Skaar-Mauler [Reforged]

HV, Core6 (95%), Unlock Level 20, Class 1

Medium tank, 4360 shield. Reforged Galaxy/Eden 1.8.


The Skaar Mauler is the bigger brother to my Skaar Cleaver. Whereas the Cleaver was designed to hide next to POI walls and relied on turrets to take down shields, the Mauler is designed for more manual combat tactics. While still small enough to hide under many POI walls, its larger size now accommodates 8 turret mounts, 2 laser cannons, 2 railguns, and a small oxygenated respawn bay with a clone chamber and trauma station. The stock turret layout is all miniguns, which will quickly deal with drones and ground troops while you use the fixed lasers and railguns to take out shields and turrets on the POI.

Space for two more advanced CPU extenders allows you to upgrade the turrets or fixed weapons as you desire. There are also a few armor-protected spots under the front of the hull for further shield or decoy upgrades if you choose.

As a medium tank it will be quite capable of taking out most unshielded or lightly-shielded POIs on planets up to about 2Gs of gravity. You may not be able to take on larger shielded POIs without upgrading the weapon loadout or using terrain and other cover to your advantage. The mixed combat and hardened steel hull is only strong enough to withstand a handful of explosive hits before you start losing critical components, so try to keep the shields up whenever possible. The nose is the most armored section, with the detector placed as a decoy in the front-left. If your detector gets destroyed, likely your laser cannons are next, and the shield and cockpit not much longer after that.

The rear cabin is oxygenated and features a clone chamber, trauma station, storage access, O2 station, and direct access to the cockpit. If you stand with your back to the open door you can deploy your drone and then use the drone to push yourself back inside the cabin so that the door will close to protect you.

Turrets and fixed weapons are tied to signal switches so that they work with the "Park Mode" switch. In park mode all thrusters and fixed weapons are turned off, allowing the ship to idle as a sentry turret while you are off looting a POI.
