So you might have picked up from the patch notes that Orbital Strikes using an EVE ship are now enabled for testing on SiSi. We are after players who are willing to be the first people outside of CCP to give it a go. There are a few requirements to setup:
- Only available for faction warfare corporation battles.
- The EVE capauleer must be a member of a faction warfare militia (either the NPC corps or as a member of a player corp in the militia).
- Each corporation battle takes place on a particular planet at a particular district, the EVE capsuleer will need to be in orbit above that location.
- The EVE capsuleer connects to the district by clicking on it while the battle is underway.
- Once you have earned enough warpoints for a normal warbarge strike AND there is a connected EVE capsuleer, a new option will appear in the off map support menu in DUST.
- Call in the request for a strike as normal, the target will appear in EVE.
- The EVE pilot can fire at the target provided they have a ship with small turrets and one of the tactical ammo variants (Tactical EMP S, Tactical Hybrid S, Tactical Laser S).
The ammo variants do different spreads / ranges / types of damage which we are interested in getting feedback on.
Details for connecting to Singularity with an EVE client are here:

Also keep in mind we do plan on opening this up to more battles, in particular we have some big plans for corporation battles in 2013 which will offer more opportunities for orbital strikes.
If you have any questions, just reply here and we can help you out.
Cheers-

I'll organise to get some ammo seeded. The blueprints should be there which you can build it from.
You can get some EVE friends to help but I'd ask if you can keep it off the forums and blogs etc. Its a weird feature with the NDA because its in both games, so lets keep it under wraps for now. |

The EVE capsuleer must be in a militia that matches the contract, however you can also be in an allied militia. For example a Caldari contract is available for both Caldari and Amarr pilots.
The exact location is not determined until the contract is accepted in Dust. |

It is for dust corporation battles which are scheduled ahead of time and show what district the battle will take place at. It is then up to the dust mercs and capsuleers to organise their pilots to get into position ahead of time.
Depending on which militia the contract is for, it will always be in one of their faction war zones which you can see on the in game map in EVE, or Dotlan has a great faction warfare map too. |
