It`s too good versus non guardian races (try keeping up with it`s buildrates - good luck!)

But it`s fares way too badly on guardian vs guardian matchups (due to K class)

Is there anyway we can balance this ship so that it`s effectiveness is not race-dependant?

I agree Freelancer, but the problem is that a lot of feds use Guards to help protect their UW`s, so how can they be given the rewards unless they are seperated from a UW attempt? This is strictly going with storyline, and we know how things in the GC/UC community usually are...messed up.
H HelmsDeep
@ matrix, but that is the thing, in the manual, Marauder is classified as Medium, not hard

@HelmsDeep - I think guards who help protect the server from UW`s should be rewarded with loyalty.... 100-250 loyalty rewarded. Maybe with a 7500 max loyalty (im sure some would complain thats to low & guards are already over powered.)

Just give diamond a wash and wax and throw in a pinstripe and she`s good as new );D

Theres a reason playing Maru is hard... you have to attack to get planets, use them up, then plunder and move on. This is the exact definition of `marauding` -- hence the race`s name. Story-wise, they might as well be Terrans who have abandoned their traditional starships and opted for those of their own design that suit their needs: large, powerful and cheap starships which they use to pound the snot out of those n00bs who happen to get in their way.

As for a Maru doing UW, why? This is not the race`s intent. They are pirates.

Guardians on the other hand are supposed to be protecting lesser races (Terrans, Miners). They protect (at a cost mind you) them from the likes of the infectious Viral 106, and the insidious Collective.

As for Collectives, they are like the Borg. Nuff said. And Virals might as well be the Flood from Halo. Epic battles and each one tries a UW to wipe out the other. Interesting stuff.

Id love to see some updates in the game. One thing that bugs me as being Guard is what is our incentive to play for? Other races have one- if they UW they get rewarded for doing so; but do us Guards have one? Lets try to get something Guards can play for. Other updates are ones that balance out the races a bit, and get more players to play the other races. Currently we have WAY too many Guardians being played and not nearly enough Marauders being played. Ive mentioned before in another post, why are Marauders a medium difficulty race, when they cant explore, can only hold 10 colonies, can die and dont have any good positive mods for making money? Other than the -50% for ag and ind, their best thing is plundering colonies- often though there isnt enough targets for Marauder players to go after, so I say cut down on the plundering colonies bonus, and allow them to explore using E class ships, (much like in UC) or certain E class ships, perhaps the ones least used now by Marauders. I dunno, they are just suggestions for a game I enjoy to play, would just like to see some `positive` changes in the right direction for a change.

and every one needs to remember what guards are disined for whe are support in the ranks whe go up and down breaking or supporting uw`s and fed alike whe can`t go boom or make real money

Well thats what opinions are for freelancer. athat being said in my op ion only real over powered race is Viral..they have the best ships in the game and still have great income...amongst uber list of other things ...and can UW...

>As far as the storyline updates though Exule had good start on them and if those not available to start with sure their are other jut as talented enough to whip up a great set of new missions and updates

@AoD

A) good point
B) Well, don`t put words in my mouth yet, I never said that it isn`t OP. However, the fact is that Diamond can only be matched by guard ships. Kinda ironic how it takes one guard ship to match the OP of another guard ship
C) I agree, that would be ideal. Many things need to be addressed (not only ship balance)
F Freelancer
This is my personal opinion again, you guys love my opinions anyways.

A.) Storyline is out of date, so really screw trying to keep guard in touch with the storyline or any race really.
B.) Guard is a race is overpowered already, your complaining about 1 ship that is far superior in BR to any other ship in the game, seriously?
C.) Really the the only thing i like to see is the races balanced back out again & updates hopefully lead to a change in the game & in the right direction.

It is fine as it is

Diamonds are slightly over powered i feel, anyone complaining about A.Miner bases, they have been modified accordingly , namely the Lakko with increased pr

Personally i feel the Diamonds pr should be slightly increased, same with scanner rating

Normal races are not meant to keep up with Guardian build races... that isn;t the point

Stack to defend accordingly and then punish on the retal
B Brotherhood
Absolutely correct Boudicca!!!! that`s why cant never seem to figure out where some complain about it think maybe they just don`t know the storyline of the game they playing..and not like the build rate or good ships don`t come without huge price so to speak...poorest race by far,super weak to missal..CANNOT finish game by UWing...really we should have better balance defense against all weapons which we don`t...if you full stack against stacked guard you have big chance to win using missile OR high rage heavy stack...sad our best defense against it is neutral but it is what it is..we deal with it no sense changing when efforts best served elsewhere for the game...play have fun and adjust :)

P.S they surly not OP by no means..
