DUST Search - EVE Dev Blog: Orbital Strikes

Say five militia ships appear at a district beacon.

1. Will each of these earn their own orbital strike after waiting for their three minutes?
2. or is it the first one there starts the timer and then whoever shoots first at the end of the timer gets to actually achieve/shoot something?

Both dev blogs read like it's the first, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually the second.

Can both militia's orbit the same button at the same time and earn strikes? (assuming they don't shoot each other!)

Edit:
If you leave a timer after say, 1.5 minutes, does it restart from scratch when you warp back to it, pause or count down while it's empty?
Depending on the answer, can you count down an enemy timer having killed them or chased them away?

Number 2, a militia can only earn a single strike at a time.

Enemy militia showing up will pause the capturing at whatever time it was at. If you chase them away the timer first counts back to 0 if they had started capturing already, and then counts up the 3 minutes for your own side.

Yes the timer will pause if you warp away and resume if you come back.

That way, FW pilots could roam for battles, or pick up random opportunities to help out. Or pirates can lay in wait for said FW pilots. Did you consider this option?

This certainly puts a crimp in my tactic of hoarding 2 to 3 OBs until the last minute of the game and giving the other side some good news. Well played, CCP Nullabor. Well played.

Not looking to speed it up, just get some visibility and maybe a simple answer. It's really not a lot to ask considering a large chunk of players (scout class) are talking about staging a mass exodus. You'd think CCP would just give us an answer. The Scout Registry is the longest running thread with the most contributors and biggest follower base. It was created to raise scout crappiness awareness. Not a single blue tag to date...
Bethhy Ancient Exiles. Renegade Alliance 378	Posted - 2013.12.05 17:03:00 - [19] - Quote Awesome attempt at trying to get the EVE capsuleer's more involved with the DUST worlds. The connection of DUST to the EVE universe is the one unique feature of this game and the one DUST will find it's success from. Either that or remove AA and make this game what it was in chromosome again... where competition and death's where completely player skill based.

What would make someone stop connecting 100 ships then disconnecting and still being on the channel, IMHO this could result in a lagfest (you wouldn't like to have all local on your comms, would you? ;) There could be a valid lore reasons as to why comms with the district don't work when you're far away from the satellite. Frankly during the mass test I thought about that too, but if you need someone off grid you can always use a custom channel just right it is now. Being able to set a MOTD with info about other channels on the team chat for capsuleers to see would be a great remedy for not being able to stay on grid. Just my 0,02 PLN though.

Not as engaging an experience we hoped to provide, but a sort of placeholder first step as we introduced the system.'

Considering FF is now on, the tactical EMP, might be some of the safest rounds to use especially combined with the new anti armor weapons. Strip the shields then melt the armor.

Strip the shields then melt the armor. interesting. SL who are afraid of getting trolled into tks can call for TES for safety. still, it's going to be pretty difficult to use, as it requires your squad be standing really close to the strike zone to be ready to mop up. or if you're heavy armor, standing in the strike zone.... interesting thought but I'm not convinced yet.
