Don't even bother with orbitals for caldari, their ground forces are ********.

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

Factional Warfare is located in various lowsec regions. Placid, Citadel, Essence, Verge Vendor and Black Rise house the Caldari-Gallente FW, while Devoid, Bleak Lands, Heimatar and Metropolis contain Amarr-Minmatar FW. You can see the combat zones here.

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.

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.

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.

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

Need to be within 10km of the beacon, cannot use warp bubbles to protect yourself, and warp stabs are for pansies.

it sounds like he is trying to solo OB.

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

Want to know which planets battles are going to take place on?

That's easy. Go to Dust's starmap. Check which districts are owned by Caldari.

Those districts will have battles in them continuously until they (inevitably) flip to Gallente.

Not sure how much you PVP, but I know a lot of people that could solo your destroyer in a frig.
