Even though Bastion immobilizes the Marauder, the MJD bonus makes up for that. The MJD is ready for use again after 54 seconds which means less than two bastion cycles. This makes it possible to jump 100 km every 69 to 72 seconds (depending on MJD skill level) while being in bastion most of the time. This corresponds to roughly 1400 m/s. As a comparison a Machariel with a meta MWD fitted has a velocity of a bit over 1500 m/s (without extra modules or command bursts). This means that Marauders are actually fairly mobile for a battleship. | Even though Bastion immobilizes the Marauder, the MJD bonus makes up for that.

While the Bastion Module is similar to [[Industrial Core]]s, [[Force_Auxiliaries#The_Triage_Module|the Triage]], and especially [[Dreadnoughts#The_Siege_Module|the Siege module]], it doesn’t use any fuel. It also doesn’t require any capacitor. | While the Bastion Module is similar to [[Industrial Core]]s, [[Force_Auxiliaries#The_Triage_Module|the Triage]], and especially [[Dreadnoughts#The_Siege_Module|the Siege module]], it doesn’t use any fuel.
