As stated in the title I think the precision strikes are too easy to get and are used too much, added to that I think they will render orbital strikes useless. |

I did see precision strikes used one right after another for almost an entire match. Every minute or so one was going off. Definitely takes a lot away from the game when it is spammed in such a way.

Yeah...90% of the Skirmish matches I played today were won by depleting the clones of one team...something is going horribly wrong. |

I would even have to agree with this. This needs to go away entirely, or why should I bother parking a ship in orbit if you don't actually need me to? |

They just need to raise the amount of war points to gain them. Maybe around 3k war points or so. |

yes, it does need to be raise by at least 3 times the current level |

At the very least they need to make sure the points you get from a strike don't contribute to earning the next one. |

once people are able to actually bring down ob's then the ps strike spam should slow down considerably because if you waste your precision strikes you'll never afford an ob which will be far more deadly |

1250 points per squad per strike.
They're coming too fast for how powerful they are now. There's virtually no way to avoid dying to a strike granted that it's planted on top of you. The old style might have been too slow, but I hazard that the current timings are slightly too fast. |

While I agree that the current frequency of Precision Strikes seems high, I concur that, once we have a lot more options of where and how to spend War Points we will see that frequency decline
And just think of all the awesome data regarding orbital support CCP is getting. Plus, I love that 'Horn of Valhalla' sound effect! |

3k? that would limit even the STB guys to like 2 a game. no one else comes close to 3k |

...1250. If you don't believe me, divide it out the next time you play. |

I've already seen single players with over 4k in several of the matches since CODEX. Maybe that's outside the norm /shrug what I do know is that strikes shouldn't be coming down every 30-60 seconds for the last half of the match. That's excessive and gives a very real motive for folks to limit what gear they run with.
Using high end gear is a risk v reward calculation and having 'orbital spam' really inflates the risk aspect of that calculation.
No reason to run proto gear when you can just be slagged from on high w/o any ability to counter/avoid (if they were less frequent this wouldn't be the same kind of issue but at present....  ) |

Also, the WP needed are accumulated over the whole squad. So if you have a squad of 4 people and each of them gets 800WP, you have an orbital strike at a 3k threshold. Currently you already get one, when each of the team has ~400WP. With squad orders (and the accompanied WP bonus) this is very easy to achieve. |
