| | | '''Marauders''' are T2 battleships designed to be damage dealer with a strong local tank. For that, they can fit the Bastion Module which doubles the rate of fire, the local repair amount, improves resistances to damage and EWAR, but at the same time has drawbacks such as making the ship immobile, not receiving remote repairs, and giving a weapon timer. Besides that they have additional strong hull bonuses. |
| Marauders are somewhat similar to small [[Dreadnoughts]]. Intended to fit a reduced number of extremely powerful weapons, and fight more as stationary nigh-immortal turrets than as starships. They are particularly efficient at activities such as high-end mission running, with their additional High slots (which cannot accept weapons) used for extended-range tractor beams and salvagers. Marauders also have bonuses to the cooldown on [[Micro jump drive|Micro Jump Drive]]s, allowing them to micro-jump much more often, and even use the module as their main form of mobility. They are expensive, though: unfitted Marauder hulls cost easily over a billion ISK.
| |
| | |
| The Marauders' most unique feature is that they can fit the [[Bastion Module]], a more defensive version of a Dreadnought's [[Siege#The Siege Module|Siege Module]]. The Bastion Module immobilizes the Marauder for 30 seconds, but grants improved weapon range, immunity to electronic warfare, and a spectacular bonus to damage resistance, local repair modules, and weapon fire rate. However, the Bastion module also prevents the Marauder from receiving remote repairs or capacitor transfers from allies, and does nothing to protect against hostile energy neutralizers (which can shut down the Marauder's local repair modules).
| |
| | |
| Marauders are predominantly used as solo-PvE ships, able to survive wave after wave of NPC forces, shrug off the damage, batter them down with their large weapons, and micro-jump frequently to dictate range. On the rare occasion when they are used in PvP, Marauders are most commonly flown either as solo juggernauts in small fights, or in very rare and specific fleet-support applications. The Minmatar Vargur is particularly favoured for PvP, because its capacitor-free projectile turrets make it more resistant to [[Capacitor warfare|capacitor warfare]], it can push autocannon DPS out to long ranges, and it can be made quite mobile for a battleship hull.
