you should probably add a * qualifier for those who don’t notice that fit uses over 3 bill of implants and fleet buff …
it doesnt matter if i get 30 or 60 seconds bastion in C5 site oO
yes you cant escape that fast but … if you are scammed by rats then you cant run anyway
does this patch change the C5 marauder ratting ? not at all. you still got the same tank, still got the same dps and e-war doesnt exist on C5 except of scram, web and neut but this is nothing new…
the only way its got nerfed was the PvP ability for bastioning your heavy tanked paladin and easy get reps after you survived the 30 seconds bastion timer. now you got 60 sec and this you cant survive ( very few situations you will )
Why do people like OP create new bad threads that are flame bait and then never return again. It doesn’t do well for the community rep.

You have to look at the average values here: Enemies don’t find you on average at the exact time your Bastion Timer starts, if it is 30seconds, you will have on average 15seconds left on the timer before you can warp out or hit your MJD and warp out from there (would be +9sec). But 24 seconds are almost impossible to find the exact Anomaly the Paladin is in, then warp a ship to it, land on grid, lock get in scramrange and put the scram on it (point doesn’t work, they will just MJD out). You have to be pretty lucky with the number of Anomalies, WarpRange and Skill of a Ceptor/Dictor Pilot to even have a chance for a tackle.
Now with 60seconds Bastion timer, that “tackle timeframe” increases to 39 Seconds on average (30+9), which is a nice shift towards a successful initial tackle (aka PvP content). In addtion a longer Bastion Timer makes the decision to enter another cycle a lot more important, both in PvE and PvP. Skillfull pilots can get a higher advantage over lazy people that just end Bastion when the Last NPC is gone, Skillful pilots can judge better when to enter bastion mode and when to stay in normal mode (yes Marauders still do like a 1000 DPS and can fight pretty well even out of bastion, with the benefit of receiving Logi support).
So, all in all a pretty good change.
