> [@Jess\_Redlips](#): > > Yea fun more killmails for bombers Yeah likely. Though if you are one of the poor unfortunates, _cough_ not me /s, that dies early in a fight, at least with this you can spread as much stuff on as many ships as possible and whore on killmails while you die the second time. CCP - helping keep the killboard green. ---

> [@QuakeGod](#): > > Watch, that will be part of it. You will be invulnerable for 30 seconds as long as you don’t move or issue any commands, just like undocking… I’m worried because to even get past square one in this stupidity there would need to be some way to prevent instant second death. Otherwise the idea would have no value. ---

So can the frigate only be boarded upon destruction or can we temporarily abandon the battleship to use the frigate? Would be nice to have a Covert Ops frigate for solo blops stuff… [Previous page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/new-mechanic-battleships-frigate-escape-bay/220995.md?page=6) [Next page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/new-mechanic-battleships-frigate-escape-bay/220995.md?page=8)
