can we take items from the frigate, eg cap charges?
Like it! Curious to see how it gets used. It’s an interesting and novel idea.
So my Leshak can give birth to a Nergal? …
…
……
……. Cool…
You know Orcas have a ship maintenance bay and can carry assembled ships, right?
Seems pretty useless. First off, to use this, you are planning on losing the battleship. If you go into a fight planning to lose then you are already setting yourself up for failure. Then it’s not as if the surprise is going to be better than the initial ship lost. So you kill a BS and a surprise frigate comes out! If the enemy was stronger than you then a weak surprise isn’t going to suddenly turn the tide of battle. Blap you get 2 kill mails for the price of one.

Like this?
Bollocks.
"Should the Battleship be destroyed, instead of being ejected in your capsule and left helpless, you will launch immediately back into combat aboard your Frigate! "
So yes, you get to lose a battleship to gloriously appear in a surprise frigate!
Wormhole.: Scanning-Frigate …
Fleet Fight.: EWAR-Frigate, Logi-Frigate, Tackling-Frigate, …
High-Sec.: Travel-Frigate (to take with you, not necessarily for after exploding).
High-Sec-Fleet Fight.: . . . ? ? ? . . .
No, dumbass. You posted “you are planning on losing the battlship”. That statement is bollocks. If your BS is lost you can escape in a frigate and stay in the fight.
And if your BS is lost then your frigate is going to be a token KM to add on. I have never lost a BS and thought… “If only I had a frigate then the tide would be turned”. I have never fought against a fleet of BS and thought “Oh noez if they add a frigate instead of the BS I am killing I am doomed”. LOL.
But it doesnt change the fact your statement is bollocks … FFS!
Your surname means wanker in Portuguese. Very fitting
My statement is not bollocks. Id rather eject in a pod and die than a frigate and continue. That way I can reship into a new BS quicker without losing a frigate and pod in the middle of all that. The frigate step is a waste of time.
I can’t wait for the double killmails from each “imaginative” BS that comes our way. ![]()
So don’t load a ship in the bay?
You are not required to use the Mechanic.
Just don’t put a Frigate on the Bay.
No, it doesn’t.
FFS … the bollocks part is you stating you are PLANNING to lose the BS. You are NOT planning to lose it. You’re a top class idiot.
I likely won’t. I just don’t see it as some awesome new feature that is going to alter the game in a meaningful way. It is a largely token feature which won’t change much but sounds interesting on the surface.
