I'm pushing my friends to play this game and give it a go, so I sent them the E3 2012 Beta Preview video which can be viewed here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSCFKYaRhpM
It happens between the 40-45 second mark. They fall from the sky and start blasting everyone and everything. I WANT ONE!!! lol 
So how do I go about doing that? Thanks! |

those would be turrets called in by the commander.
We don't get to play with them yet. |

It's an orbital bombardment.
Squad up.
Set objectives. Complete them.
Wait to be awarded an orbital bombardment.
Nuke everything, just to be sure.
Enjoy. |

the missile turret? they spawn in before every match. you don't get to control the dropping in part yet, but you can control the turret once it's in place. |

I've called in orbital bombardments before, that's not an orbital bombardment. |

yah that guy didn't watch the video, it's a turret
supposedly in the full game the commander will control where they fall and so on, but NOW they're all computer generated before the match, which is why you don't see them actually coming down.
in the build before last, the map was attacker defender (instead of neutral) and had 2 phases. when the attackers finished the first phase you could actually see some attacker spawns and turrets being dropped onto the battlefield for the second phase. but still, you had no control over it. |

Can't watch the video since I'm at Uni (grumble mumble crappy internet) so I took a guess, but if it's not an orbital bombardment, it's likely to be a turret. At the moment, these are static on the map, but if you get in quickly at the beginning, you can see some of them being dropped down. Eventually we'll be able to call them in ourselves (possibly commander only, yet to see). So SoonGäó |

How do you become a Commander anyway? I suppose just fill out pre-requisites and you'll unlock the Commander rank and away you go? (Full Game)
I don't notice any ranks in the beta (for now) so not really sure how the ranking system would/will work. |

There are no ranks unless a corporation you join decide to have one |

In eve its player organized.
Groups are led by FCs. Fleet Commanders. They build the group and choose where everyone goes within the fleet.
They choose Wing commanders who in turn manages their own squads.
Commanders would likely only be a position filled in the 0.0 update, That is corp dictated. |

Chances are the ground forces commander will be skill point fueled and will eventually require MCC control has part of its regiment as well as XL turret control.
MCC control will be probably regarded one of the highest skills to obtain and only for the dedicated few. |

So it's basically only clan based?
It would be pretty lame if you'd have to join a group in order to use those abilities. Hopefully once you've achieved a certain status in the game and let the solo players earn the right to use it just like you have to earn everything else in the game. |

But joining a corporation is practically what this game is all about

Its the kind of role intended for the full-on planetary conquest warfare game mode, so yes that is corporation based. besides, i wouldn't want some random shmoe dropping all of our combat assets from the MCC during a game, would you?
