The Marauder is a Battlecruiser designed to be well-rounded.

Description

The Marauder is a small, nimble Battlecruiser with a balance of turret and spinal firepower and a heavy emphasis on Hull health.

Appearance

The interior is simple, with a teleporter pad that takes you into a room that has a carpet and a few screens as well as the pilot seat.

Strategy

Trivia

• The name of the ship used to have a space before it. That meant that players must add an extra space when using the :cost command. It also meant that the ship appears on the top of the "spawn ship" list because of alphabetical order. (this is probably fixed?)
• A Carrier called the Warlord has a design that looks very similar to this ship; also, a Fighter called the Harbinger, which is found exclusively on the Prometheus, shares a similar model.
• The Marauder has a slight resemblance to the Daedalus from Stargate, while the Warlord is almost identical to it.
