Demand for marauders is reall low due to the fact that in general they are no as good as normal battleships.

So only mission runners seem to have an interest in them for there large cargo holds. Normal pvp bsed players are sticking with the far cheaper and generaly better all round battleships.

QFT This!

Most people prefer to stuck with their faction permatanking tripple bcu 7 cruise cnr doing 800dps than reinvest into a golem.

Try comparing a Paladin to a Nightmare for pvp. No point using the t2 bs as the faction ship outclasses it. This is what needs to be looked at, as mauroders are pre-nerfed

@ everyone knowing sooo much about a ship that pretty much no one has even finished training to fly yet. Just because a ship doesn't look badass of EFT doesn't mean it's going to suck. Really though you don't even know how to use the ship yet. I don't either for that matter it's kind of unknown atm. The problem with them is that people expected them to be either superhacs or better versions of CNR's/navy megas. Clearly they are not that. How ever just because they aren't the "i win" button everyone expected doesnt mean they wont have their role in both pve and pvp. Train marauders lvl4, actually fly the ship before assuming it sucks.

As for the stall on the market, ofc that is to be expected. People have to train to fly them. The only people who own them now are really rich people who wanted something new to amuse them and producers of them. Most people wait a while before buying something like that when it first comes out. Everyone assumes the price will drop. People figure why buy now when i can wait two weeks and get em 100mill cheaper and have better skills to fly it?

Think about it like this. When dvd players first came out not many people rushed out and bought them, but now everyone has atleast one. The first of these ships hit the open market less than a week ago. Did everyone really expect people to all line up and buy them all out at 1.3bill the first couple days they were available?

If the black ops don't sell its only because they don't trust them to be safely bought. The black ops are the scariest ships i have ever seen. The stealth bomber had a limited role. On the other hand you can quite literally turn the black ops into ANY kind of ship. Mission runner? Sure thing no problem. Gate camper? With ease. High speed strike force commander? Yep that too. Front line fighter? Ohhh hell yeah. This is a ship thats going to be produced as much as possible but probably sold on a very small scale. And i cant blame them when you look at what one of those things can do. Covert ops have gone to a whole new level because of this class. Do not be surprised if you only ever see one or two of these in high sec. The black ops is one hell of a zero sec ship and its gonna be used there. The versatility of this ship can not be overstated.
