I believe there is already some type of "Ion Orbital" already, which only takes out shields, but apparently it's completely useless and never used from what I gather.
It'd be cool if it operated like this:
One large pulse, rather than a rain of blasts, with a large blast radius which is able to pass through buildings. The pulse will deplete shields to zero, destroy equipment (hives/links), and temporarily disable vehicles/deplete shields. Anyone who is hit the blast would also have their radar scrambled for a short time. The effective radius will also be greater than a standard orbital, meaning you'll need to be more careful in the upcoming FW battles.
I think this would be a very viable option to use as an orbital, an give them some cool variety. |

That is definitely too OP

The way I envisioned it anyways, it would be effective enough simply with the ability to pass through wills, disable vehicles, potentially scramble radar, and disable shields. Let's not get carried away

Different situations require different solutions. And more variety isn't a bad thing. ... Which is exactly why I proposed a buff to the EMP strikes ...
