After getting to see it for the first time I was left underwhelmed specially since there are so many cool animations that could be done to/with that ship.

I get the feeling it was a rush job by CCP just to get it rolled out. Specially because it was not "ready" when CCP rolled out the rest of the bastion animations. If you recall they were all on the test server a while before the the one for the Paladin.

See for your self wait do you think?

Personally I would have liked to see something done with the first piece that "hangs" below the ships hull would be cool to have it fold ninety degrees and "merge" with the rest of the hull to fill in that first "gap" specially because there is almost the exact amount of space there for it to do just that.

So basically what you're saying is:

"The useless Bastion concept is awesome, I love it. A Seige mode Battleship with no valuable damage increase is the best concept ever introduced into EVE Online. What I don't like, is that it has a crappy paint job."

What the heck is this bastion crap I keep hearing about?

I just turned into an egg, did I level up? I spent an hour trying to salvage a wreck, when in local a guy said "Stop it, this is my Tempest, I was AFK"

An unrefined concept that will be absolutely amazing once CCP smooths it out, and works out its place in the world...

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

But it gets an enormous tank increase and application increase. You dont need to fit/activate bastion though if you dont like it.

I didn't really see a problem with the animation.

Still the animations are way better and sophisticated than for example triage or Siege modes, I don't get why people are whining.

Pulling back the engines and covering it with armor would make sense with immobility and increased tanking.

That's my problem with most of the bastions. They reveal something, not protect it.

Sure, shield sorta count, but armour tanks don't make much sense like that.

I was watching the video for about a minute waiting for the animation to start, then I realized I'd already missed it.

But what is it?

A module for Marauders that is similar to Siege module for Dreads or Triage module for Carriers. It immobilizes the ship while active, but gives bonuses to tank and weapon performance. It is available on the test server "Singularity" for testing purposes.

The paladins bastion mode made me squirt out a genuine LOL after seeing the amazing batmobile style Vargur armoed sails :)

Paladin basicly, turns 60 when you push the button, the balls suddenly drop to below its knees trolololol

weaksauce is weak! do not enter this sauce in the fair, for it is weak.

And that is what most will do, once they realize how awful it is, and such a waste.
And what is left is a nerfed ship compared to the current TQ version, especially in the case of the armour Marauders.
