Can multiple eve pilots connect to the same district to give mass orbital support? Let's say there are 4 squads with squad leaders that have 4 eve pilots connect to the district at the same time, 3 minutes in the eve pilots gain the orbitals. Could each squad leader then call in an orbital strike? What if you have 8 eve pilots? After the 3 minutes could you have 8 orbitals? Or is there a limit to the number of pilots that can connect to a district?

You get 1 orbital strike every 3 minutes if uncontested. More pilots does not make this go quicker or unlock additional strikes, but having more friends at the satellite will help make sure they don't get attacked by enemy pilots.

then ; only one orbital strike each 3 minute : if there is 3 squad, which squad leader is allowed to ask the strike ? the first who ask win ?
If the EvE pilot is allowed to refuse to do a strike, then if an EvE pilot who want to grief one faction come and connect to the district , he can deliver no strike at all ?
the first to connect to the district beacon is the "master of the Orbital strikes" for the whole match ? (for Faction A)
Then i bet that coming with 2 players one of each of the fighting faction , 1 to strike for faction A, the other to deny the possibility to call for strike for Faction B is a valid tactic ?

Pilot must stay within 2500m of the beacon still ? they are doomed to be sitting duck ? perhaps allowing more range could help them being able to defend a little bit more

Every 3mins a free OB with no risk

I hope that FW is changed in EVE but then again with 1 faction winning all the time any districts in the backwaters means the side which owns the backwater will be able to sit on the button uncontested for the whole match and whack in upto at least 6 OB if the match is 20min long

If WP isnt needed for this OB mechanic then its gonna suck

As smart has said, we need more info on how this is going to work eve side. Was it the alliance tournament or fanfest where they had the control a zone above the planet to be awarded strikes, this would be cool, do it like that!

CCP have spent so long implementing this stuff, alot of the EVE players (like myself) have given up!

So in other words, more then one pilot is just a waist...

No risk? There is always a risk of you losing your ship.

The Beacons where matches are taking place are visible to all players. Anyone can come and kill you while ur sat there. I found that the majority of people doing OBs seem to fit Warp stabs, which is fine you fit ur stabs. I can fit 2 scrams.

Not if the planet is in your backwater systems which you own anyways with next to no enemys in the next 5surrounding systems

This just isn't true. Neutrals (non fac war players) generally come in and out all the time, and if they see a district up there prob gonna warp to it,

Ok yea theres a few dead end out the way systems with less traffic. Not all the fac war battles will take place in these systems

What should happen is systems with more Plexing (eve pilots doing stuff in them) should come up more than the dead end systems with little or no plexing happening in them.

my sec status has been +5.0 for too long, when they update goes live in gonna go searching for people sat on districts, prob take an Assault frig thanks to the warp speed changes, no doubt I will have to be double scram fit to catch all you people who think Warp stabs are gonna save you.
