Really? Capacity to nuke and overload all of the equipment and shields of targets in the massive vicinity of the OB radius.
That sounds very viable to me.

Capacity to nuke and overload all of the equipment and shields of targets in the massive vicinity of the OB radius. That sounds very viable to me. Viable? Come on, the Minmatar's favorite ammo according to the game is Depleted Uranium, it makes no sense why the Minmatar wouldn't use a more lethal round on the planet than EMP. Obviously nuclear is greatly exaggerated, obviously these nuclear rounds aren't doing as much damage in eve a you are worried they would do in dust. I'm simply debating the fact that (if not all races) minmatar should have more selection in the ammo type they provide for orbital. They need to rethink orbital ammo and make it universal across the board, probably could add a module specifically for orbital strikes, That would still give my thrasher it's guns plus I could swap the turret with the ob mod.
I very rarely see depleted uranium in the warzone. EMP tends to be what I see most off, and what I loot most of wrecked vessels.
Of course all races should have more choice in Ammo types but then again so far CCP has more important things to work on, that worrying about turret types on EVE ships considering only a very small player base of EVE pilots even care about us.
I can fly an races Destroyed to Tech II with turrets and ammo..... it didn't take that long to train.

Under descriptions of ammo depleted uranium is the most popular. EMP is not what I see the most of, as a minmatar PVP pilot, it's phased plasma, fusion, or barrage, maybe titanium sabot for frigs if I am flying a bigger ship. EMP is rarely used by PVP pilots since it's really only good against shields anyway. Phased Plasma mimics lasers and hybrid turrets in the sense it is thermal and kinetic, hence why people use it more than EMP.
Valid points and I agree with you. But the strike is far from useless.
Watching Gallenteans use that in FW a couple of days ago, just walking through the barrage......that was scary as hell.
