Keep hearing about how people are expecting/wanting battleship orbital bombardment.
IIRC orbital bombardment is outlawed in the lore, and eve ships cannot enter atmosphere due to the alloys being combustible in oxygen.
And that's ignoring that it would be game breaking for balance purposes
However It'd be nice if there was a tangible significant advantage to having a fleet/ships above a planet. even if its just resupply logistics. Battles for space around a planet while war is being fought on the ground should be commonplace.

Duh, read your chronicles, there are examples of orbital bombardment of Caldari Prime. --- Sol: A microwarp drive? In a battleship? Are you insane? They arenÆt built for this! Clear Skies - The Movie |

well in the DUST video there are 2 megathrons hovering at about 20,000 feet. Then one blows the other one up and everyone dies.

The ship that Fires the missiles is not a Mega. It has the Characteristic Caldari sensor probes on it. I didn't get my FacWar Medal so CCP Reset my Signature saying I didn't get it...way to go. |

Yeah, But these examples are many years ago in the lore, before the Yulai convention (Near certain its Yulai, but it might have a different name) was written. I've read my chronicles, I just can't be bothered to re-read them.
And if you guys think the post is pointless, Why are you bumping it to the top of the page?
Yeah the ships in atmo didn't look like anything existing, prehaps a hint of specially designed surface ships? More likely just in there for the publicity.

How exactly can you claim the ship seen at 0:26 mark is NOT a mega?
It's so obvious...

The ship at 26 looks like it might be a Condor bombing the tank with it's missiles, possibly rockets. The ship at 56 looks an awful lot like a Phoenix launching it's Torps and the ship at the end is definitely a Mega going boom. SCHALAC HAS SPOKEN |

I think you all are wrong and these are actually brand new air units for this "new" game. These are not the existing "space" ships.

You're all wrong. What your seeing is ship footage from Half Life 2 and CCP is going to get there asses sued for stealing Valves footage(tututut).

at 26 odd -Its too small, remember the Condor is the size of a 747, Since the missles didnt change in size much from launch to impact its safe to say it was at close range. Ergo its not an existing ship.
As for the ship at 56,

http://yfrog.com/0g62771603p
Here it is from the video, The shape doesnt match the blocky phoenix, it tapers in at the middle for a start. its not a phoenix. and this is ignoring that the ship in question is below the clouds, think about how big the phoenix is, if it was under the clouds it'd take up a lot more room.
I could continue on and on, but unfortunatly work calls, but I do not believe that any of the ships shown are eve flyable atm.

You recall wrongly. Aritcio Kor-Azor sent a dreadnought fleet to Liparer II to bombard it.

Ah, Linky? I know there's info on orbital bombardment in the chronicles, Is it set recently?
If I'm wrong then I'm wrong

I seriously doubt any bombardment is going to happen. At least not in the way of nuking the DUSTies off a planet. I don't think that would make fun gameplay for them :).

Do you know what the ceiling is on Intaki V? It might be an optical illusion much like how the moon gets smaller as it rises off of the horizon. To me it looks like a Dread. SCHALAC HAS SPOKEN |

It is bigger than a mega, blows the **** out of a mega and uses torps... Sounds like a dread to me. SCHALAC HAS SPOKEN |

Seconded. Trust me, Ive seen a mega a million times, I fly one. Why is it shooting missiles I do not know.
EDIT: Ill add this tidbit here as well: http://www.eveonline.com/bitmaps/pr/DUST514_WB_CommandPit.jpg In this pic above the table are grid shapes of what look like ships flying over planetary terrain. The shape on the right is definitely a thorax.
Im gonna go get me some screenies to prove my point now..
