Sure I do.

We missing in Dust God-like bug hunters, that can spawn things for purpose of testing some mechanic and can work with EVE bug hunters that test things on SISI server.

I am not entirely sure what you just said, elaborate?

I mean group of people that can test things before they are released to public with same ones that do it with EVE for CCP.

PC broke, let it go

Can't, it's the only thing keeping me in Dust.

Apart from your ugly mug, of course

& the coms bug.

According to CPM Hans, the isk generation of BPOs makes PC isk generation look like abject poverty.

I generally trust Hans, but I really want to see those numbers and how they were derived before I'm willing to accept that particular statement. I'm not a math genius and I clearly don't have CCP or CPM level access, but based on what I do have access to I simply cannot see how that adds up within the current game state.

+1 OP, I'm all for "adapt or die" but some things are just lopsided and need to be refined, this case seems like one of them.

I don't know if this is working as intended for CCP and the rest of the PC playing community seems less vocal about it so hey what the heck I'll try and get my voice out there.

This needs to change, having an OB dropped on your MCC or ground spawn as you call in dropships and stuff; its not cool. This is how it works; when you deploy into the PC game there is 10 minutes of warbarge time during which the orbiting satellite is active, once its active a capsuleer can dock on it granted there are no contesting forces. Now, with the current system this means that as long as the capsuleer docks for at least 3 minutes before us Dust Bunnies start the match (when the warbarge timer hits 0:00) the Capsuleer's team can drop an EVE strike on the enemy as their deploying in their ground spawn and MCC.

This has become a legitimate tactic in PC games and frankly its starting to become silly, it needs to go. I'm sure (I hope) other people agree with me on this.

I have not yet reached a good state of mind to discuss Orbital Bombardment as well as other issues in Planetary Conquest games because whatever CCP does, I roll with the punches, its the only way to keep yourself sane with this game, but if anyone out there has an opinion regarding this post and lets talk about it.

I digress,

To CCP; Change it so that satellites can only be docked on AFTER the 10 minutes at the warbarge are up, so at worst the only OB to hit us will be 3 minutes into the game if we are lacking counter EVE support.

Disagree.

Speaking as someone who has had orbital supremacy in the majority of the PC matches I've played, I think it's a terrible and cheap mechanic.

Being able to randomly destroy everything on spawning can cripple a team, and there is very little you can do about it.

Then why aren't there a bunch of BPO billionaires out there? I know one guy.

I know quite a few PC billionaires.

If you went to war, would you not bombard the enemy with shells before assaulting on the ground? :P

This thread is hilarious. Its like saying there should be a cap for one corp's district ownership because otherwise the corp will get too strong. Its directly counter to the design philosophy because what you just suggested doesn't fit into the game. You should be punished for not coming to fight prepared, not coddled. The fact that they can sway a fight so much means they are an asset you can't ignore, something you should be clamoring to get for yourself. Complaining about it constantly will just keep getting you glassed.

I agree and am ashamed that it took me so long to muster up the attention span and time to post this. Honestly I am also surprised that I'm the only person thus far to report on this issue (I might be wrong but I used the search tab before posting)

But, better late than never I say, wouldn't you agree?

I actually put a post saying exactly this about OB's at the start of the PC battle a few days after release. No one cared. I must say you have received some really stupid guys on your thread though. I fully support this change since it is messed up being able to drop an OB at the start of the battle.

I apologize, I actually remember reading about your post now I should've searched better. But regardless I figured the issue needs to be put to light continuously.

I have no idea why other people don't see this as a problem

The more posting on the issue the better. Just passing along info on my failed attempt to raise the issue.

Um, no its not like saying there should be a cap to one's district ownership

Do you all possess reading comprehension? I am not whining about lacking EVE support, I have both played with EVE support and against opponents who have support and I do not complain about getting OBs dropped on me, in fact, there is a contingency plan for everything even OBs dropped on us at the beginning of the game

but the reality is that being able to drop an OB at the ground/MCC spawn at the first second of the game is a BROKEN, UNINTENDED mechanic I do not understand how you all dont see this, or maybe you just have never had it happen to you.

Again I am not whining about not having EVE support or whatever you knumbskulls are saying, I am addressing the fact that CCP should make it so that satellites come online WHEN THE GAME STARTS and NOT IN THE WARBARGE that way OBs would only be able to dropped at the minimum 3 minutes after the game begins, ample time for both teams to perform their initial deployment

If the majority doesn't agree with me, fine, keep the mechanic; I will adapt and overcome.

But lets just hope that when the time comes that you actually want to try out PC; you don't get pissed off when an OB lands on your ground spawn taking out half your deployment team before you can say "my momma never raised me to be a considerate person"

Now, do not stop providing your opinion but please make it a constructive discussion. Why would you want to keep a mechanic such as this one, and what would be bad about making it so OBs can only be dropped at a minimum 3 minutes after the game starts and not the second we load into the match.
