FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

We will add the most common questions with answers from the development team here.

FRIGATE ESCAPE BAY DESIGN:

You can move it in and out as you wish, and the same cargo limitations that apply to ships in the SMA/SMB apply to the frigate bay

Hi folks!
So that you are aware of what is intended and whats not, here is the design of the Escape Bay feature, which should hopefully answer most of your questions

• A player is able to place one of a selected list of assembled frigates ( Frigate/Assault Frigate/Ewar Frigate/Logistics Frigate ) into the Escape Bay.
• The frigate’s cargo hold may only have the following items: Boosters, Charges, Nanite Paste, Ozone, Strontium, Subsystems
• All Battleships , Marauders , and Black Ops have the Escape Bay.
• Only 1 , assembled frigate can be placed into the Escape Bay at any time.
• Only frigates that you have the skills to fly can be placed into the Escape Bay.
• When the battleship is destroyed if the player has a frigate in the Escape Bay, the player will appear in space in the frigate instead of in a pod .
• Attempting to board an unpiloted Battleship with an empty Escape Bay in space while in a frigate, will board the battleship and place the frigate in the Escape Bay
• If the Escape Bay of the battleship is full, the player will board the battleship and leave the his/her frigate in space .
• The same will occur when attempting to board an empty battleship in space while having non-allowed cargo in the frigate .
• The fit of the frigate in the Escape Bay doesnt show up on Killmails , but the frigate itself does.
• You cannot place a Battleship with a Frigate in the Escape Bay into a Ship Maintenance Array/Bay.

If you are undocked in a BS with a frigate in the Escape Bay, when you choose to eject, you will eject in the frigate.
