Marauders received significant buffs in 2021 this includes explicit buffs in the Bastion of War update<ref>Bastion of War [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/bastions-of-war-new-update dev blog] and [https://www.eveonline.com/article/qo7pm1/patch-notes-version-19-01 patch notes]</ref> as well as implicit changes due to industry. This lead to huge popularity of Marauders in 2022 which makes people already speak of "Marauders in Space". | |||
The Bastion of War update doubled the damage output of Marauders while in bastion. | |||
Later in 2021, the industry changes<ref>A significant update to Industry [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/a-significant-update-to-industry dev blog] and [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-19-03#2021-04-27.1 patch notes]</ref> made big T1 hulls (battleships and capitals) significantly more expensive while Marauders were barely affected. At the end of 2021 ore amounts were increased this included moon ores.<ref>From Extraction to Production [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/from-extraction-to-production dev blog], [https://forums.eveonline.com/t/from-extraction-to-production-update/337887 forum post], and [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-19-11#2021-12-07.1 patch notes]</ref> This lead to a price decline in higher tier moon goo i.e. r64s and r32s. As a result the prices for T2 hulls including Marauders declined significantly. As of mid 2022 Marauders are at their lowest prices since 2016 usually costing a bit over one billion isk but the Kronos already dipping below that.<ref>See charts for marauders on the market website adam4eve: https://www.adam4eve.eu/price_chart.php?groupID=900</ref> The buff to battleships in general by adding the role bonus regarding plates, extenders, and bulkheads made Marauders so strong that they are even considered viable in big fleets. The addition of frigate escape bays before those changes are also especially helpful to Marauders as this gives a higher chance to save a pod with implants.<ref>See [[Battleships#History]]</ref> | |||
