Orbital Strikes:

1. Race visual - Caldari missile strikes, Amarr laser, Gall charge (current style), Min projectile.

2. Laser targeting - Squad members could have the ability (maybe module? Maybe for Assault equipment spot) to laser point out targets for squad leader to drop. Also could highlight targets for other vehicles to?

3. Painter grenade - Similar to above, squad member trained in special Ops grenades and paint targets for orbital strikes and other vehicles.

4. Please add

I've never looked into these threads so I don't know if this idea has been thought of but what about an emp blast? It could be cheaper to get but only take out enemy equipment (uplinks...) in an orbital sized range. I know many times my squad has used an orbital to clear off uplinks on top of spires. I think this would be an interesting way compromise.

Nice, EMP blast for 1500 - I was thinking would remove all shields like the grenade does.. but off everything! And it should disable enemy equipment for a time. Or destroy it to! as you said above.

No @ EMP blast. I associate that with quick scoping. Which is associated with...

Eve market----> projectile ammunition-->bombardment-------> EMP: description is along the lines of ---large blast radious fast activation speed and destroys targets sheilds within the area.

there is an emp strike...

Yet and still I don't want EMP blasts in Dust. Don't like it. Cause if that's the case, the only thing working would be a rifle. Every thing we use, uses energy. Lets consider it before we say "oh this is cool!"

It would essentially give the team a free slaughter pass. The merc would have no choice but to hide. Can't drop a nanohive. Can't rep. Squad communication (which should be cut off if we talking about EMP blasts). If it's Ambush? Okay, maybe but if it's OMS, then supply depots are out of it. Domination and Skrimish? That means null cannons are offline. Why should either team be allowed to hack an objective? Now its just a Ambush match for the time being.

The only thing you would have is iron sights for a rifle and grenades. Not to mention that your dropsuit works on a PG and CPU grid and since weapons use PG, wouldn't that also be affected? It sounds game breaking to me.

So yea, a COD favorite shouldn't have any place here.

Also, a laser painter woudl be for a WInmatar Scout, as that's their kind of EWAR.

The Minmatar scout probably wouldn't use a laser painter, just light a fire in a barrel where u want the drop.

Missile were confrmed by Devs to be an inefficient means of deploying a strike to the surface because of missile travel time.... if they were to be implemented they would have to be by far the most punishing of all the strikes.

As long as the Minmatar one is them crashing a ship into the designated area (or at least parts) then I'll be happy

Wildlife bombardment - Monsters seek out 5 people and kill them.

Acid cloud - Damage over time to any units that venture into affected area + visibility hindered.

Something that kills even if people are in side of a building
It doesn't have to destroy the building just the people so I'm
thinking something like radiation. It can kill them slowly with
something like a bleeding effect with a big blast radius or
instantly but with a smaller blast radius.
