I would like to ask some things about EvE Orbitals, because I want to change my EvE gameplay from standing grinding (Getting a PoS close it Jita) into FW, because the whole corp standing is almost at 7.0 to caldari.
So now that i did some research on FW orbitals, i found it some things that are not 100% clear for me:
1) Where is the Dust FW going on?
I know that there is a list of EvE Highsec systems that have Dust going on, while I wonder if the FW also has some core Systems or if the FW is only in contested Systems or on a random planet in the FW area
2)When i log my ship to a district, then i would be visible for anyone in the system and i would be a direct "warp to", right?
Can i place a "Mobile Large Warp Distruptor" to use it like warp-bubble in Nullsec?
3) How many ships can target a district?
The 3min Timer seems a bit long for me, since i have to go there and then i would have to wait as well. Only one orbital per 3min seems a bit low
best regards,

I know.. but i hope that CCP one day will start to find out that "checking all 4 races at the start" is not that good, since the noobs will end in the Q of the unterplayed caldari/amarr FW.
I want to play for caldari but if i only win 1 out of 10 games to armour tanking, damage mod stacking, in FW gear walking gallente, then i think its time for me to orbital them for some nice killmails

I know about the FW area: http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Caldari_VS_Gallente
I was more asking about the way to find the dust mercs.
so far i see two ways:
1)warping from system to system and when i find mercs in local, then i scan for the orbital thing and warp to it.
2)be part of a alliance where someone with a keyboard will tell me where i have to go
3)public channel, while gallente could also see the calls from caldari mercs
thinking that "way 1" would be the way to go i was hoping that there is a way to limit the amount of choices.

Not you directly, but the beacon that you used to warp into the orbital support location is visible to everyone.
Mobile Warp Disruptors, aka. warp bubbles can only be placed in nullsec. As all of FW is in lowsec, you can not use that to defend yourself while dropping orbitals.
aww crap... i just got myself small,med and large for ~150mil and was thinking that "banned from empire space" is only highsec. 
but if the beacon is there warp to, how far can i be away from the beacon, when i orbit it?

Only one ship can fire at a district at a time, but there can be several on the area. If an enemy ship comes into the range of the orbital drop area, the timer for dropping an orbital is stopped until either one of the ships leaves or is destroyed.
i wanted to know how many ships can target the district to get the 3min timer (so there can be more then one orbital in 3min).
machs starts
after 5 min i find the mercs
2mins later i'm at the district
3mins later i can send my first orbital
so 10min from only one ship is very low (since the matches are not that long), but if more then one ship can target the district then it would be fine.
i think Regis Blackbird with10 ships had the answer

true that is 
I was thinking just thinking about:
a) how do i find them
b) how do i make my orbital withile having a chance the warp out (if there are hostiles in local that come in)
i was now also thinking about a "mobile scan inhibitor", while i find 15mil to "save" a destroyer a bit much. But for the killbord i will think about it. lets see if my ship has 100m-¦ cargo for that inhib.
maybe its time to find a caldari FW alliance that has interesst in dust FW and orbitals. i also have to read up on the effekt behind the dust FW and the EvE FW, while i look forward to the future of dust and EvE in general.
so far i got 5 eve chars doing T2 produktion for jita (2 accs and didnt pay for it since A LONG time). now that i made so much money with industry and incursions its about time to get a golden pod and show it out by losing ships in FW. i just have to find a way to get into this orbital thing, because that is the most awesome thing that i can think about since the did hear about the oculus rift.

When I run a d-scan towards the district beacon I can tell what ships are there, if you have an inhibitor up my d-scan will show nothing but the inhibitor, but I would know someone is there, would just be a matter of how many might be there.
thats the reason why i would put it there.
1) drop inhibitor
2) lock the district
if one person comes into the system and more then one person from my FW is in the system, then he will not warp to me, because he could warp into more then one person.
3) wait till the timer is at 0:10
4)change to Orbital and fire it
5)profit
i dont fear single frigs
if i see a cruiser on D-Scan (can not be covert ops if not SOE or T3,right?) then i warp away
if i see a destroyer i can 1on1 him
if i dont see anything then its a stealthbomber and i can blow him up
---
while this is just theory and i will lose my destroyer on the way to the system and give a happy killmail with a 15mil scan inhibitor in my cargo

thx for the replys, i learned a lot today

Not sure how much you PVP, but I know a lot of people that could solo your destroyer in a frig.
I dont PvP at all, because i found it pointless to fly in 0.0 fleets to look for a fight for hours after a long day of work.
my EvE history:
Started as Gallente and ent into a corp that was in FW, while i was a noob at this point and was just planing to join there fleets.
They left FW and went to nullsec, while i had a hard time to follow the fleet in a T1 fit without the core skills to support my ship.
i got bored and left to do industry again, because i had way more fun in highsec before we went to null.
after some time of retriever produktion the patch came and i made 4bil in one week, while the marked was gone i had to look for something new and since i didnt had the corp PoS anymore i started to grind gallente standing and got my standing for a second NPC corp up to 8.0 (because i was thinking that my jumpclone dies and i need to make a new one anytime i die...).
the Gallente FW corp wanted me to train into amarr logi, since i wanted to play logi and a carrior is to far away for me, so i got amarr cruiser5 but i never made it into the fleets and FW, because i was scared to leave highsec alone and wanted to save the money that i couldnt make that easy anymore, since my marked was gone.
i left the gallente corp after i "saw day of darkness 2" http://youtu.be/yXWf-l71MY4
,because my picture of EvE was destroyed after gallente using amarr ships in FW and the style was gone and i also did start to find out that blasters suck for PvE.
i made my caldari alt and started incursions and used dualtraining to get my caldari alt and standing to caldari, to build my PoS.
made a second acc and got myself a invention char and did build up 5 chars now to do T2 produktion.
---
i see dust514 as my way into PvP, because i now see a reason to risk a ship, because i get more LP then, while i need one more month before my caldari char can 100% fly the ships that i want to use in PvP, because i dont want to use my gallente char (dont want to go under 2.0 gallente, because maybe one day i will leave FW.. you never know what you will do in the future...)
goals for 2014:
move the PoS to a 0.7 system next to jita
getting into FW (maybe a alliance with a dust team, so i can play in squats or support them with orbitals)
over all.. burn the ISK that i get from my T2 produktion after plexing my 2 acc's, since i dont see a carrior in 0.0 as a solid option to keep my T2 produktion online without leaving my corp and losing 10 manufacturing slots that give me a passive income of 100mil per week just to be forced into long CTA's and farming NPC's to make up for my "lost" isk (in FW i also have more time for dust)
