So, I have been working with a pilot doing orbitals recently, and I noticed that orbital strikes from eve ships seem to randomly fire between 1 and 4 shots per gun. This makes orbitals extremely difficult tactical assets to use because that quick strike to clear out the room for a speedy hack becomes a 32 gun laser light show that denies the strike zone to anyone for 15 seconds, and the hybrid strike that is supposed to kill that tank only fires 8 times and allows it to narrowly escape. The pilot says that the guns use only 1 shot per gun (sometimes less), and that they are all Tech 1 guns. We tested all 3 strike types, and they all have this error.
Also there is an EVE side problem where sometimes it displays the name of the person who PREVIOUSLY called in a strike for all strike requests, so they can't accurately call in strikes from a specific person as they all say they are from the same person. It can even show people who aren't in the match, or ones that called in a strike on a previous day.
I'd like to see a rundown of the orbital strike mechanics to see if this is something that can be made more consistent, or possibly useful.

1 group, so they are stacked

One issue is that the 4 hybrids APPEAR to drop a different number of shots each time. 4...7...12??!!
It is also inconsistent with the laser and hybrid strikes. This inconsistency was originally noticed with an 8 laser ship that seemed to fire for WAY too long, and subsequent orbitals with that ship also had inconsistent firing numbers of 1-4 shots per cannon.
For instance the 3 lasers will fire 3, 6, 9, or 12 shots. The 4 hybrid will fire between 4, 8, 12, or 16 shots, and the 1 EMP will fire 1, 2, 3, or 4 shots. It seems random as to how many it fires.
