The slot assignment is perfect.
On the Barghest this let's you run 3x BCUs, 1x DCU and 2 nanos or power diagnostics. If you use rigors and flares you'll still have a decent 5-slot tank for PvE, ie: 2x invulnerability, shield booster and 2 mission-specific hardeners. I'd rather have the utility high anyway for a cloak, neut, etc.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Nightmare base speed 94
Rattlesnake base speed 94
Nestor base speed 92

This thing will be fast as hell, coming in just barely behind a Mach (13 m/s slower)
Machs generally run a 2 slot tank with a DCU and end up near 100k hp with proper skills.


The Mordus BS will be just fine if you're not trying to go against its nature and brawl with it.


except most people armor tank machs these days for brawling/sniping. literally every pirate bs, can be somewhat supertanked and keep some functionality. this is my concern,

The lock range limitation on the Garmur is very intentional. It may actually not be enough to keep it from being too powerful but it was a tradeoff that helped justify how strong the ship is otherwise.


It has the slots to overcome that lock range limitation, and even yield a rig or midslot to boost lock range, it's still going to be even more powerful than the LML-bonused interceptors, which are already just about the strongest frigates in the game right now due to the combination of speed, point range, and weapon range.

Those things are pretty jaw breaking, do you really believe that a 10% scram range bonus isn't a mile ove the top?

Also that volley damage for cruiser/BC is IMO no good option. This will lead straight to an orthus scramming+webbing you from 22km while being able to inflict massive pain with each RLM-magazine - something I'd arguably would love to do to others, but I really dislike sitting on the receiving end. Cause those situations will be rather binary.

Simply the 50% scram range bonus seems to indicate a vastly superior power level compared to the cyna, not only cause missiles are better than projectiles...

The mach is better armour tanked due to the 7 lows.

The frigate and cruiser are perfect, but I'd reckon up the dmg bonus to 7.5 % or 10 % on the battleship.

I don't know what 'most people' you're talking about, I've seen and been in fleets of machs and generally speaking we simply make fun of people that armor tank their machs because it sucks so much of the awesome that is the Mach out of it.

This games risk averse population never ceases to amaze me though, so its possible that people are ruining a ship by tanking it the complete opposite of what its function dictates.

Fozzie putting together a blurb on where the BPCs will come from and I'll update OP with that soon. Short version is that they will be available for Mordu's Legion LP as well as off new NPCs in low sec.


Are there plans to add more mordus legion agents?

That or a damage application bonus. If you wanna fit rigors instead of extenders/resist screen better hope you dont get primaried i guess :/

You fly fleets of nano kiting SB machs, yeah right, good luck with that buddy, "most people" I ment lowsec pirate corps especially love to armor tank the mach.

We initially wanted to fill the Caldari/Minmatar faction gap, but the existing factions didn't really support that and adding story and assets for an entirely new faction wasn't practical.

While I do appreciate Mordu's Legion, what about the 6+ year old forum post about possibly having Equilibrium of Mankind as a faction? Their theme is Amarr ships with Shield and Hybrids, the same reasoning too was used that, it took too much time and work to get them into the game.

We already have a hybrid, projectile, 2 lasers, and 2 drone-based; see anything missing?

Those were originally planned as the Incursion faction but time constraints meant they couldn't produce the assets they needed so they went with Sansha because they already had assets for them available. Maybe Kuvakei gets taken over by EoM and we'll get the Incursions we all deserve.

Frig and cruiser look good (possibly too good), but the BS looks meh. 8.75 launchers and 50m3 drone bay doesn't exactly make for the missile DPS powerhouse I was hoping for.

TFI does better even without using guns. I am not impressed.

Plus, the scram range bonus is totally wasted in PvE. All of the other pirate BSes are really strong for PvE (which they need to be in order to get used a lot). These only being useful for PvP makes it kind of meh.

Caldari/Minmatar missiles/web range would've been 100x better, and would've avoided giving Gallente YET ANOTHER pirate faction, securing gallente ship skills as the best by far. Letting the lore lead the design is just a bad idea overall.

It could've easily been Mercenaries instead of Mordu's, which would've allowed that to work.

I am disappoint.

Shoehorning? Mordu's Legion are made up of Intaki Gallente defectors and Caldari in the backstory...
