The Pilot should be able to choose a squad leader when they connect to the district.

The whole draw of dropping OB's from eve is to support your friends. You don't want to support random dudes in most cases. You earn a strike, you want your friend to have it.

In the case of an eve player just earning strikes for whomever... Let them pick a random squad guy if they don't know anyone in the match. They'll just be making some dust dude's day.


Also, WP-earned OB strikes should allow the eve player to shoot for the other squads too. The connecting to a specific squad leader in that regard should only apply to strikes that the eve players earn.

The more weapons the more damage. Go destroyer.

i am not involved with alliance leadership, you may want to talk to one of these dudes:

Please note that only agreements negotiated with the listed contacts are considered valid by Nulli Secunda. (You can confirm this by looking at our alliances ingame description)

If we were allowed to donate ISK to an OB fund and then advertise the district, time and ISK reward for securing the district we might could entice some pilots to risk a 20M ISK destroyer. If the pay out is 32 M ISK ( 2M per merc, 16 mercs) for a providing support no extra currency is needed and it would provide an ISK sink for DUST.

IFor Eve side get kill mails as well and have LP scale with the value destroyed?

In far future with Crest power I would like to see a miniature map pulled up for Eve players of the battle going on with icons and being able to lock a site on his own for a strike based on his team's intel or in a far much longer interval his own scanning tools.

and orbital EWAR support make it happen.
Tactical ECM - Jams hostile's tacnet in affected area over a period of time. Translucent Static field storm effect in area
Tactical Dampener - Lowers hostiles tacnet in affected area over a period of time. Pulsing downward rings surrounding the area.
Tactical Painter - Massively pings hostile positions in affected area over a period of time. Red Tinted area
Tactical Web - Slows vehicle movement down in affected area over a period of time. Heat Effect near ground with weak electrical current that only gets stronger if a vehicle enters the area effected.

CCP we have one Kind of OB strike in pub matches right now.
How about change the warbarge OB to the three OB strikes that eve pilots can use.
To give the pub matches a change of flavor.
It would be nice to call a EMP down and take everyones shields down with a different sound.I remember the terror I used to have at the presound of a orbital strike and I would run in terror.
How about let all Orbitals even in pub matches kill friend and foe..Bring back the terror CCP!

The more weapons the more damage. Go destroyer.

This is purely for PC:

Orbitals should get a contracts system. A Dust corp should be able to make a contract for clearance of an orbital. As I see it now there are two options: 1. contract the orbital strikes to any EVE player so anyone in EVE can pick up the contract and deliver the orbital. 2. contract the orbital strikes to an individual EVE player so only that person and his fleet can drop the orbital.

In the contract the following information should be present: Information about which corp issued the contract, information about who the corp that issued the contract is fighting, information about the system, planet and district the fight will take place on, the amount of ISK the EVE pilot will get for each successful strike/ kill. The time and date of the battle.

I highly disagree on removing the warbarge strikes as this will give players with EVE connection too big of a benefit, keep both and let the Dust player choose.

DISCLAIMER:
One of the other things we would like to do is make it so that NPC provided orbital strikes, the precision strike from the war barge, is only available in what is currently known as instant battles. That would mean that in in Factional Warfare and Planetary Conquest battles the only orbital support would be from EVE players. This is a pretty straight forward change but there is more we want to do.

DISCLAIMER: We would like to also make it so that EVE orbitals are NOT earned via war points. Orbitals in instant battles would still be earned via WP... unless we come up with something else but at this time we are currently not thinking of touching it. For EVE orbitals though we are looking at making it so that the EVE pilot earns the orbital strike by capturing a beacon above the district. This would work very much the same way Factional Warfare complex beacons work. Also very similar to how it worked for the Fanfest tournament.

DISCLAIMER: This idea however introduces a problem. Currently because it is squads that earn orbital strikes the squad leader gets to call it in. That is very well defined. If the EVE player earns the orbital strike who gets to call the strike in? There are several options to this.We are currently favouring the idea of giving it to the squad with the most war points, but as said above nothing is final at this point.
