What happens if you self-destruct your Battleship ? Will you appear in the Frigate or not ? ---

I have to agree with you on this…While it sounds like a neat option, it’s actually pretty gimmicky. The only real option I see is making a very slippery Frig fit to save your implants. There would be no point in staying to fight so running is the only option. Short answer: Invest in implants! ---

Yes, I know this. That’s not the point. This “feature” they plan to implement is if your battleship blows up, you get magically whisked into a frigate instead of your pod. The Orca doesn’t have that feature. The ships that you carry inside the Orca go boom along with the Orca… ---

Ok, let me rephrase that then. Please CCP, let me carry an escape frigate in my Orca. There, is that better? ---

Anyways, this is only the beginning. If a battleship can carry an escape frigate, why not an Orca, or a Freighter, or a Rorqual, etc… ---

Jesus H effing Christ, I swear. I’m talking in context of this idea that CCP is wanting to implement. As in, when your ship blows up, you automatically get placed into an escape frigate. Yes, I know the Orca and Bowhead can carry ships… ---

You’re an idiot. Was that supposed to be some sort of “tough guy” thing? You’re terrible at being tough just like you’re terrible at not being a moron. Unlucky. But please do continue to “flex” on an internet game forum cos you fear reality. Sad times. Sadface 😢 ---

Anyway I don’t see how this is useful other than having faster ship to fly home after getting killed. Well maybe it can be usefull in fleet pvp roams so when the fleet member loses his battleship he can continue with frigate instead of returning to home. The only other situation I can see this useful is when you are in bubble. That frigate might get you at least out of the bubble and you might save your pod that way. Not really needed… ---
