With 12000 damage being applied to Gunlogis we can defo say that a Sagaris would die just as quick

As for ammo types sounds about right and the lazer one does sound awesome to watch tbh

So, they can only be used in Corp Battles atm? Hmmm...

Just imagine dropships falling from the sky.

Great post Jaiden. Just wish I had been in faction warfare during the test so I could have fired off some shots from the Moros.

I'll be doing some large batches of all three types of ammo.

Did u try t1 guns? Would be interesting to see if there is a damage difference.

Also does just one gun fire? Or is it the group? Does differently grouped weapons cause damage difference?

Does turret type matter? 150mm vs 200mm. Autos vs atri or blasters vs rails?

Just future testing ideas.

no love for missles? Boo.

I told them to do this, however, I am not sure it happened.
Heard "yeah next time" a couple times.

How many warpoints were required to enable the strikes?

Used an arty thrasher with t1 guns, put one strike down with grouped weapons, and put a strike down with ungrouped weapons and didn't see much of a change in damage between the two.

tried to put one more strike in before the end of the match with more of an interval between activating weapons, and got to my fourth gun activating before the strike request disappeared in space.

Firing multiple groups, eg hybrid, laser & emp is possible; from multiple ships?

Its very easy to join FW as needed in sisi to do the testing. Only have to worry about your standings with each faction. You can solo join and leave each one as needed

Good lord, this thing is actually able to blow up my 24k HP Surya.

From multiple ships no, only 1 ship can fulfil a strike request.

[ 2012.12.24 23:00:47 ] (notify) You cannot activate that module on the target as interference prevents modules of that type from being used on them.

Our testing found that a single turret will hit the designated point with perfect accuracy, but every additional turret will add to a spread pattern. Right now, you always want to be using a Destroyer for your strikes.

From multiple ships no, only 1 ship can fulfil a strike request.

Tony Calif and I tried to set up a corp battle between PFBHz and Seraphim with the intent on testing orbitals but due to TZ conflicts we couldn't get it done.

I decided to get a few ROFL pilots on SiSi along with a mixed group of our mercs and we set up a small contract or two just to see the orbitals in action from both sides.

Kane Spero from Imperfects tagged along as did Daniel Jackson of Planet Watchers. Newly manufactured Tactical ammo was passed out to the capsuleers and we proceeded to enjoy the fireworks from orbit and the destruction below.

**Many Bolos died for this intel


We tested all three ammo types: Tactical EMP S, Tactical Hybrid S, Tactical Laser S

Visuals -

EvE side - There wasn't much to see. No animations from turrets from a 3rd party perspective and no fire in the sky as the strike was underway. You can see the conflict below in the form of small explosions on the field and when the strike hit there was a noticeable large explosion within the district on the planet surface.

Dust 514 side - Much larger radius than the MCC precision and the different types of ammunition have notably different effects on the surface.

EM - Large shower of rounds over a huge area producing what looks like electricity filled bubbles everywhere.
Hybrid - Very similar to the current MCC precision but over a much larger area
Laser - Smaller AOE with big red/orange lazor beams


Damage results-

Without a doubt, all orbital strike variants were much more powerful. EM was noticeably weaker than Laser or Hybrid but did shred all shields in proximity and still very deadly to troops.

Both Laser and Hybrid decimated everything with laser being a bit more concentrated over smaller area. Tanks and LAV's go pop and troops are incinerated. After a few tanks went pop we moved on to CRU's. Numeric results from EvE side battle logs below:

There was no latency with the timing of the strikes. They rain down just as fast as the MCC Precision Strikes.


Can't wait to see these used in battles and there is some serious escalation potential in space for the capsuleers.

garrenteed kill/sorta range testing: 150m emp | 60m hybrid | 45m lazer
could use more refined testing for the max range




[05:22:44] Kane Spero > BUG: If location is change at the same time of firing it cancels the OB

doing a 3 2 1 test with Lasers (having the OB called in dust THAN without activating the ob while the target on eve is Still Up changing the ob location on dust then pressing X to confirm that location on " 1 " while click on laser in eve on " 1 ") caused the OB to cancel out and not even show any animation or have any effect as if nothing ever happend

doing the same test using Hybrids people saw the animation coming down in dust, no damages, and in eve no ammo was used up and in eve no graphic animation was noticed

Firing multiple groups, eg hybrid, laser & emp is possible; from multiple ships?

Lol, multiple ships? Do you wan't to destroy the whole district!?

The GM already said that this isn't possible, so i have no idea what you're talking about.

Hi all,

Well, we didn't try this as far as Imperfects, but we're walking on our way...

We set up a contract, and thx to PROJECT9 who accepted it.

We'd got 1 Capsuler Caldari, and could set 4 OS in this row. He'd got Hybrids.

1st thing is the colour changes, impression of a new power.
The 2nd, Capsuler just need to push 1 buton and seems to get bore, not really active (I know, it's just wonderfull to see that the interaction between PC and PS3 is working, without any lag, and really quickly, and with ennemies, other ships, it will be spectacular)
3rd thing, already been said, no "shoot graphics" on EVE side


Well, for the moment, really glad to see that technically, this is working, and nice job to CCP !!!!


Now wait and see for features !!!


Good party !!!
