A change we didn’t know we needed, but will be interesting to test out on SiSi. If an Astero can drop and be \>2km away from the wreck and instantly cloak, that might be useful. Or if the frigate ejects at speed, like undocking from a station, that might be useful, etc. Will wait to see if this has any good use, but in any case EVE used to have weird mechanics, so o7 for bringing something back that is unexpected. ---

Even with bubbles… Perhaps you will get an extra chance to save your Implants. ---

Can’t be scared all your life. If you are that worried about losing your implants, I guess you shouldn’t have undocked and got into a fight then… ---

It wasn’t directed at you. It was a simple statement of fact. Number one rule of EVE. Don’t undock with something you can’t afford to lose. That applies to implants as well as ships and fittings. ---

Everyone except a total nub would do just that… 🤪 Now that I think of it, there is no way I would put a ship in that bay!

So what? Honestly - so fkn what? If I choose to put ships in my Orca or a Freighter or a BS, so what? That will be up to me to do or not. “I only carry things worth more than the ship I’m carrying them in” is a pretty dumb standpoint to try to argue from tbf. ---

Lol… your stabbed frigate has worse align time than a pod it gets into warp slower than a pod no matter what. The stabs don’t save you from the bubble so the bubble is laughing at you. Every day we run into stabbed frigates that think they are so smart for nerfing their ship by putting on stabs. I have about 300 warp stabs in my hangar not because I have ever bought one, but because they come from the wrecks of “creative” people like you whom say they know better. Funny enough my stack of stabs also is accompanied by a stack of salty hate mails from said stab fitters as well. ---
