> [@QuakeGod](#): > > That’s why you keep another 3 or 4 catalysts there who aren’t a part of the original gank to pop the frigate, and then their pod… lmao, so another 4 chars that we have to time to land after the fleet warps and/or gimp the fleet attacking the battleship, all while we have 10 thieves trying to take the bs loot > [@QuakeGod](#): > > I highly doubt that gankers will give up that easily. There are plenty of ways it can be done. They aren’t just going to pop the battleship and watch the pilot fly off unharmed in their frigate, implants intact… If it requires an inordinant amount of effort and difficulty we will. Only me and Kusion gank them, while already multiboxing 30 accounts. I’m sure as hell not going to be assed doing that crap, just going to not bother killing the pod anymore if that’s the case ---

Granted, it’s going to take a bit more effort, but still, can be done. Doesn’t necessarily have to be the person doing the gank on the battleship. Just get an unaffiliated third party involved to tackle and hold the frigate there, warp in, pop it, get the pod. I’m sure there are some players out there who will go that extra mile to extract maximum tears… ---

So now I have to get some guy to login when I’m on, not be bad and do everything perfectly (the timing will be super tight). Seems like a mountain of effort for something we could just do by pressing F1 F2 F3 ---

Would be a lot cooler if player could use that frigate at any given time not only when BS is destroyed, that would create a lot of new sandbox possibilities ---

Erm… yes it was. It was unrelated and therefore “off of the rails” Like the posts of yours that follow regarding such wonderfully relevant things as “T3 cruiser in Hulk… kitty kitty” or the “infinite ship”. Nice way of displaying complete and immediate hypocrisy. Gj. Lul. ---

Doesn’t necessarily have to be the person doing the gank on the battleship Your theoretical musings would bear more weight if your last PvP hadn’t been over half a decade ago. It’s kinda weird how many of the PvP chestbeaters here on the forums don’t actually do _any_ PvP. “Oh but my alt is a PvP masterpiece…” Riiight. ---

Either way it goes down, mission runners will still lose their shiny, blinged-out L4 mission ship or incursion ship. The only thing that will change is they will have a slightly better chance to get away with their implants. ---

it’s good for memes. Soon CCP will add red dot “you have frigate escape bay available”.
