| Summary | 0002051: Marauders not so "maraud-y" lately | ||||
| Description | It used to be that 15-20 marauder dagger frigates was something to be terrified of - it would take a sizable force to bring them down, and you'd take heavy losses. Now it seems like dagger frigates pop so fast as to be laughable. Sure, their damage is high and their range is crazy, but a cap of Mark I fighters (or a cap of Mark I anything-else-I've-tried) pops 20-30 of them in a matter of seconds. It's a little anticlimactic to have the buzz bombs cause much more damage than the dagger frigates themselves... | ||||

* Marauders have been overhauled: ** Marauder BuzzBombs have had their speed increased from 82 to 60. Health increased 100x. Their armor rating and EMP-absorption have been removed, and they no longer explode themselves to deal area damage. They now fire area-of-effect grenades, instead. This is much, much scarier and more effective, as their firepower remains the same as before -- but is now something they can do over and over again. ** Marauder Dagger Frigates have had their speed increased from 20 to 60. Health increased 100x (it was very low in recent times, unintentionall so). * All marauders and resistance fighters are now immune to Attrition, being insta-killed, camouflaging, EMPs, gravity effects, shield boosting, munitions boosting, paralysis attacks, nuclear explosions, tractor beams, translocation, and black hole machines. They all also now include a radar dampening range of 4000. |

Wait, "Marauder BuzzBombs have had their speed increased from 82 to 60". Do you mean the other way around (60 to 86), or is this a new meaning for the word "increase" I haven't come across yet? :D |

I meant decreased -- whoops. Originally I'd increased it, then I made a bunch of other changes and decreased it instead, but missed that word. :) |
