Orbital strikes need reworking:
1. they should kill friend and foe alike
2. they should cost a lot of isk

I agree that Orbital Strikes need reworking. However, making them cost a lot of ISK would just doom them to the same fate as million dollar tanks and no one would use them except in Corp battles. The squad already has to earn it through WP.
I'd rather the squad leader need to throw out a beacon of some kind to mark the center of the blast. Currently, you just look for raspberries on the map and click. I'm pretty sure strikes team-killed in Corp battles, although they don't in pubs. So, in pubs, just point at a mass of targets a mile away and rack up half a dozen kills, leaving your teammates unscathed. |

Orbital strikes teamkilling is a hilariously bad idea and you have no idea how much more miserable you'd be from it.
Having them cost isk is more debatable. They do cost isk to do if you provide them from EVE, but the pubmatch strikes don't need EVE players. They still need you to earn 2500 WP to use though. |

Well, for me I think friendly fire should be enabled at 25% meaning that you don't take full team damage but you take enough to make it hurt and possibly kill you. That way people would not be using oribtals as a cheap way to grab objectives and such. |

Orbitals definitely need some re-working. But the fact is that they need to function very differently for Pub Matches than they do for PC battles. CCP has a fairly clear idea of what they want the OB's to be in the PC battles - the big link to EVE - requiring EVE pilot to help effect Dust districts. As for their role in the pub matches, that's very much up for debate. Whether it's worth using them as basically a form of killstreak reward or not
I'm starting to feel like the OB's should probably atleast be removed from the Ambush gametype. |

First off charging money for orbitals in pub matches would ruin the game and your a fucklng RE TARD.
most people cant afford to buy good suits let alone spending lots of isk on an orbital
Why not turn friendly fire on all the time.
Then i can shoot you and all the other stupid blue dots i see in the head when they are doing something stupid.
You think you die a lot now you wouldn't believe how much you would die if they did make orbitals kill you.
Id be throwing them on stupid groups of snipers in domination matches
Learn to earn war points like the rest of us and quit whining.

Instead of piling up insults, why don't you explain why you think it would ruin the game. There is literally no inteligent point made in your post, yet you call me 're tard'. Sounds more like your insecure about your own intelligence and worth. |

@thang
Ignore the troll posts. They belong under the bridge.
Second, read the new sticky threads on factional warfare posted by CCP Foxfour. They will turn on friendly fire in the coming fw revamp.
There is also talk of letting Eve players control the orbitals in factional warfare. |

I hope they don't but I seen that too. You think you die a lot now , your teammates can kill you now ??? I have to find another game to play NOW JUST BECAUSE of that. Half these people can't shoot straight and a lot just sit there shooting each other when clearly they have a enemy around them and I just can't and don't understand that. If they are so TOUGH why not shoot at them??? They would GLADLY shoot back and enjoy doing it. |

Why would it ruin the game you ask? Here are some examples.
#1
All of the big corps with hundreds of millions of isk will be buying tons of orbitals to use when ever they want giving them a huge advantage over anyone with less than 100 million isk. They have a WP system to keep it fair to the guys who don't make lots of money, whose corps don't participate in in PC battles. It gives everyone a fair chance to be able to use an orbital.
Secondly if orbitals were based on Isk alone who or what would stop people from bombarding the enemy with orbitals nonstop during a battle?
Just imagine it.
You spawn in to a random pub match your on the ground and your squad is just gathering up and calling in vehicles for the race to the objective. When BAM suddenly an orbital is dropped on your head (by some guy with 300 million isk to blow) blowing up all your vehicles and killing your entire squad and then some.
Ok that was cheap but he couldn't possibly afford to call in another one so soon. Oh wait yes he can because he has Hundreds of millions of isk to spend. second death withing a minute of playing the game.
Charging isk for orbitals would completely screw over the new guys and the less skilled and reward the richer even more than they do now.
Simply put it would make proto stomps so much worse that everyone would quit the game.
I admit i can't logically think of a good reason as to why friendly fire should not be on. However I do believe that it would impact the game negatively as they plan to turn friendly fire on in faction warfare leaving public matches as the only safe place where new players and players who do not wish to be subjected to friendly fire will have.
In my opinion if you want your orbitals to do friendly fire you should just play FW or PC. That way the people who do not wish to have friendly fire are happy and those who do want it are happy.
There insults aside you have my opinion on the matter.
Sometimes it makes me sad being smarter than everyone else |
