Where did I say Marauders were not subcap? Me saying there was no way ships below (sub) a capital (cap) could counter marauders before the nerf doesn’t mean that marauders are a capital, as I’m describing the other ships. A marauder also happens to be subcapital, but I didn’t need to state that as reasonable people would know that I’m not calling a marauder a capital. ---

As much as I’d like the Marauder (and heck, Black Ops while we’re wishing) shield/armor/hull bonuses back - I don’t think it’s going to happen. I wouldn’t mind the MJD bonus back. They **should** return the warp speed bonus at a bare minimum, though. ---

I think the marauder needs a nerf. ---

Well, as much as I’ll admit that **I’m** somewhat biased - you’re **definitely** biased. I could say that ganking needs to be repeatedly hit with a nerf bat (which would be biased). ---

Nah, they are selling back the fall-off via Faction Tracking computers with mixed stats. They bought BACK their game… it’s different this time… let’s hope! Lat’s hope human CSM will not try to push their terminal Agenda crippling gameplay as a result. ---

The New Faction Bastion is what they gave us… It’s what they gave us. Maybe next year they will give us Skirmish Faction Bastions that reduce Halo, increase speed and tracking and damage but no Static Battlestation… res increase or rep increase, rof increase, etc… Another good thing could happen to Marauder is if they gained the Commando ability to fit one Commando module… Even one commando slot together with mobility-tracvking faction Bastions would be nice on marauders, more options, more imprevedibility.. Shield or Armor burst to regain some lost resistance, Skirmish to boost mobility even more… Nano-Vargur would be a thing once again… At that point you would want the 100% plate bonus back if the “battlestation” Bastion would be no longer unique… Or push up the base res. so a Vanilla Marauder can get at least 150k EHP before any help, and a normal Bastion would pick it up to 300K EHP. CN Raven, Rattlesnake, Scorpion… all can get over 300k EHP… They are a bit slow in doing missions, maybe the Rock,Hyperion,Armageddon,Abaddon, could become the Commando Marauders in the future, just to taste the waters. Idk, just pouring down some ideas over a recent talk I had on -yt- ---
