Marauders: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''Marauders''' are T2 [[battleships]] designed to be damage dealers with a strong local tank. For that, they can fit the Bastion ~~Module~~ which doubles the rate of fire, the local repair amount, and improves resistance to damage and [[EWAR]], but at the same time has drawbacks such as making the ship immobile, not receiving remote repairs, and giving a [[Timers#Weapon_Timer|weapon timer]]. Besides that, they have additional strong hull bonuses: A 100% bonus to their corresponding weapon system means that their four hard points correspond to eight un-bonused weapon slots which are further improved by skill-dependent bonuses. The Paladin, Golem, and Kronos have a 7.5% bonus to their preferred local tank per marauder skill level which results in 37.5% with maximum skill. The Vargur receives a 5% per level bonus for both armor repairs and shield boosting, resulting in a 25% bonus to both at max skills. Further, they have a 70% reduction of the [[MJD]] reactivation delay which changes the delay from 180 seconds to 54. And tractor beams' range and velocity are doubled when fitted to Marauders. The four Marauders are:

The lock ranges are big even for battleships ranging from 105.3 km (Vargur) to 123.5 km (Golem). Also, their cargo capacity is relatively big with 1125 m³ (Paladin) to 1275 m³ (Kronos).

Marauders are very popular in a wide range of [[PvE]] activities. Some examples:

* They excel at full-clearing level 4 and level 5 [[security missions]] but there are usually better options for blitzing them.

* They excel at full-clearing level 4 and level 5 [[security missions]] but there are usually better options for [[blitzing]] them.

* They can run [[wormhole sites]] as high up as class 5.

* They can run nullsec [[combat sites]] - both anomalies and DED sites.
