Like it! Curious to see how it gets used. It’s an interesting and novel idea. ---

Seems pretty useless. First off, to use this, you are planning on losing the battleship. If you go into a fight planning to lose then you are already setting yourself up for failure. Then it’s not as if the surprise is going to be better than the initial ship lost. So you kill a BS and a surprise frigate comes out! If the enemy was stronger than you then a weak surprise isn’t going to suddenly turn the tide of battle. Blap you get 2 kill mails for the price of one. ---

> [@Steeve\_In-disguise](#): > > So don’t load a ship in the bay? I likely won’t. I just don’t see it as some awesome new feature that is going to alter the game in a meaningful way. It is a largely token feature which won’t change much but sounds interesting on the surface.
