vasari strategy

so i understand the point of support capital ships like the dunov for tec and the revelation for the advent but is the antorak marauder very useful? I see people use it but it seems to be good for hit and run tactics because it speeds up your fleet but other than that is there any purpose.

 

One other question:

i was playing multiplayer the other day and some guy who was playing as vasari while i was tec was building vasari structures in my grav well and my ships were doing it.  unfortunately for him they built a media hub and spread my own culture so it actually helped me out despite the fact that it was ffa.

marauder is one of the bestship to save your ships if microed properly.

 

if you got few antoraks and repair bays or capable ships, no capship or any big ship will die as long you got antimatter.

 

i leave you to figure out why by yourself...

They're good for opening up a phase gate, getting your Egg to his home world, eating it, and getting it back home.

Marauder is really good in a rushing 1 v 1, since your cap ship never has to retreat as long as it has antimatter...or you could just keep your opponent's cap ship from retreating, trigger phase every time he warms up to jump, but there are better abilities for that one..

Innociv used Marauders all the time and he knew how to play a lil bit...Or did I just date myself?

Hmmm, this doesn't work.  Only you can build structures in your gravwell with your construction ships.  Maybe your opponent was building siege platforms with his Vasari Cap Dreadnought and you thought it was your ships?

You can also use Phase Out to shut down enemy capitals with annoying abilities (like the space whale's HP drain), but that tends to become a battle of who can click faster :P

little know facts abaut phased out hull.

 

It will drop the locks of enemy ships, causing them to ake nexst target in queue.

It will stop the damage from nanites/radiation bomb (not shure if that was fixed in 1.1)

You can heal while phased out if the heal is aplied BEFORE phasing out.

You cant move/phase jump while phased out.

You cant get any damage from enemy fire while phased out.

 

 

with this, all you need to do is use your imagination and find right aplication for it.

Well you see Marauders are amazing for many styles of strategy. The one that I find best is quick hit and run tactics. These ships do not have a lot of power in weapons but is the fastest cap ship in the game. Also it's abilities are very good at harrasing enemy possitions. These ships are very good with flak frigs because as fast as the Maraudes are they are not faster than squadrons. These ships were designed for guerilla warfare and therefore in a head to head fight it is advised to keep them in behind everyone else for support with the powerfull antimater abilities.
