April 13, 2014... I was sitting atop a mountain on my "Meat Grinder" HAV; desperately trying to shoot down a dropship. When out of nowhere I hear a the strike and see the laser targeting me alone.... I immediately activate my Fuel injector and desperately try to escape!! I took 2 hits and yelled to myself "C'Mon you fat bastard!!" Pushing forward with all my might I successfully escaped with little armor left. Headed back to base to heal at supply drop, thinking to myself...

Lynn Beck Wake N' Bake Inc Top Men. 1179	Posted - 2014.04.16 00:25:00 - [9] - Quote How about: rushing a proto squad with Pre-buff Recruit SMG's, twinweilded on a militia frame. They ran CONSTANT scanners, and they dropped 2 orbitals SPECIFICALLY on my head. I survived the first one, and killed 4 proto suits(2 proto logis, 1 proto scout(brick tanked) and a Proto heavy) The second one, i only wounded one, who subsequently committed suicide. :/ i was in a Mlt Minmatar medium.

The enemy got so annoyed by my stealth-hacking that they tried dropping an orbital on me and missed. I was laughing as I stood just out of the killzone I'm from the weird side of the internet
TunRa Fatal Absolution Dirt Nap Squad. 551	Posted - 2014.04.16 01:03:00 - [14] - Quote I have survived many orbitals with the help of boxes, corners, and even used some fellow blue dots as shields. Thanks CCP Foxfour Likes received: 514

Heard the Orbital start up and just insta-raged, put my controller down to eat my Capt N Crunch . When i looked up a saw that i survived it with like 60 something armor. Standard Min sentinel
Dingleburt Bangledack Knights Of Ender Galactic Skyfleet Empire 185	Posted - 2014.04.16 01:20:00 - [16] - Quote I survived an orbital in a heavy suit by stopping and assuming the fetal position (crouching) and waiting to die... I was rather excited when I didn't. Still not sure how I was lucky enough to live through every hit, though.

Trainer Node DoC Deck of Contractors 11	Posted - 2014.04.16 01:29:00 - [18] - Quote Currently I regularly Survive Orbitals in my all purpose Tank. Unless they catch me already weakened I can take a direct hit or two and a lot of splash before dying meaning I have plenty of time to get out of the blast zone. I've got a 7000+ armor Bruiser tank I play around with that can just wait out an orbital as well. And if you want to know why I think people calling for a reversion to the old vehicle builds because they were "easier" to kill don't know what they are talking about: right before the vehicle respec I had an 11,000 actual (not EHP) tank that in one of my first uses I sat through a Double Orbital while stationary just to see if I could take it and I lived with a third of my armor left. Bottom line, congratulations on your first orbital survival, but any well fit HAV can survive one if it gets out of the way quickly and a top fit damage taking tank can still just sit through one.
Christiphoros von Poe Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 324	Posted - 2014.04.16 01:29:00 - [19] - Quote In my Gunnlogi I had 3 OB's called on me about 3 seconds apart from each other. I didn't have a fuel injector, but my tank still managed to avoid destruction. I was the only on in the area, so I must have pissed the other team off pretty bad.

zDemoncake Horizons' Edge 110	Posted - 2014.04.16 01:43:00 - [21] - Quote Most of the time that I survive OBs is by jumping off bridges, chanting "I'm going to make it" as an orbital is called on a hack point. I've outran orbitals, it usually just wounds me though. CEO of Horizons' Edge mercenary division *My soul, your beats!* Enemy to many; equal to none.

Dovallis Martan JenusKoll Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 726	Posted - 2014.04.16 01:55:00 - [24] - Quote LT Shanx wrote: Atop a mountain? HAV? Trying to shoot down a dropship? ............. There was this one time at the very end of a game (10 seconds left), where a guy was tricked into firing an orbital at a summoned tank. See the thing about the spot I called the tank down in was that the RDV was forced to fly ABOVE the height that an orbital can hit at to deploy the vehicle, so the orbital flopped uselessly across the floor. Of course the tank would have never landed in time (would not have been in range of orbital either within round limit), I just wanted to see if someone was dumb enough to take the bait. If you can read this, it means you are reading. Unless you are skimming
Lorhak Gannarsein Science For Death 2703	Posted - 2014.04.16 02:00:00 - [25] - Quote I had a tank that could survive an OB on pure buffer back in Chromo. (I was trying to see exactly how much damage they dealt; wanted to built one that could tank two. Never ended up building it unfortunately). In 1.7 a triple-hardened Gunnlogi could tank an OB too. ak.0 4 LYFE I am the Lorhak. I speak for the trees.

Louis Domi Pradox One Proficiency V. 185	Posted - 2014.04.16 02:04:00 - [27] - Quote I'll one up you, pre 1.6 i had a gunlogi, had an orbital dropped on me, i didnt run away i stayed in the same spot and took it, forgot what modules i had on. Orbitals are only bad if you panic, you can easily run from them(you got a good 3-4 seconds after you hear the sound, only reason i sometimes die is i'm debating whether its my team's or theirs) or sometimes i like to pretend like orbitals are just rain drops, so i take shelter under or inside a building :)

Good work, scrub. Rub-a-Dub-Dub I be scrubbing noobs that run. It's always great to have a lighter side of the forums. If we were all just serious about gameplay, anyone new to forums would just be ridiculed for their poor, misunderstood knowledge of game and feel like this game is nothing but filled with a bunch of serious d-bags who have to correct or debate about everything. Although sometimes it's nice to be serious and still positive. I slightly agree. The original topic seemed to be ignored over my poorly described story. -Activates Harden- I GÖÑ RoadKill Closed BETA vet - CLOAKING
Kasote Denzara A Vulture 2279	Posted - 2014.04.16 06:39:00 - [32] - Quote How do I survive them? Prop myself into the blind spots of certain buildings' insides. Yes, those actually do exist. I have been around long enough to find most of them. No, it does not involve glitching inside of walls or anything like that. That's when you realize that there's very little left in the game when you can laugh through an OB as infantry right under it. This is a signature. You have been enlightened.

Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 5119	Posted - 2014.04.16 09:02:00 - [35] - Quote Watched a sniper friend (NOT in the redline) draw enough anger from the enemy team to get an orbital dropped on her position. She ran and dodged wildly, and through some insane combination of luck and speed, she came out of the wave of explosions with the tiniest sliver of health left. I made it to her with a Repair Tool and after a few seconds, she was back into position watching over the front lines.

OB's aren't what they used to be, hell a heavy can survive one with enough HP to take on a few enemies right afterwards. Support Orbital Spawns
