I am pretty sure a few people will be smiling when reading this thread but allright, here we go:
i don`t know if this has been discussed or suggested before and given the Marauders description and history it IS a race that survives through hunting and plundering thus keeping their planet count low. This is probably also the reason for why Marauders do not have a Starbase since they are not supposed to be defending but rather stay on a constant killingspree.
History though has showed that not all Marauder empires follow this specific type of living, some may have wanted to start and settle on colonies and give it a second chance :) making this race become a defending race aswell.
Its not much different to other races then that do result in being way more aggressive in game play but do have a Starbase.
So the suggestion is to rewrite one of the already existing low power marauder ships into a Starbase similar to the one Collectives have.
I do believe that for both, marauder horders and marauder plunderers this could open a whole new game style.
Id like to read thoughts, suggestions, laughs and alot of flaming... :P
cheers

99+ day(s) ago | Are there any Maru`s in this game that can plunder for income and fight above 5mil PR (daily) - cause i`ve been a low level Maru and then its possible but not all that fun...
I can`t really agree with you either Euthanasia - i`ve never really seen you above 50,000 PR perhaps this isn`t the correct thread for you mate? (see Newbie hunting 101)
Starbases for Maru? Nah! Rather give me faster build rate so that I can spam up to "Lordy" ranks...
All this talk of bananas and apples is making me hungry.. (should I plundered some clusters to survive?) =) |

99+ day(s) ago | what i play is my choice.and how i play it aswell. i dont judge your game play.
all this is just a suggestion, some may like it some not. nobody is whining about them..i ve been playing marauder over 440 days now without needing bases. and yes i am a banana that decided to turn into a pineapple.okey? |

99+ day(s) ago | collectives shouldnt have starbases, neither should maruarders. if they raise upkeep for maru which is a bad move they should then lower the agriculture percentile to compensate. maraurders are what they are non planet hording empires, because people choose to be otherwise should not even come into question.
im a pureist and the maru`s should stay maru like and should remain a hit and run race with good ships and low low upkeep. Just because people come up with "stories" to support their game style and all this BS about them wanting to settle down and start a colony is just hilarious.
what next bananas wanting to be apples, so they paint themselves green and put on some weight.....
surely ur missing the point of maru if you think they should have clusters.
if you want to produce food for a living become collective! |
OpusDei
99+ day(s) ago | ok then answer this one...they wanna raise upkeep for marus. and we know the only people who dont have a problem with maru upkeep are the agri hording marus. now since (according to the history again) marus dont usually hord but rely on plundering, the upkeep mod results insignificant (or have you seen a plunder maru climbing to max power?). just as ``insignificant`` as my proposal in this thread about starbases for the marus that do want to hord and need to defend aswell........ |

99+ day(s) ago | for what reason do d.maru have 4 bases then? |
Euthanasia
99+ day(s) ago | LMAO Collectives needing a new ship! Ha. keep the MoW your overpowered as it is!
In all honesty i cannot see the reason for maru having a starbase at all. Weve got good enough ships as it is. perhaps with the exception of a chemical damage ship but thats hardly needed.
What next? a scout! |

99+ day(s) ago | Indeed, it`d be nice to have a more usable ship than the MOW. Perhaps a 2nd ship with a similar build rate to the R Snow. |
Slavyzz
99+ day(s) ago | I just hope when the MoW leaves collectives get a new ship to fill the slot. |
Runnerman
99+ day(s) ago | if this option is implemtented i suggest the base be a Dclass so theres a mineral cost |
CounterCrazy
99+ day(s) ago | I didnt read anything but the title this time.
My only comment is if Maruader get starbases, dont make them cheap in upkeep to be abused by Maruaders & dont make them over powering, its ok if they look like Viral starbases with a 7 range & one modifier that has a -80 to -70% weakness & the others extremely high. |
