That should just be for the fact that you paid real money for them. the free repair is just like the +20%
It adds nothing.

So you want Pay 2 Win.

Indeed, the whole thread is a desperate cry of P2W ships in T5. Even worse, P2W T5 custom made ship for a single player taste… Crazy, isn’t?
I would like, for once, to not have a gs ship that is weaker than the lowliest of its ship line.
It’s not pay2win. It’s either pay 2 win sooner, or, simply, pay to have another one of your favorite ships.
It’s T5, so everyone has 4 ships. It’s not like I’d be gaining a 5th.
As for the Mauler, they did a good job with it.
The Jericho LRF’s are actually more Medium range. They deserve more shielding.
I like the fact that they got rid of the hull. It’s Jericho, shield all the way.
At the same time, though, too much cpu. some of that would be better used elsewhere.
Jericho ships are not for critical types.
So, even bringing in 1 hull and taking down 1 cpu would make it better for energy reasons.
(currently testing out the Mauler)
Needs more shield slots/1 hull slot while lessening the cpu/engine slots. the archdragon is able to have over 26k hull and still have decent defense.
The Mauler is an exception because it’s rank 13. It have a unique design an lower stats/Implant than other LRF you can normly get by farming.
Just to give you an idea : Dragon = Mauler < Inquisitor AE (= or <) Archdragon (with the actual mechanics).
Atualy, this is not true
Due to module layout Mauler doesnt have much flexebility in build BUT it compensated greatly with passive bonuses to tank and dmg
If you take a closer look its hull and shield pool is off the charts comparing to other LRFs, yes no access to r14 and r15 but those are mostly Defensive implants (I still prefer r15 federation as best r15) and in the same time it is the only ship that has:
-
6x gun points
-
3x Capacitor slots
-
3x CPU slots
-
On top of that it has extra build in 5% crit and 20% Crit dmg (it is not much but it adds up and shouldn’t be ignored)
Currently This ship has a potential to be a ship with highests DPS in the game
For one it is best PvE farming ship 
-
Due to be premium it generates more credits as a reward after the game than any other t5 ship in the game
-
If you wipe out with randoms in PvP you dont pay repair costs wich are 40k+ per death
-
It generates synergy that you can transfer to other ships (it is not much BUT it is much more than what you get on Free ships)
-
Due to pure DPS build you make farming faster
Remember when we asked if there are going to be T5 Premiums and they said “No, because it is end game, bla bla”
Well, I expect full set of T5 P2W ships in few months.
@Kyostan : Only 2 Shield slots and No armor Slot.
PewPew BOOM Mauler

Look at the slots, and look at the name. It is meant to maul opponents. Look at it’s bonus’, 5% increased crit chance, 20% increased crit damage. Triple pulse dischargers plus dual infrared with one target tracking coprocessor would create evil DPS. It’s designed to be a gunboat, not an LRF.

35% More Shield Pool
35% More Hull pool
Just have to use Multiphase and Nanocomposites smartly to compensate
and you have 2 shield slots on top of 18k of shield pool
This ship as tanky as other Jericho LRFs, biggest difference is R14 implant, but if Mauler would have had access to R14 implant with same bonuses it has now, it would-be clear pay to win ship and be overwhelmingly better than any other Jericho LRF

If that was so easy.

The whole point of a Mauler is 3x CPU and 3x Capacitor on the same ship
If that was so easy.
It actually IS, the only ship that is comparable to is R14 Jericho LRF (Empire vs Jericho is completely different discussion and has nothing to do with what i am talking about here)
If you compare module by module and bonus by bonus
Mauler is tankier, if you ignore r14 implant, but have a huge utility flexibility with 3x capacitor slot
When you take r14 into consideration Inquisitor is tankier due to the implant effect, but still has less utility/possible dmg output
So if you move a mauler in the state it is right now into r14 it will be considerably better than a free version
As much as i would like one, just no.
