Marauders Remodeled
Last updated April 2021. See you space cowboy…
A graphical* mod that replaces the default Marauder models with something more fitting their style and lore. Now centuries old spacebound warrior clans no longer use asteroids and scrap to make their ships. The designs are decaying mid-tech and brutalistic, but built using centuries of shipbuilding experience, culture, and practicality. Its got working turrets too, because everyone likes turrets for some reason.
THIS IS NOT AN EMPIRE SHIPSET. It does not contain nearly enough models to be made into one either, so I will not be making it into a shipset.
REQUIRES NEW GAME
Well not *really*, but if you load it into a game in progress PDX’s brilliant coding will use the pirate turrets on them. This is the same thing that causes the "menacing" ships to have a pirate hull yet your species turrets, leading to the occasional hilarious combination (Try Humanoid! Bring eye bleach).
This mod will not affect the appearance of pirate ships, only marauders. I will make a mod that replaces menacing ships with these if I can ever figure a way around turrets using empire GFX (The thing that causes the "menacing" ships to have a pirate hull yet your species turrets).
*Compatibility: Due to how PDX programmed marauders this mod is not very compatible with mods that modify them. It may still work, but i’ve had to overwrite way more common and event files than i’d like and thus give no promises. This is probably why you don’t see many mods for the marauders.
DISABLES ACHEVEMENTS, same as 99% of all mods for stellaris. If a mod does not explicitly state it is achevement compatible, it is safe to assume it is not.
I haven’t tested every event that spawns marauder ships yet so some events may give the marauders pirate ships or other weird stuff. Please report anything you notice.

He has improved greatly since he created these models long ago.
