Probably can't/won't happen, but back in December 2013 CCP Rouge mentioned implementing a variant of an OB that would destroy all equipment over the target area, but leave dropsuits/vehicles alone (EMP Bombardment). If memory serves, it was meant to cost significantly less than an OB, and have a wider area of effect.
This would be a very useful tactical option. Have some pesky rooftop campers/snipers? Destroy their uplinks and hives, and you've popped their greedy little mouths off the proverbial teat. (and it would make trading hands in Dom much more likely, no more bum-rushing an entirely entrenched team of reds without a better option)
Perhaps it could simply be done by applying a flux 'nade effect to the current OB? Maybe cost 1500wp?
Definitely want input, but I think we can all agree that we need more tactical command options on the field. |

this exists, but only in FW, and its useless because it kills nothing but shields and equip, which isnt very viable in a combat situation like FW where eve pilots earn the ob

bad idea is bad. it will just get abused to hell and back by squads and protostompers and will make it far too easy to pushback/redline the opposing force.. even more so then it is already

because it is worthless, why EMP an area, when you can drop lazers in instead and murder everything in the area
i got EMPed in FW once, it was hillarious any smart EVE pilot will use tactical laser S ammo because its the best ob ammo, as hybrid ammo is very dispersed, and EMP ammo gets zero kills

^Correct
In FW, or PC (any player dropped OB situation) there are three types of OB.
Very simply put they are
1. Hybrid - Essentially like the NPC OBs from Pubs
2. Laser - Smaller AoE higher damage applied
3. EMP - Wider AoE, only damages shields and deployed equipment (basically a huge flux nade)
The way this proposal differs from current player dropped OBs is, as far as I can tell
1. That this would offer them in Pubs as well
2. That dropping them would cost less than the standard OBs

Assuming that it wouldn't require the EVE pilot, this would be a fantastic counter to all that EQ spam and hard to reach uplinks.

Can't we get back when we could chose what type of strike? This game was so interesting with those. It felt better playing with squads. How about we keep everything as is. Normal bombardment when 5k wp are reached. Only change is that now you get a emp strike at 2.5k. So your getting a chance to destroy equipment/shields halfway before you call in normal ws. Or reduse wp to 3.5k wp and let us choose between standard laser(current/kills) emp(equipmet) hybrid(both but with less damage) or missles.

Why not just allow nerfed versions of all three per 5k WP (e.g. you get to choose one every 5k WP)?
Obviously EvE OBs would be much more powerful, but having the tactical option of any of the strikes would be a nice change of pace. Using a destroyer in Eve with 8 guns is the max damage a single OB could do, so the pub versions could be equal to about 4-5 Eve turrets.
I like it.

Ive dropped 2 obs in about a week. I usually barely earn them at the end of the match. I do play ambush mostly,but obs are too rare now. |
