The Stargazer Cruiser is the Marauder version of the Trojan Cruiser, instead dealing Void Damage (including DoT) and having resistance to Void Damage.

Strategy and Setup

Advantages

The Stargazer Cruiser has all of the advantages of the Trojan Cruiser, being able to reposition itself and deal damage over time.

As a Marauder hull, its damage is effective against all player ships that are not of the Marauder faction, even Altairian ones, which cannot be said for the Trojan Cruiser.

Unlike other Marauder hulls, the Stargazer Cruiser already has 50% Void resistance at Mk I, which is only attained at Mk V for other ships.

Disadvantages

The converse is also true: the Stargazer Cruiser cannot deal much damage outside of Phase State just like the Trojan Cruiser and is less durable than the Lunatic Cruiser.

It is ineffective offensively against other Marauder ships due to their high resistance to Void Damage, and defensively against non-Marauder ships.

This ship, just like its Pharmakon base, lacks Counter Chain, Counter Pierce and Counter Ricochet and is hence vulnerable to weapons with the corresponding abilities.

Trivia

• The Stargazer Cruiser is the first Marauder ship to be based on the Pharmakon faction, and is consequently the first ship to deal Void DoT.
• The Stargazer Cruiser was named by the winner of the repair time efficiency contest for the Demise event.
• 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.
