Meant as a consolidation of various interviews in the media sphere, this should help nail down some important bullet points for players to help get a more broad grasp on what's going on with Project Nova.
Excellent write-up.

But that's for another time. You mean Nova and EVE?
I assume he means Nova and EVE.
And yeah, I am sad to see that even when we get territorial warfare back CCP seems to think orbital strikes should never come back.
Part of what I talked about with some friends on Skype was the idea of having a set of satellites about 300km above the planet that you have to warp to to perform orbitals, and that you can drop as many strikes as possible before the satellite passes over the horizon, at which point you warp to the next one back. That way you keep the process of dropping orbitals more active and fun for the EVE player and that strike ship is a major threat to the enemy on the ground.
To counter that, you implement the range of surface-to-orbit defense weapons that CCP already had concept art for. Enable the enemy on the ground to either defend themselves with their own emplacements, or hack the opposing team's and turn them against their support ships.
If you set up the orbital strike mechanics to be fun and require more activity EVE-side, you would see a lot more players engaging in them, because I've met a LOT of FW pilots who talked about how excited they were for that element of Dust integration right up until they realized it meant sitting in one place pressing F1 every 3 minutes.
