So there has been a lot of talk about nerfing the ob
I for one am against making it weaker as it is supposed to decimated whatever its pointed at
Some want it to be an isk cost
That's just dumb as rich players would just spam the battlefeild for instant win
Even with cool down I could organize so all players on my team have a lot of isk

My solution is to make it a skill you have to use sp on
Keep it exactly the same but with a large sp cost
You would probably see use go down in pub matches
Anyway what do you guys think?

Ya I agreed with this earlier,

But I said X12 skill with damage increase each level, to be at current or a little more at level 5.

Obviously for pub matches only for the damage, and level 1 required for Corp matches to call one for an eve player to rain down.

+1

Ya we had this conversation earlier
Just wanted to see what public thought
Thanks for feed back

OB tears the most delicious tears.

Just leave, you won't be missed.

Or am supposed to say it's too OP and should be nerfed?

Damn, so conflicted about this game these days.

OB stays the same as they have IMO. No solid reason to change it or add a sp skill. They are a reward,and they are supposed to cause massive damage to anything it lands on.

But they're far to easy to get.

Any competent player knows he\she can get 1 per match solo.

so we create a punishment? I am not understanding the logic. When I first started, I got my ass handed to me day in and day out by various corps, which there was not but a handfull, and had to endure having OB upon OB dropped upon me every round. But now the turning of the cheek, I think they stay, it is a balance of power that should be used against tanks, or allow a 3 teir OB, the first tier you hit at 2500 wp and it only damages vehicles, tier 2 3000 wp ground troop dmg, tier 3 3500 wp ground troop and vehicle damage.

why would your skill affect a strike from another players ship?

ohhhhh i see what's going on:


you're trying to punish teams and squads for playing as teams and squads.

they get what you can't and they get it faster.

and they use it on you and then you get mad.


join a team and earn your strikes or accept the ones they slam on you.


but don't try and wiggle out from under it. that's just weaksauce.

So, a bunch of high level, big time corp guys want to restrict the noobs access to OB's.

Seems legit.

Not happy with 10:1 K/D ratios?

Which is why I'm calling for a WP increase to call them in, I said 500 but even a 1000 WP Increase to 3500 per OB would be acceptable in my book.

If you want to go the increase each OB Called in by 500 WP. Make it so that it applies to the whole team. For example-

Squad 1 and 2 have both earned 3000 WP and are ready to call in an OB.
Squad 1 calls in OB.
Squad 2 loses current OB and must now earn another 500 WP to call in OB.
Squad 1 now needs to earn 4000 WP to call in their next OB.

Hope that made sense

What if you applied the same system along squad lines but with a larger increase, say squad 1 earns 2500wp and call in a OB they now have to earn another 3500wp to get another OB so you would need a total of 6000wp to call in two OB.

This would mean that squad 2 could still call in an OB for 2500wp but if they wanted a second they would also have to get another 3500wp

That's actually simpler and more effective than my idea. I like it, too bad it will never happen though
