I thought this was known. It is the good old “troll platoon” effect.

 

I have found this sometimes since the last patch.

Have not seen a thread with this in on either forum since the restriction was implemented

Doesn’t the patch note say:

 

“Pilots can no longer use ships, weaker than their most high-ranking ship. In game modes with a finite number of ships, such ships are considered destroyed and inaccessible to the pilot.”

 

The only game mode like that would be Beacon Capture. The screenshots are from Team Battle. Why is it expected that the rank restrictions would apply here?

 

You can’t use those ships in any game mode. In capture the beacon they are just unavailable as well, so they count as destroyed ships.
