This change should both improve the usability of single targeting weapons in RS especially, and give Fortify 
a new use case without making it too strong.
I think this is a new buff mechanic that can be explored outside of just fortify.
#Fortify decreases SWITCH TARGET DELAY

It should also be renamed to "focus" or something along those lines, to reflect that it is an offensive module and has nothing to do with defense.
Name ideas:
Overload, overpower, conquer

Would be interesting if it can enable more builds around underused weapons.
Ideally barrage. Sadly that would probably make CR even stronger at the same time in WS

fortify needs to make bs become actual fort

Barrage is actually really good in drs already it just can’t finish clearing or defend itself from spawns and I don’t see how this idea would fix that. The current meta will remain the meta until players decide it’s worth their time to work together rather than solo their individual zones

It used to give 70% damage reduction

Well, sucks to know

If you are a player who came to the game after DN was released understand that most of the things that people ask for used to be in the game and were removed @fathom gulch
dreamy trout
Or things not in the old game we want removed

Everyone always trying to change fortify. If we want change let's make it fortify the sector for all allies within it. Like enrich.
No combat module does
But we have discussed before, it cannot stop all ships people don't like when others have that control when it comes to allies haha
It could increase ship HP, or regen shields, possibly lower cooldowns IF it's not insane for ws as you upgrade maybe have that increase little
If cooldowns are a problem why not have the fortified sector influence all inside. Which then changes it completely like weapon amp
Or lower target switch is an option but alll those getting it seams cheesy
timid copper
Fortify should go back to what it was. Damage reduction which drew all fire onto 1 ship and allowed you to manuever.
It got changed to a wierd combo of EMP which used to freeze your ship in place and a damage booster
dreamy trout
It should but also motion fort sus would be wild
timid copper
The simple solution would be that motion shield and fortify wouldn't stack
dreamy trout
Would feel like that defeats the point then but yeah it would be a simple solution
bronze grotto
I mean, assuming fortify would still stop you, they naturally could not stack? No motion when you're not moving
dreamy trout
He said like old fort “Damage reduction which drew all fire onto 1 ship and allowed you to manuever.”
timid copper
New fortify is essentially a different module and a lot of the effect of fortify has been converted to motion shield
mental wind
The simple solution would be that motion shield and fortify wouldn't stack
it already doesnt stack

This is very interesting, I would love a passive or activated module that made single-target weapons more viable or even semi-broken

Old fort didn't stop movement as well?
Oops 🙈
dreamy trout
Nope that was the whole point you could switch target focus with it and then move away to reset lasers multiple times
bronze grotto
Yeah I'm dumb I used it extensively in rs6 with 2 veng ships
dreamy trout
I used it exclusively once in ws and never again. Never felt very good. I didn’t see the point when salvage more then kept me alive
bronze grotto
It's a mod that worked at lvl1 for I needed it for at the time (reset colos & secure veng trigger from the other ships).
It was a one of on a single bs but worked admirably for a "budget" loadout, up until enough levels into weapons/salvage etc allowed me to just overpower the sector
Hihi even have a clip from back then. Oh the nostalgia, I had such good fun in rs6 &co !

Never needed to reset laser/switch targets because barrage cleared so fast and salvage gave infinite hp
bronze grotto
I don't think I've ever seen a single barrage so early as rs6 tho
You would start to see the switch at around ~8, some outliers starting to use it in 7 and most waiting for 9
dreamy trout
It wasn’t good that early but people tried anyway. Dl was meta back when I was rs6

Some old fortify gameplay footage
@bronze grotto
Old Fortify and RR were my 2 favourite modules, I loved making RS tech work in PvP

i miss when i had to upgrade fort to do shield timing better (i am veng user)
timid copper
I still to this day have not used vengeance lol
I'm not even sure if I ever unlocked it
raven girder
I'm not even sure if I ever unlocked it
i was a laser main back in rs9, never used barrage 😂
timid copper
I loved laser in BLS and WS but it got outclassed badly by Barrage in RS
I made the switch from battery to Barrage in RS8 or 9, I can't remember exactly
misty prism
Some of my highest lvled mods i had before DN I havent touch :P
WAMP has its uses, the others i dont anticipate using
dreamy trout
Barrage is over 1k dps in bls
raven girder
except wamp, andreas did a very good job making the other 4 go from meta to...
bronze grotto
I'm playing barrage/wamp/EMP/tp for funsies in bls.
It's mean but simple; point ebs, delete. Or miss
