I like the idea a lot. Carry a frig with smartbombs, and when your BS goes boom you blow the wreck, denying loot to the victor. Or a ship (e.g. Dramiel) with inertia mods for pod-like align time and a good AB / MWD combo to give you a chance to get out of a bubble before it pops, letting you save your pod.
The only time I plan to lose my ship is if I am suicide ganking someone. In all other scenarios, I may have a plan as to what to do in the eventuality my ship is destroyed. There’s a difference.
I buy insurance if, in my judgement, the risk of losing my ship is sufficiently high. If I don’t lose the ship, I’m out the insurance money but still ahead of the game compared to losing the ship.
Although it doesn’t happen that often, how would you like to have a close fight with a BS, kill it, but you are so low you are then killed by his frigate?
1 of 546098536093609378 reasons this is a dumb idea.
Frigate will need to be Ejected at high velocity past any bubbles in null sec otherwise there will be no flight or fight choice as advertised
You will just be giving two kills for the price of one for whoever has the biggest blob
On a more positive note are other ships gonna get this facility
It seems like it would be appropriate for any ships larger than BS as well
In fact you could have Titans that poop out SCs that poop out Carriers that poop out BS that poop out BC that poop out Cruisers that poop out dessys that poop out frigs that poop out corvettes that finally poop out eggs that poop out corpses of course , like Russian nested doll internet spaceships
I see CCP has given up on balancing battleships by letting them play a different ship upon death.
It’s a funny idea. Imagine if you played a low tier in other games, you would be able to play a second low-tier after your first one loses.
Now when battleship relevance is discussed “Well, they get to play a frigate afterwards!”
Despite battleships getting a 1s align time buff (I think), nerfs to booshing, and now a frigate, I somehow doubt their relevancy. T3/Triglavian/Faction stuff will always be king unless rebalances/major changes are made.
