Should i buy Mauler??

It looks quite nice, and it’s my first premium ship, however i’m a bit concerned about it’s performance stability considering the recent nerfs to LRFs and what nerfs might come later.

 

In your opinion, is it a good decision to get the mauler or not?

Well it honestly depends on how able you are with the ship. Skillful players have shown that the ship is a monster. In the other hand, average players are free candies when flying a Mauler.

well it seems to promote an agressive playstyle, as in fly the ship like a guard.

not sure how it would feel as a jericho LRF

It’s a decent investment for invasion and PVE. PVP depends mostly on your ability and how as well as when you use it. It’s often never the issue of a ship not being good. It is more often the player expecting a ship designed for a specific roll, in this case a LRF, to fill the need of a different roll. Any ship you get can be the meanest ship on the field if used correctly at the correct time.

hmm, would you say the sawtooth is a better investment (assuming i can play the roles well)

If we’re talking about Tacklers, I would spend my money on a Panther without any doubt. It’s an amazing ship. If we’re talking only about Jericho, well, Sawtooth is more sexy, but I think Lance Bartle is good enough (specially considering it has 1 more Engine slot). You could save that GS and spend them on something else.

If you want free slots for Invasion, and you don’t want a Fed ship, Sawtooth is good for that. 

Mauler is powerful but not tanky. 

In fact most of those premiums ships are like that  : more firepower but less tanky. 

 

But forget about Sawtooth. Take a t5 premium ship if you can. 

Also take into consideration those premiums with casual ship model. 

actually i’m starting to consider i should just get two t3 premiums, the nukem and parallax.

any opinions about that decision as opposed to the mauler?

If you want to stay in t3 then those are both excellent ships. Well balanced so you can build therm in many different ways to suit your play style and adapt them as you change or get new ideas.

Whatever you choose, wait for a ship sale! 

So, you can buy parallax + nukem + mauler for the price of the mauler.

i just dunno when the next sale will be, and i cannot guarantee i’ll still be interested in the game when it does.

If you can’t guarantee you will be interested in the game by the next sale… then you shouldn’t be buying any ships at all.

I bought the Mauler a while back and I wish I hadn’t. It’s good for maximising PvE profits, but honestly you get plenty using regular T5 ships.

T4 Premiums are cursed by being T4, so I wouldn’t recommend any of those either (more wasted GS. :’( ).
