You wreck monster stacks late game with a stack of 80 Marauders. Fast, one fighter, great amounts of fire in groups of 15+, cheapest carrier there is, easy as heck to control.
Give it a try on FTU. I spam these right from the start.

That is true. However, I still prefer CR-90s as pathfinders because generally the first units you encounter are fighters.

Which is equally useless.

« on: January 12, 2017, 05:12:10 PM »Because they double as an early game carrier and antifighter, as well as potentially (and I use the word potentially very loosely) able to damage larger ships while having a population cost as 1.
Despite what I'm saying, I hate the marauder, and the only reason I know it's strengths is because I thought they were completely useless and sought to figure out what they could do through a series of tests.
