New Mechanic - Battleships "Frigate Escape Bay"

lmao, so another 4 chars that we have to time to land after the fleet warps and/or gimp the fleet attacking the battleship, all while we have 10 thieves trying to take the bs loot

If it requires an inordinant amount of effort and difficulty we will. Only me and Kusion gank them, while already multiboxing 30 accounts. I’m sure as hell not going to be assed doing that crap, just going to not bother killing the pod anymore if that’s the case

Granted, it’s going to take a bit more effort, but still, can be done. Doesn’t necessarily have to be the person doing the gank on the battleship. Just get an unaffiliated third party involved to tackle and hold the frigate there, warp in, pop it, get the pod. I’m sure there are some players out there who will go that extra mile to extract maximum tears…

You mean a lot more effort

I can probably still trick some idiot into dueling me while bumping them

Not likely now that they warp in 3 minutes if I dont point them, but still, can be done

So now I have to get some guy to login when I’m on, not be bad and do everything perfectly (the timing will be super tight). Seems like a mountain of effort for something we could just do by pressing F1 F2 F3

I can already see the whines. Please CCP, let me carry ships in my Orca. Let us have an escape ship for our barges. I want to be able to undock a cruiser from my Venture when it gets popped…

Ya know, there are a LOT of crazy possibilities here!

“Yeah, I got his Hulk! Wait, how did he fit a Titan in there!!???”

I love this idea. Will make B.S. fleets interesting.

Would be a lot cooler if player could use that frigate at any given time not only when BS is destroyed, that would create a lot of new sandbox possibilities

There’s always someone. No matter what CCP does, there’s always someone complaining that it’s a waste of dev time. Doesn’t matter that other people say they like it. If it doesn’t appeal to you personally, then it’s a waste.

I think physical threaths are bannable offences. You should really refrain from them.

Nice use of the appeal to ridicule argumentative fallacy. :+1:

Here we go again. Please learn what “planning” means and adjust your vocabulaire before posting ■■■■ again.

It is shyte.

damn! Some expensive pieces of kit there!

Please get help. Please.

Erm… yes it was. It was unrelated and therefore “off of the rails” Like the posts of yours that follow regarding such wonderfully relevant things as “T3 cruiser in Hulk… kitty kitty” or the “infinite ship”.

Nice way of displaying complete and immediate hypocrisy. Gj. Lul.

Your theoretical musings would bear more weight if your last PvP hadn’t been over half a decade ago.

It’s kinda weird how many of the PvP chestbeaters here on the forums don’t actually do any PvP.

“Oh but my alt is a PvP masterpiece…”

Riiight.

Either way it goes down, mission runners will still lose their shiny, blinged-out L4 mission ship or incursion ship. The only thing that will change is they will have a slightly better chance to get away with their implants.

Is it just me that thinks this is retarded?
Or is this mechanic actually just ■■■■■■■ retarded?

It’s not just you. I see this as being an extremely niche thing. Doesn’t affect me either way, but yes, personally I think it’s retarded.

it’s good for memes.

Soon CCP will add red dot “you have frigate escape bay available”.
