Forgot to mention....

Carriers should get something similar for their fighters, an air strike. Obviously this would take a while longer than the bombardment and would at most damage structures, clear vehicles and infantry.

Supers get bombing runs that should be more destructive, capable of almost leveling buildings, ripping vehicles to shreds and incinerating infantry.

I say that if carriers get airstrikes then they need to not only be a swath of destruction but able to be shot down and for exachange of all that be able to be more precise and not hit friendlies as easy.

You want ordinarily uncontrollable Drone AI to all of a sudden be able to actually target things accurately and show signs of intelligence? Far too immersion breaking for me. I think they should have a 50% chance to attack the wrong team, 30% chance to just shoot themselves or crash into buildings and 20% chance to aim in the general direction of the opposing force. Make them more ( Drone like IMO )

Edit: Spelling

The tank, the remote repairers, all the buildings - in fact the surrounding area for miles around ought to be turned to glass after a volley from an Abaddon - you silly person

or should i say oght and lose the U seeing as Eve is going all yank.

I thought about that for fluff earlier. There is an effect from too much energy. By all rights, a bombardment cannon cannot have the same energy behind it as the spacial shots. Projectile or otherwize. If you shot at the atmosphere with a projectile or hybrid, the sheer physics of colliding with the atmosphere would destroy the shot before hitting ground. We can only assume that the laser energy would just disrupt everything too. They sorta touch on it in Templar One. So the guns for bombardment are not doing damage equal to that which hit our ships, but that is just so the shots reach ground.

We do less dmg because of concord...can't have capsulers glassing planets.


we fire nuclear artiallry at each other larger than any artillary ever fired.

I'm sorry if this was answered earlier, but by summer (with all those beta guys planetside), can we EvE folk be looking at bombarding planets in Inferno?

I heard something along the lines of it being for FW at start... but I'd love to try my hand in my little Seyllin, what with two Temperate planets and all.

Also we want to specifically offer a range of precision bombardments as well as the nuke it from orbit option depending on your objective for that district. Destroying everything should come with its disadvantages, even though its fracking awesome

Doomsday=Nuclear strike.

i dont really like the idea of limiting the ability for an orbital bombardment by the map on the ground

if players have the ability to perform an orbital strike nothing should stop them (given there are ways to defend against it without having own ships in space)


im totally cool with orbital strikes damaging or destroying those installations on the planets the players are fighting for (and want to keep)

Hi. I'm a n00b. Do we know what class(es) of ship will be able to use Orbital Bombardment? I ask because I want to know what skills I should be leveling in preparation for Dust. Thank you.
