2011-08-31 |  | Wondering About Marauders ? |  |
There is a dwindling pool of active players and marauders at least on RT seem to be one of the least popular choice if you have a paid account.
So i was wondering do you guys think giving some benefits to new marauders maybe only in RT a good idea ?
since i am not very sure how the other server`s marauder population is like.
Maybe a choice of starter booster package?
1. 1 billion credits
2. 2k U Fertile
3. 1 land U Spaziel
4. 50 STCs
maybe a new d class ship could be made to entice players to switch from guardians to marauders even when targets are becoming a scarcity? |

I`ve played Maru for five or six years now, and will `til the day I finally hang up my hat for good. And I can assure you, they need no additional perks. |

99+ day(s) ago | the Marauder race is cool banana`s = was alot easier and funner when there were more empires to hunt but tbh its easy enough to grab free borders at least twice a day from bored old players.. (no names) =)
Food is up and down, and will always be so but you can still make plenty enough $$.. Plunder Maru - what a joke thats pointless these days..
I`ve been a Maru in 3 seperate empires and the last time (my UW recently) was the weakest one of them all -- they really are a strong race BUT we could do with a more competitive build rate. Saying that, the D class ships are great and all ships are cheap as chips so can`t really complain..
Good suggestions Serperior..
To all other races - give it a try, Maru is a fun and challenging race to play =) |

99+ day(s) ago | I can see that marauders are a formidable empire especially with support since without support they can`t explore for borders
I also can see that marauders have a good array of no retail ships as compared to other races =)
Though i just felt that a lack of new players and a lack of willingness to play marauder from older players majority should signify that some how its neglected in some ways.
Similar to the point with Guardian empires , a unprecedented amount of them , is a clear indication something is not quite balance with them in some ways.
However =) i am fine if everyone don`t think marauders should have equal preference when a paid user restarts, i feel that will bring more diversity to the ranks |

99+ day(s) ago | with prices @ 7 food maru is lame and theres no skilled players left in the game who want to be plunder maru |

99+ day(s) ago | months ago when i went maru, within 8 hours i bought like $50bil worth of goods for free (i get lucky and tend to restart when a big empire desides to sell ALL their stock). having all that extra cash gave me no incentive to research or even build and empire i found it quite boring. i guess what i saying is the combination of a lot of 0 mineral ships and low up keep made the race seem to easy when you have over 10bil$ |

99+ day(s) ago | nerf guards nerf guards wy always whit nerf guards they got almost no income unless you get lucky cheat or uw and once you do go guard you can nolonger uw
guards are rank support thats what they are made for there there to smack people around not hunt or explore or get rich or have lots of colls or choices of ships or even colls kick but ships that build extra slow guards are ment to go up and down like a yoyo
ok now my rant done i like this idea |

99+ day(s) ago | marus are actually amazing. but people dont play them probably because you cant explore and there arent many targets out there. |
