The immobilization of the Bastion Module can be circumvented by using a [[Micro Jump Drive]]. As Marauders all feature reduced Micro Jump Drive cooldowns (54 seconds, versus the normal 180 seconds), a Marauder can activate their Micro Jump Drive as soon as its cooldown expires, allow the Bastion Module to de-activate, jump away, and then re-activate the Bastion module on arrival. This allows a Marauder to move and re-position, without losing Bastion's defensive bonuses. 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 forcibly moved around by friendly (or hostile) jump destroyers.

The update to the Bastion Module that came in Patch 19.06 removed the Bastion Module's complete immunity to electronic warfare (downgrading it to merely 50% resistance), including, explicitly, ECM. However, ECM functions by temporarily reducing a ship's max target lock count to 0. This target lock reduction is forcibly overridden by the Bastion Module setting max target lock count to 13; and as a result, ECM jams will appear to be successful (both the jamming ship and the Marauder will see the message of the jam landing), but the jam will in fact have no effect on the Marauder. This target lock count override also applies to the Dazh Liminality Locus penalties in [[Pochven]]; Marauders in Bastion will still have 13 target locks.
