Marauders: Difference between revisions

Line 33:

In effect, the module turns the marauder into a stationary turret and one-ship army, making the marauder a long ranged, rapid fire, extremely resilient platform to stand alone versus a small fleet. However, because it blocks all remote assistance, it forces the marauder to stand and fight alone. Furthermore, while the Bastion Module makes the marauder highly resistant to most forms of electronic warfare, it offers no resistance to [[Capacitor Warfare|Energy Neutralizers]], which can drain the ship's capacitor, shut down its local repair systems, and leave it dead in the water.

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 one bastion cycle. 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.

Interestingly, while a Micro Jump Drive will not function while the Bastion Module is active, the [[Micro Jump Field Generator]] of a [[Command Destroyer]] is not blocked, and so bastioned marauders can still be booshed around.
