Quote:What do you think about removing war barge strikes from FW and PC?
Yes, this should happen. At the moment there is no need to get EVE player support during PC and FW battles, war barge strikes are quicker, just as effective and don't require as much hassle to call in. At the moment (in PC particularly) EVE players are shunned when orbitals are needed because of how simple war barge strikes are. If you remove war barge strikes then you will see more Dust/EVE cooperation, as Dust players would surely go out of their way to build relationships with EVE players just to get that off map support advantage.
Quote:What do you think about EVE players earning the orbital strike?
This should of happened to begin with. When Dust was first linked with Tranquility EVE players were eager to try out the orbital bombardment mechanics, but were confused as to why Dust players would not call them in. In reality Dust players were still earning 2500 war points to call in a strike, and even when they did they would just call in a precision strike anyway.
I think EVE players should be the ones who earn the orbital strike. The fact that you are putting yourself in danger by connecting to a district in EVE is bad enough (Once connected your location is broadcast to everyone who is in the same system) but the fact that you have to wait for Dust players to earn it is even worse. At times EVE players would have to wait ages to bombard a district because Dust players wouldn't have enough war points.
My corporation's alliance lost interest in providing us with bombardments soon after the start of planetary conquest because we never made enough war points in a match (We were inexperienced and got red lined.) Now when we ask if anyone would like to help us we get no response, or someone saying they are not interested.
If anything EVE players should earn the ability to orbital strike just by connection to a district, I'm fine with there being some sort of cool down for the EVE player before he can preform the next one, but the fact that you are making him wait for Dust players to get enough points while he is endangering himself is just pushing it.
Quote:What do you think about who should earn calling in the orbital strike?
I'm fine with the squad leaders calling in strikes at the moment, but in PC it would be useful if directors could assign one or two people to be the designated fire support players, pre battle. This way someone else could call in a strike while the squad leaders boss their squad around.
On a side note can we please give EVE players more of an indication that a battle is going on at a district, and who is winning? The explosions on the planet is nice and all, but it would be cool if there was some 3D HUD projected from the district like during the Fanfest tournament. |
