@Booface There are instructions how to mod at the atomic torch forums. Modifying an existing ship is reallly easy. basicallly you edit the xml and repackage the mod.

awsome ship bro, how do you mod it i would like to have this ship with t1 energy weapons in place of the t2 ballistics but cant seem to figure out how to change it. would really appreciate if someone could help me out.

When I saw this i thought of the marauder missle frigate from star wars empire at war, the thumbnail even looks like it.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I have to say that this ships kicks ass. As I got to level 30 and was finally able to buy a light cruiser, I wasnt too crazy about any of those offered for sale. None were meant to be energy weapon ships. This ship lets me keep my energy weapons. I put 2 ion cannons on this thing and its awesome enough that I can get by without my ballistic hardpoints - Still playing with those and figuring out whats best as I've been ignoring ballistic weapons since I started playing this game. The ion cannons even make up for losing my ability to literally run circles around larger enemy ships in my Avalanche Mk2.

Nice ship.

@Ioudent2 That's true but if you take a look at the action on the Hammer's turrets and it's ramming bonuses it's pretty obvious it's meant more as a battering ram than a gunship. I don't like the thing, personally. That said I got the Death Bringer and I find not running out of ballistic ammo on long trips quite refreshing. Just had to save up a ton to get the Dark Matter Generator and some decent forward cannons. Now if there was a LASER shotgun... ;)

Thank you!

@itchy42: I'll probably do treatment on various ships but heavy cruisers already have a laser/ballistic ship. It's called the Hammer: http://wiki.atomictorch.com/VoidExpanse/Ships/Hammer

@Ceo: Yeah, I had t the same issue. The game randomly seeds items in different stations. I had a hard time tracking it down myself.

Dude I love this ship! I wasn't attracted to any of the light cruisers before I even had the skill to pilot them so I grabbed this as soon as I saw it. With the quad thrusters, the advanced combat engine, and a few skill points in the right places the Marauder behaves like a heavy frigate with a ton of health :). Any chance you might do something similar with a heavy cruiser? The Death Bringer is mighty appealing but I sure wish the static mounts were ballistic so I could continue using my beam laser / dual shotgun combo ;)

Just wanted to update: After spending about 2 hours playing in Order space and not seeing a Marauder, I decided to take a trip to Feedom space. First starport, bang, there it was, a Marauder for 29k.

Hi Mate, I, like you was annoyed by the lack of a beam varient light cruiser. I tried all of them and really just hated that tier and stopped playing as a result. Finding this was a stroke of good luck.

I've installed it, enabled it within the game and exited the game. Checking to see if it's in the mod section shows that it is. I've now checked at least 20 stations, including exiting and reloading the game. Sadly I cannot find the Marauder at all, does it show up normally in the shop or is there something else I need to do?

Thanks!

thanks,I do ti

thanks, was a long night. Missed the typo
