Make it work somewhat like this, as a rough suggestion:

1. Conditions are fulfilled to allow a fighter raid or a bombing run.

2. Request is made to the capsuleer in the Carrier or Supercarrier, who then either sends the the airstrike inbound over the designated target area, or not. If so, then allow the EVE player to commit 'X' may fighter, or fighter-bomber, drones to the raid.

3. The targetted area is a rectangle killbox with a maximum width and length determined by the number of drones committed to the raid, for extra entertainment the MCC commander or player calling down the raid can draw it on the overhead map, this commits the killbox area. Or, just start the raid at the point on the overhead that the Dust player designates and in the direction he designates, and make the killbox from there automatically.

Fighter Raids (Carriers, Supercarriers):

The fighter drones scream in and pass overhead, strafing in the killbox, anything in the killbox has a chance to be hit. the strafing run can kill off infantry, destroy LAVs and damage or destroy heavier things like installations and tanks.

Bombing Run (Supercarrier)

The bombing run takes place much the same way as the fighter raid, but has a much greater chance of blowing the hell out of or severely damaging tanks and installations. because of the requirements and the fact that you need a supercarrier committed to topside this should be a rarer event., but far more damaging as the fighter-bombers pound the battlefield below them.

A Note: I realize that Supercarriers can field both Fighter and Fighter-Bomber drones,.

Be interesting if a way could be devised where some of the fighters could be shot down during their pass, but if not then a raid animation should be pretty damn cool.

My .02

Good thing I did a search, otherwise I was going to suggest the exact same thing.

But yeah, I think this would be a cool EVE-DUST integration point in addition to orbital bombardment.

Carrier and Supercarrier fighters are larger and more powerful, built for mostly taking on other starships, but I see no reason why they could not be deployed in a targetted strike capacity on a ground target. At least that's my thinking, there'd be a place for both, the carrier and supercarrier raids would be less frequent and more destructive over a wider area, but harder to deploy than just jumping in a fighter and shooting at someone with a dust player.

That would be so sweet... I can't wait for pilot dropsuits, modules, skills, etc.

Little boy dropped on Hiroshima was 1.6km radius. Single shot would glass the whole map. Maybe if we get big enough maps? Weapon release range on both fighters and fighter bombers is 5km. Fighters are also about 1/3 size of mcc with around same hp. Maybe light, medium, heavy drones sent down from EvE? Dust fighters will be smaller. There persistence on field will make them more useful then glass the map EvE fighter bomber strike.

As the OP was saying, that aircraft that we're going to be able to use are going to be far smaller than EVE fighter drones, and won't be able to use as heavy of weaponry as they're designed to be portable and stored in large numbers. The strikes you can get from an EVE player will be what you want when that column of HAVs comes over the hill.

Agreed, but I'm pretty sure we'll only be seeing EVE Fighter filling this role. Fighter bombers are in no way atmospheric, and as such would be useless for surface bombing runs.
