i have to agree with volt. almost every cap has 1 or 2 abilities that is lackluster. the Marza has 3 out of 4 abilites that are amazing 1 being the best ability in the game. buffing incendiary skills would make it far too powerful.

Let alone giving the ship 180 DPS to hull every second...

Hrm. I don't recall it bypassing shields. Doing so would make it way OP.

Well, I just came back from checking the actual file and I was incorrect.  It does have to go through shields.  All the same though, 90 DPS after mitigation as a passive upgrade is just too much.  I support just about everything else you said (although I think you nerfed the Jarrasul a little too much... which I'll explain after this.)

Its just that Power Surge, even after a 75% decrease in cooldown which yields an 80% increase in DPS which is active, this is just way too much.  This kind of passive would shred enemy forces.  If you knocked the damage down to 3 and the duration to 10, I'd go for it as a stackable, but as it stands, no.  This is just too much.  Here are the options I see as viable:

Option 1: Stackable [Passive]

Duration: 10

DPS: 1/2/3

Option 2: Stackable [Active]

Target Duration: 15

DPS: 3/4.5/6

Self Duration: 10/20/30 seconds

AM: 70

Option 3: Nonstackable [Passive]

Duration: 15

DPS: 15/22.5/30 

Oh peice of info I am not changing an ability from passive to active of vice vesa in my mod at all. Passives remain passives and actives actives. That's that.

I'd prefer not to, but the only real thing to do with Scramble Bombers is to make it into a mini-anima tempest. Just doesn't fit, nor do I like re-using the same ability.

If the majority of the community likes that though, I'd just change it back.

*sighs* I did not advocate getting adept drone anima over the halycon's other abilites at lower levels, much like you wouldn't pick animosity as a radiance's first ability early in the game. My point was that they have uses and can be VERY powerful when used correctly.

move the halycon next to carriers and rapture, easiest micro in the world

Well, thanks for using my idea.  Now that is resolved, I'll talk about the other things.

First off, I would like to see a boost in Gauss Cannon's damage.  Change it from 300/550/800 to 300/600/900.  That would be a slight buff without overdoing it.  Also, could you have the AM cost be 75/70/65 so it is more efficient as it goes higher.

Next...  About your buff to the Kortul...  You do realize that reducing the cooldown by 100% would cause the game to fire an infinite amount as the cooldown would be 0?  Doing so would yield an indefinite do-while loop which is synonymous with lock/crash.  The cooldown decrease increases damage exponentially.  Decreasing CD by say, 10% increases damage by say, 5%.  70% is about the break-even point.  Beyond 90%, it increases at a vastly accelerated rate.  If you decreased the cooldown by 99% you could multiply damage many times.  I'd say the max you could go is 90-92%.  Anything beyond that is going to make the Kortul a fleet shredder.

For the Nano nerf, I think you went a little too far...  Have the armor debuff be 1/3/5.  It is still lower overall, but not by much...

Anyways, how would the nano-nerf be over-doing it? It'd still kill most frigates in one shot.

My point was that it's absurd to call this the second holy trinity.  It's not easily accessible, it's not particularly powerful, it's not even worth keeping these capital ships together if their other benefits will be lost in doing so.  Yes, it's easy to keep them together, but my point was that the benefit isn't good enough to merit keeping them together.

Best case scenario is 8 * 3 extra strike craft for adept anima.  That's just under three extra squads, effectively one extra drone host.  That's best case scenario for a level 3 ability, which as far as I'm concerned is pathetic.  It requires a high level capital ship, and the ability is still heavily overshadowed by the other choices on the Halcyon.  This is why I recommended an overhaul to make it more useful for lower level capital ships.  It's not interesting when you have one "default" skill combination.

Well, that and the fact that you are only talking about two ships, so this would be the Holy Duo?  So...

I like most changes except for those for the Marauder. This ship looks fine on paper but it is only useful once every 20th game. Its abilities need to be redesigned to make them more useful more often.

Subversion should simply prevent anything from being built at that planet. Maybe all enemy SBs in the grav-well should be sabotaged so that they receive a small amount of damage and are briefly disabled.

Also, disintegration is not fine. It should ignore shields and/or shield mitigation. It is a channelled ability and it is slow so it should pack a big punch.

I'm with Juletron on this.  You may have to nerf the damage a bit, but it really should deal damage straight to the hull.

Iirc, a 100% debuff like in Subversion halves the buildrate, and 150% quarters it, correct? So 200% would stop it entirely?

I don't think so. I'm going out on a limb, but I think the way it works is like this. The formula is (100)/(100+X) where X is percentage. So 100% gives a build rate at half the normal build rate. 200 gives 1/3 the build rate. 450 (which is the highest I think you can go) puts it at a little less than 20% of the normal build rate.
