The current method of ordering an OB takes far too long. It would be a great addition if we could select OB strike locations without bringing up the overhead map. I was thinking that a convenient way would be a way similar to how a Rally Order is set., except that in this case, where the point is set would be the middle of where the OB would drop. Ideally, one would be able to order an OB within 5 seconds. It should be as simple as RIGHT ON D-PAD ---------> OFF-MAP SUPPORT ---------> MINOR FLUX ORBITAL STRIKE ---------> SELECT LOCATION WITH THE SAME METHOD AS ONE WOULD SET A RALLY ORDER.
This offers a wealth of tactical opportunity. For example, one could quickly drop a Minor Flux on a group of reds before rushing them, or one could lead a group of reds outside of cover and quickly drop an OB on them before they have time to kill you or get back inside.
A major benefit of this would be giving Minor Flux OBs more value. Currently, the potential benefits of dropping one are almost always outweighed by the time it takes to call one in, and the potential risk of being killed whilst in the vulnerable state of selecting a strike location is always a risk. With a new method of selecting the strike location, this would all change, and the Minor Flux OB would become a valuable tactical asset.

We should have both: by default, it would be line-of-sight, with the option to switch to the map.
Like artillery in War Thunder, if you're familiar.

I like the idea of having both, because both have their uses. But still, it would be great to get this as a feature.

This would seriously suck when you were trying to launch it and had a blue intercept the strike causing you to OB yourself right in the head.

If you have no awareness of where your blueberries are, you deserve it.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.

I'd like the option for a "quick mark" OB on a priority target/under fire or being able to pick an exact point.

Both method would be a good thing.
2D overview map would also help a lot.
