Ventis Gant Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 37	Posted - 2012.07.17 21:06:00 - [1] - Quote Just a thought. Everyone knows CCP Devs are devious souls. I wouldn't be surprised if we found out that orbital bombardment was in the game when CCP challenges us to a match some weekend...and then Bombards us back to the stone age for laughs.
Ray seveN Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 71	Posted - 2012.07.17 21:08:00 - [2] - Quote wouldn't suprise me if they tested orbital bombardment on a random match just to see what would happen
Thick McRun Fast Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 177	Posted - 2012.07.17 21:08:00 - [3] - Quote What I've been hoping for since the start of these so called "weekend events" A random CCP dev in matches throughout the day who would call down orbital strikes from another CCP dev on their internal test server.
Longshot Ravenwood Algintal Core Gallente Federation 680	Posted - 2012.07.17 21:10:00 - [4] - Quote Can't wait to see one of those "lockout spawn camps" broken by one of these.

Please do this.

My ******* tank got OB'd once lol it just said i committed suicide but at the time i was confused as hell :P
Lurchasaurus SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 808	Posted - 2012.07.17 22:54:00 - [10] - Quote lol one team thinks they're winning and redlines the enemy, then all of a sudden in the top corner - CCPblahblah joined match 20 seconds later....... looks up into the sky ......ah ****........

Ventis Gant Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 37	Posted - 2012.07.18 05:20:00 - [11] - Quote Maybe with lots of alarm bells going off, a prerecorded voice (or a CCP dev on the side about to get OBed) screaming "evacuate, evacuate!" And the team that is on the other side hears the dev on the EvE server saying "target aquired..firing for effect". To the one who thinks he may have been OBed...from the fanfest video that shows an OB going off..I don't think you can miss it...it lasts several seconds and least and has a very large area of effect. It doesn't seem to be just one round from the heavens, its a whole battery firing salvo after salvo. Of course, if we had RL physics in eve/dust, I'm pretty sure a Rokh laying down that much fire on a planetary surface would make at least a large part of the planet uninhabitable for a few centuries. The largest battleship sized turret fires a 1400 mm round...that's 1.4 meters of metal, and the hybrid rounds would be .425 meters...and one of those is antimatter "Consists of two components: a shell of titanium and a core of antimatter atoms suspended in plasma state. Railguns launch the shell directly, while particle blasters pump the plasma into a cyclotron and process the plasma into a bolt that is then fired." I'm thinking that, on the low side, a piece of antimatter plasma around 1/3 of a meter or so in diameter...that would be a catastrophic energy release on a planetary surface.

I was told that OB was limited to dreads. If it's not, the implications for DUST players are alarming....

Nope from the looks of it everything from destroyer up is going to be able to do planetary bombardment, but the bigger the ship the bigger the OB, so a destroyer would be small compared to the Dread.

Ventis Gant Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 37	Posted - 2012.07.18 13:01:00 - [15] - Quote Both of the ships so far shown in videos have been battleships. A Rokh, which is a Caldari Railgun ship, and I didn't recognize the other one on sight. I seem to remember it looked Gallente, though. If Dreads can OB, though...then we are up to a 3.5 meter sized round from the extra large turrets. Hmm...can't let the carriers be left out...they should be able to send fighters on a strafing run and fighter bombers on a bombing run...tell me that wouldn't look awesome to see a flight of drones burning in from space to lay down some destruction.

Please do this. I've been asking them to do this to me for weeks now. Even asked CmdrWang on twitter how much it would cost for the dev hack to hit me with it.
