Rather than having to get 2500 WP to earn an orbital, why not have it that EvE players can offer an orbital strike when A: they are in position and B: when their Orbital strike attack isn't on a cooldown (yes I'm suggesting rather than earning WP, have orbitals on cooldown)
My reason is thusly, If one side in PC is caning the other, then one side simply won't be getting Orbital support when it's probably needed most to turn the tide.
If Orbitals are on cooldown rather than being earned it means EvE players would have more involment in the fighting.
1. They'll have to communicate with the mercs on the ground to let them know that they have an OB waiting, however the ship would have to be in position to do so like it is now.
2. EvE players will have to try and give as much support as possible to Mercs if they want their corp to win or alliance to win.
3. EvE players will be fighting each other to not only be in position long enough to help with an Orbital strikes but also to keep enemy ships from being in position to give their side Orbital support. |

Use the system from fanfest tourny. Make orbitals require space superiority in FW and PC.
2500 WP for Orbital = fulfillment of white male power fantasy established for CoD kiddies. |

Much was discussed about these topics, if I may suggest a few threads:
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=100548&find=unread
Discuss ideas on how to make these changes and give more importance to the EVE side than just waiting for us to collect WP. Has some pretty nice stuff already suggested and discussed.

My own take on Orbital Strikes in public matches with why and how they should allow EVE players do them instead of using the war barge. |

Eve vs Warbarge
Time before firing
1 sec : up to 1 minute
Targeting
Instant : Instant
Damage:
Fixed : Based on the number of guns attached to the ship.
Damage effect-
Kinetic : Flux from hell/ MDs pissed off mother / Forge gun god (based on the ammo loadout)
The biggest problem with them is that the pilot can choose when to fire, and that the pilot does not have to fire at all.
Too unreliable and slow in a game were the changes are measured in .25 seconds. |

Problem or not it is the so called connection to EVE online we have right now. I'd rather have this connection working, even with all problems mentioned, than having a plain, dull mechanic like the war barge bombardment that we have now. And by making the players Orbital Strikes more powerful you may compensate somewhat for the extended delay. |

Participation from Eve players would mean so much more if OBs were only possible from them.
In the history of PC I'll bet the number of times a slightly more powerful OB turned the tide of a battle can be counted on on hand. |

Unless there is some huge change in incentives for Eve players the only way to see large scale participation in PC would be to change MH to high sec. |
