The Bastion is a Battlecruiser with lots of Turret firepower and health.
Template:Ship Infobox Template
Description
The Bastion is a heavy Battlecruiser that focuses on Turret firepower. Its main body features two large protruding thrusters and an elevated cockpit area with a rounded window. This ship's relatively high turret count makes it effective against smaller ships up through ships of its own class.
Interior
Once entering the Bastion, you will enter a small room with no interior but a single seat.
Advantages
- Variety of Turrets.
- No blind spots.
- Very high health.
- Large cargo hold for a Battlecruiser.
- Good for destroying small Ships.
- Great for beginners. As it's cheap for in cost, and teaches the basics of capital Ships.
- The Heavy Railgun can shoot at a long range (and has 8000 range), making this ship an exceptional siege weapon.
Disadvantages
- Below average speed.
- No Spinals.
- Though not a blind spot, the bottom is poorly defended.
- Out-gunned by the Hyron and (arguably) the Mjolnheimr; the Bastion has a very weak weapon armament, being worse than several Frigates thanks to the lack of spinals.
- Due to the way the ship is shaped you have to turn it to get it out of dock which can give time to enemy Ships to do damage.
Strategy
- Performs well as a support ship in sieges as it has many small Turrets to destroy incoming small Ships.
- Best used for attacking Ships below its size, as it has trouble with Ships of same class due to its inferior mobility causing it to be unable to escape easily.
- Against Battlecruisers, exploiting blind spots is your best bet against them.
- A great ship to bring to a siege as its Medium Railgun can shoot the base from a distance, then your small turrets and Point Defence Lasers can work on shredding defending ships such as Furies.
Version History
- In a older version it used to have a massive explosion upon death, which heavily damaged nearby Ships and destroyed base Turrets. This has since been fixed.
- Buffed in .64d to gain another Medium Laser and 100 more health in each stat.
- Medium Lasers replaced with Point Defense Laser and Long Range Laser in version .66b
- 1 Long Range Laser replaced with 1 Point Defense Laser in version .69e due to the Long Range Laser's removal from the game.
- 2 Point Defense Lasers changed to 2 Dual Medium Lasers and 1 Medium Railgun changed to 1 Heavy Railgun in version .73c10.
Trivia
- Named after a defensive architectural design built into medieval European castles. A Bastion protruded from a castle's walls, allowing defenders to attack from all angles.
- The Bastion was one of the most used ships in Galaxy Arcade before it received a gamepass in version .69d1
- The original Bastion model had an easter egg that includes a Gnome on a desk with a few pieces of blank paper.
- For a period of time the Bastion could not move or dock. The whole situation started with the gnome's hat falling off and preventing the ship from moving.
- The right console on the original model had some memes like the illuminati triangle on it.
