Reduced cycle-time Siege module for Dreadnoughts (a la. Bastion)

PvP Gameplay Center Warfare & Tactics

Idea: introduce a new Bastion module specifically Dreadnoughts, or allow the current one to fit, which provides reduced bonuses compared to the full Siege module, but has a shorter cycle duration. This would enable new roles for more mobile dreadnoughts that can enter a grid, enter bastion with damage bonuses for a short duration (e.g. 2m compared to 5m for T2 Siege), and exit the grid shortly after applying damage.

Terrible idea.

The entire balance of a dread, especially a solo dread, is that it does zero damage outside of seige, and seige is a notable investment.

That seige needs to be an investment, a risk, for making use of a dread’s full damage.

If you want the seiged dread damage without the seige…that’s called a titan.

Carriers having too little time investment on grid doesn’t mean that dreads should be moved in that direction as well.

If you want to commit a dread to a fight, you will have to stay at least one full siege cycle. You will be able to deal lot of damage, but it has a risk.

It sounds like you want the benefits of using a dread without the risks of using a dread.
