Since the feedback forums are perpetually locked, I will ask here.
What’s the point of the federation navy bastion module? Overall the tech 1 bastion has better stats than the federation navy one.
Highest turret rate of fire, if this table is correct:

Each of the new faction bastions isn’t a straight improvement over T1 but has tradeoffs. The Federation Navy Bastion will reach the highest close up dps of them all, at cost of having the least range and lower defences.
Ty,
That table just saved me from using warpath intel on them.
On that note CCP, you really should look at rebalancing these things. I mean example. Blasters already have the worst range in the game but now you want to make it even worse? C’mon.
Nobody says you have to use blasters with the Federation Navy Bastion Module, right? Or did I misunderstand something?
Any turrets would benefit from the turret RoF bonus, you could use the Fed Navy Bastion on autocannons on a Vargur. I think even a Babaroga could get even more insane dps from using that bastion version.
With blasters you could also equip any of the others. Maybe not Caldari Navy because it has missile ROF and shield boost bonuses which aren’t really useful to a Kronos, but Imperial Navy doesn’t look bad nor does the Republic Fleet bastion look bad on a Kronos if you want less of a turret range debuff for increased damage.
If you are looking for range, yeah sure the Fed Navy is not that great, well none are except maybe Caldari if you are wanting turret range with stronger shield boosts. These are more for a DPS boost or a tank boost. Fed Navy is great for a Babaroga, Republic is great for buffer with a moderate increase in DPS, Caldari and Amarr are great for active tanks
