Id love to see how this would work in Alliance Tournaments, if they ever brought it back. You see 7 battleships and destroy them and they go WHOOPS TIME FOR FRIGATES. ---

We should be able to get from battleship to battlecruiser to cruiser to destroyer to frigate to corvette to capsule, when ship blows up. Like matryoshka doll. ---

From titan to Capsule, yes. So Titan, then super, then regular carrier, then a dreadnought, then Battleship, battlecruiser, cruiser, destroyer, frigate, shuttle, then capsule. ---

A interesting idea. The enemy fleet better have dedicated destroyer support to counter the frigate threat as the larger ships will suddenly have trouble tracking a sudden swarm of small target signatures after their battleship hosts pop. ---

This is a huge nerf to titans. Sure, the titan can doomsday an entire armada of battleships, but then it will be faced with an unstoppabe swarm of frigates. ---

> [@Black\_Pedro](#): > > I like this. Something new, that will likely bring new gameplay. Nothing crazy here, but a refreshing twist on things. Might be niche, or might be enough to put more battleships in space. Agreed. I can’t predict where this might end up, but it’s new, it’s interesting, it provides for multiple uses, it benefits an under-utilized class, it’s not OP, and it doesn’t seem to benefit botters/AFKers in any way. Plus, it’s completely voluntary and flexible in usage. Sometimes players find ways to utilize changes like this in crazy new ways (which might be OP, might be broken, might just be fun); but at least it passes most of the basic “good idea vs. bad idea” tests. I agree with others that in most cases, it simply means you will lose a battleship _plus_ a frigate, but that’s not such a bad thing IMO.
