"With some of these corp with unlimited money, throwing a couple destroyers at you to simply rain down strikes through the ground cannon is a side thought."

Why do people keep saying destroyers when referring to OB? The only ship we have ever seen launch a actual full on eve player bombardment has been a Dreadnought. Now for the uninitiated here ( non eve players ) a dreadnought is a capital ship that costs for the hull alone ( equivalent of a drop suit or tank frame) close to a billion isk ( been awhile since I bought my nag so correct me if I'm wrong) that without guns, without mods, without ammo. Other fun facts about dreadnoughts since there cap ships there not allowed in any system higher then .4 security status which means there not even able to fly to the high sec planets that were starting at upon release. I just keep hearing people talk about destroyers and I wanted to clarify the fact that in eve a destroyer is a anti frigate gunboat, to put that in size comparison to a dread nought a destroyer is about as big as on of it's turrets.

Thank you I have now distributed what knowledge I have to help the dust player base understand eve a wee bit better, I'm not trying to condescend i seriously want you guys to come into new Eden//EvE with some good information. Because if your hiring me and my friends to keep enemy ships out of orbit I want to know what I'm flying into.

Good shooting to my duster friends
Good flying to my eve friends

It sounds like someone here has failed to keep himself informed. Judging from the trailers, I have seen a Moros, Rohk, and an Apocolypse rain hell down onto the planets. Then you have CCP telling people on different gaming news sites like Massively and Ten Ton Hammer that destroyers might get in on that action. It is not news at this point when people already know that.

yea as it stands now i can afford about 300 destroyers.. and i'm not even that rich. there actually a throw away ship used to suicide gank high sec miners (player ganks a mining ship and profits from the wreckage which pays for the destroyer he is garunteed to loose in the process)

so yea it doesn't seem like they would let such a cheap ship OB, you actually get a destroyer for completing a part of the tutorial as a reward..

doesnt make alot of sense that a destroyer would be used for OB otherwise any noob that completes the tutorial could come and OB if the training time for the OB module is not significant enough. a battleship would make more sense because thats out of alot of casual EVE players financial bracket..

you can almost buy a month of game time for how much you pay and fit a battleship.. i'm hoping they go with battleships because those hurt to loose unless your in goonswarm or test those giants can afford whatever they want and are chomping at the bit to bomb us
