DUST Search - Orbital Strikes

CCP Nullarbor wrote:

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-

Also +1 for sticky!

CCP Nullarbor C C P C C P Alliance 540	Posted - 2012.12.24 21:11:00 - [43] - Quote 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.

I have confirmed that I'm not typing in my credentials incorrectly. Is there something that I'm missing when attempting to connect? Thanks in advance.

I mean, the limitations are just insane - faction warfare is one thing but if I, as a capsuleer, have to guess what System (let alone what planet/district) it gets a little ridiculous.

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.

The dark cloud Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 1060	Posted - 2012.12.25 04:16:00 - [49] - Quote SI have tested it aswell and we made the following observations: EMP's= destroying shields only you can think of them like huge flux grenades hybrid= its like the old precision strike from the old build but with more firepower and larger area of effect Laser= small area effect but extreme devastating to vehicles. When your tank gets hit by that its over no matter what So my opinion is only the hybrid and the laser strikes are usefull cause the emp doesnt kill any 1 in its area. Both strikes are capable to anihilate tanks. I tested it on a gunnlogi with over 6000HP on shields, 2 active 30% resistance going and a passive 10% resistance and it didnt even survived half of the shots that hit the ground. Another thing is eve pilots can be attacked any time during the match by other eve pilots. You will need more then just a crappy ship to bombard the battlefield. You will aswell need help in space to defend that ship. If you dont have Eve support you will have a big disadvantage in corp matches.

I was one of the people shooting from orbit. CCP Nullarbor, I'm uploading the EVE-side Footage of that testing to YouTube right now as Private, so only I and approved accounts can see it. If I take usernames from these forums in the same manner as Grideris has for the IRC channel, would it be acceptable for me to link the footage here?

There needs to be a way for Capsuleers to see when these battles are taking place, especially for Faction Warfare, outside of the corporation(s) that are taking place in that one particular battle. Then again, Faction Warfare matches shouldn't be limited solely to corporations in Dust 514 in the first place.

BursegSardaukar Sardaukar Merc Guild General Tso's Alliance 55	Posted - 2012.12.28 16:11:00 - [56] - Quote Glad to hear this is up. I'm not hugely keen on doing FW in EVE, hope that non-FW corp battles w/OBs will be implemented before the game launches. Don't like being limited in the places I can OB. I really want to hit the planets in my home system, Seyllin. Also, I think EMP should have a lasting effect if all it does is wipe shields, like a lingering EM field. edit: and why should a side get OB's only if they are doing well (gaining WP), there should be a timer/cool-down instead that is available regardless of how well someone is doing in Dust, otherwise the EVE-Dust connection is just flair and not really important. edit 2: And from the EVE perspective, I don't like the idea of hanging around at a planet for God-knows-how-long and getting blueballs. I get that from war targets already... it's not going to be a fun idea of being the OB pilot in EVE if you can end up waiting in orbit through a whole match and not getting to pull the trigger.
Kain Spero Imperfects Negative-Feedback 895	Posted - 2012.12.28 16:33:00 - [57] - Quote The thing is when this is live you will probably not just be sitting in orbit waiting to fire. You will end up fighting off opposing faction ships, pirates, etc. The use of WPs is a balancing mechanic to prevent OB support from being an I-Win button. It gives you a tactical advantage, but it won't single handedly win you the game if the Dust mercs aren't pulling their weight on the ground.
Solomon Malcolm BurgezzE.T.F 13	Posted - 2012.12.29 06:36:00 - [58] - Quote This is a good read for me. I alwaya wonder how these things work. I don't play EVE tho, but it's nice to learn.

Jack Boost Zarena Family 194	Posted - 2013.01.02 11:07:00 - [60] - Quote For all that want to fight at orbit. There is limitation for grid here - 100km (instead of 300km) Around 100km from district satelite you can connect to district. Fly here - cloak - and wait ;)
