Immortal Guides had a PC match scheduled for Wednesday, so I decided the grab a Destroyer and see if I could figure out how to Drop an orbital from EVE. It took me half of the first match to figure out how to find the District Satellite, and then I had to google a YouTub video to realize you have to mouse over the planet and to find the district to click on, in order to lock onto the district. I did that successfully, however although I could see the rectangle for the countdown bar, and linked to Team coms, I did not get the 3 minute countdown.
So my question is, why did I not get the 3 minute countdown?
Was it because there was no one on my team in the first match and no one from the other team in the second match? Or was I doing something wrong? I knew in the first match that since no one seemed to be in the match on my team, that I would not actually be able to drop it, I was hoping to at least get to the point of qualifying for one, even if there was no one to give me a target.

AFAIK there is no three minute countdown display - at least not when I've done it. You can either count down yourself or just wait for someone to use an OB.
And yeah, the way you lock on district is pretty dumb. You should just be able to lock onto the beacon to be connected.

To my understanding it only shows up in FW or it's some kind of bug. I've never seen it in all of the OBs I've dropped.

What Thunder and Patrick said, I use a song to keep track of how long I have till the next OB... If you need people for PCs just send my EVE char a Mail Old Man Parmala is my main mail box for this sort of stuff.

So, the countdown is not shown. That is good to know. Now, is it still just the 3 minute wait, as in FW, or do squads in PC still have to earn WP to get access to EVE Orbitals?

No need to earn wp to launch EVE OB's, just wait 3 min as in FW.
If you never launch OB's with your eve chara there are some point to keep in mind:
- Fit orbital ammo
-Use a destro with 7 guns (small)
-No need to take t2 guns, doesn't affect the OB.
-Each sort of ammos make a different OB.
"fly safe"
"Hello, world!" ??? C'mon man...

Take a look at Renier GadenGÇÖs kill board before assuming I am an easy target. I may not be a PVP god, but I have been around the block enough times to take precautions.
I will give you a hint. My other EVE account has 143 ship kills and an efficiency of 88.3%.

If you need to hunt OB ships to pad your killboard, you are clearly doing it wrong.
