notice the lack of a tracking bonus and falloff bonus. It makes the vargur a better choice for autocannons.
7.5% shield boost bonus
5% bonus Large projectile turret damage (or rof, whichever is better for arty)
10% large projectile range bonus (doesn't do much for autocannons, but is helpful for arty)
7.5% bonus to target painting (would complement arty well, since its low rof makes killing small ships a pain.) |
