I think the war barge strike should stay in FW and PC, because it will allow a team in FW that (on the odd occasion) don't have a EVE ship in the sky allied with there faction during that match to be less disadvantaged, when the opposing team in the same match has an allied EVE ship they can use for precision strikes. It will also allow a pure DUST corporation in PC to be less disadvantaged if they don't have a EVE ship, when they are compared to the corporations that will have support from EVE players in PC. Thus pure DUST corporations will be able to compete in PC with other corporations that have members that also play EVE.
I think a squad on the ground should be required to have accumulated a certain amount of WP in addition to EVE players capturing a beacon before an orbital strike from an allied EVE ship can occur. When one squad reaches the WP requirement first (even if the EVE ship hasn't captured the beacon) that squad will be chosen by the game to be the first to choose the location for the orbital strike from the EVE ship. Then that same squad has to double its WP total from that point on to get to choose another orbital strike unless another squad meets the WP requirement first, (there EVE ship has to still have control of the beacon (during the time when the squad wants a orbital strike) for those strikes to occur). Other squads that reach there WP requirement after the first squad will be next to choose an orbital strike. Example:
WP requirement for an orbital strike is 1000 WP.
Squad 'A' had 1000 WP and chooses location for 1st EVE orbital strike at 5pm.
Squad 'B' had 500 WP at 5pm.
Squad 'A' had 1500 WP at 6pm.
Squad 'B' had 1000 WP at 6pm thus squad 'B' gets to choose the location for the 2nd EVE orbital strike.
Squad 'A' had 2500 WP at 7pm and is chosen by the game to decide the location for the 3rd EVE orbital strike.
Squad 'B' had 1500 WP at 7pm.
Squad 'C' had 1000 WP at 8pm and got to choose the location of the 4th EVE orbital strike.
Squad 'A' had 3000 WP at 8:01pm and got to choose the location of the next EVE orbital strike.
Squad 'B' had 2000 WP at 8:01pm as well thus they also chose a location for an EVE orbital strike.
The EVE ship fired 2 orbital strikes at 8:01pm simultaneously (at the same time).
If EVE ships and war barge strikes are meant to have a cooldown period after they fire then maybe, in the situation I described above, only squad 'C' would choose the location of the EVE ship orbital strike at 8pm, and squad 'A' and 'B' would choose locations for 2 war barge strikes instead, but the war barge would only fire at the location that squad 'A' had chosen because they had a larger WP total. |
