The person boarding the frig is the person losing their BS, unless you can dock and remove the ship and trade it to the tackle person.

They are not trolling, they are ■■■■■■■ imbeciles.

@Algathas why are you even still here?
At this point, all you’re doing is screaming “I DON’T LIKE THIS CHANGE, STOP LIKING THIS CHANGE!”

It will make for some even juicier high sec battleship gank killmails in Uedama….

Sorry you can’t handle that some people can see this feature for what it is. A bauble. I don’t care if anyone likes it or not, but this new feature is not going to suddenly make BS more used than they already are or cause any huge change in anything. You can have delusions of some “master plan” to use the surprise frigate swarm that comes out of the BS when they die, but that’s all it is is a delusion.

Like I said, I welcome the “creative” people to bring a free frig KM with every BS they field.

Bro, all frigates warp FASTER than a pod…

All frigates get into warp SLOWER than a pod. Learn the game. Speed in warp is not the same as speed getting into warp.

You aren’t warping anywhere anyway if you’re caught in a bubble…

I never knew I wanted this.

Oh wait… I don’t…

Other than for wormholers to have a backup ship in a fight, I don’t see how this is at all practically useful.

Your frigate is just going to die to the next wave of bombers. Or it’s a free extra kill for the gank squad that just nabbed your BS.

This is so marginally situational that it’s baffling that CCP wasted time on this idea when there are literally thousands of other things they could be fixing or implementing.

It almost seems like they actively try to avoid doing things players ask for. Like have meetings about what they can add to the game that literally nobody wants.

Nobody say anything about fixing sov mechanics or citadel spam for the next year or three and maybe CCP will forget players have been begging for changes to these mechanics and think they had a unique idea to fix them.

This is a really nice addition - absolutely love the idea.
I don’t even think it would be too bad allowing covert ops as well - can’t cloak right next to a wreck. Banning Ceptors is ok i guess or escaping with shiny pods would be too easy.

I’m sure they don’t allow covert ops because upon losing a BS, you could cyno in a support fleet. It would make bait BS great again.

Team Talos is ment to do smaller things like this - at least we get to see something new every couple of weeks and i really like this one. Having all devs focus only on those big systems would be pretty dull…
IMO they should prioritise fixing sov and fw over messing with the economy but thats a different topic really. Don’t hate on Talos - right now they’re doing a better job than anyone else at CCP.

You’re probably right. Now i love the idea even more actually - sad thing CCP hates cynos :frowning:

The question is whether a venture can fit in the frigate escape bay. If it can then you could drop using the escape venture.
