Scuttle Ship or Mass Recall

Post by PIEFROMHELL »

The post about scraping ships in the BC hangar motivated me to post a similar idea Ive had.
simply:

Scuttle Ship
- self destructs ship (SS) in a duration of 6 seconds countdown spent (real time) for a return of 50% of the cost of the ship. However within this 6 seconds, the ship cannot take any damage to shields or hull for this will cancel the ability.

or

Mass Recall
- a stock ability in the science console that can mass recall a small area (of about 4 miners huddled as close as they can be) to the BC for a cost of 5000 energy. This ability cooldown could be anywhere from 60 seconds to 3 minutes. I think 3 minutes seems more realistic. (so obviously this is costing more time than energy)


When your in a small ship and have zero energy to move and return to your (under fire) BC, Scuttle Ship would be convenient, but i could see how trolls would like to abuse this ability, and also, "a stupid and not worth it tactic", but you could farm the resource gain from emergency constructed miners and wraiths. Therefore, my variation solution, Mass Recall

What do yalls thinks? :)
