I suppose if you put your head in the sand or up your ass, and ignore the context of the conversation.

Scroll up - this topic went off of the rails looooonnnnnngggggg ago. With that in mind, this IS the context now.

What’s wrong? Still butthurt over earlier? Boo fkn hoo…

Damn my fleetphoon just became more than sexy.

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.

Wow…!!!

Alliance Tournaments.

Just because you shitposted, does not mean the full thread went off.
A simple fix being, that you get the ■■■■ out.

You were off the rails, what you quoted of his was not.

But I see from both your comments you live in some special reality :rofl:

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.

The Infinite Ship!!

Each ship holds a copy of itself.

This changes everything!! :roll_eyes:

Don’t forget a giant red dot on the side of the screen, along with a loud “GONG!” every time you switch ships…

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.

A swarm of 1 ship?

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.

Eve is dying again. :sob:

Awesome. I wonder if the frigate’s hold will be scannable.

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.
