The Savage Battleship is a modified variant of the Ogre Battleship, utilized by the Marauders.

Note that Tier 7 ships (except dreadnoughts) have a fixed repair time which is not affected by equipment.

Strategy and Setup

Advantages

The Savage Battleship retains the advantages of the Ogre, designed for devastating targets with its large amount of weapon slots. Its Bloodlust ability also grants it increased Splash radius and damage as it continuously destroys targets.

It also has Void resistance, reducing damage taken from void weapons, as well as a large amount of counter chain and counter pierce, reducing the effectiveness of weapons like the Void Sai Missile or Void Epsilon ECHO Cannon.

Disadvantages

Like the Ogre, the Savage's max mass is a very large limiting factor when outfitting the ship, meaning players will have to sacrifice either durability or firepower to stay within the mass constraints of a fleet bay as well.

Being a Battleship, it is vulnerable to Cutters and Battlecruisers and will go down relatively quickly. It is also not as durable as the Lunatic Cruiser and it will go down much faster.

Trivia

All player ships had their Resurgence values modified as a result of the late February 2020 update.
The repair time of all Tier 7 ships apart from dreadnoughts has been standardized to a flat 2 hours (similar to existing Tier 8 ships) in the late September 2020 update.
