          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.

          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?

"fly safe"    Do you put stabs on your fit too? if not I'd love to know where you do OBs, I've got a ship set up looking for kills in MH.   LOL. 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%.
