DSCore: Marauder

An ancient testament to frugal ship design, the Marauder has been in production in one fashion or another for centuries. The simple design is unmatched in simplicity and maintenance, in many cases leaving environmental support to what the pilot can haul into his cockpit, in turn vastly increasing its demand amongst gearheads looking for a vessel which can be reliably tinkered without overwhelming fear of catastrophic failure. In fact, most 'standard' vessels of the class are simply hand downs which have undergone similar process.

One of the few true examples of a vessel that can reliably be purchased by virtually anyone with the credits in hand, the Marauder remains a rare, but not entirely uncommon, vessel to chance upon in the far reaches of space and Trade Lanes alike by pilots of all stripes.

Handling


Review (4.88)

Where to begin with this ship? Well, for starters, its maneuverability is scary. It can and will fly circles around most other ships except the Arrow and Rabisu for sure. The mounts go 1, 2, and 3 "up" on the left side, then 4, 5, and 6 "down" on the right, eg 1 and 6 are right next to each other in front, for those wanting symmetry at home. In exchange for never knowing the sweet embrace of a CODENAME, you have the ability to claim air superiority over the guy in the bigger Fighter simply because he can't hit you. Remember, to have pre-set messages taunting your opponent about it. Also, with the new updates to fighter weapons, if the other guy lets this thing get behind or around them, it's over. Class-7 doesn't look like much, but considering that it can strafe around pretty much anything, that's a whole lot of "not much". Just avoid anything with the words "Solaris", "Gunboat", and "Turret" in succession, and you should be able to murder pretty much any fighter that comes your way. You just need to needle their shields a bit before you can start a-hullbusting (If you really want to rub it in, get a Catapult missile to complement your 750 m/s and laugh at the foolish fool who tries to fight you when he's now facing down half-damage Hellfires from your otherwise unassuming fighter.)
