Well since we will have drones for pve eventually.
how about Drone orbital support?
instead of calling down an orbital we can request Drone support?
they stay till tak'n out by AV weapons or the eve pilot recalls them.
or give this ability to Carriers that way they have a good use for there Fighters and bomber crafts.
example the Einjerji fighter has 2750 shields and 3250 armor takes a shot ever 3.75 seconds target's vechs first then moves on to infantry.
though each one of these cost approx. 24-25 mil
i think it would be a nice twist on the dust/eve interaction instead of just calling in an orbital strike.
Might give the Carriers a little niche that no other ship could have.
later that's my random thought of the day. =) |

Would be awesome for the null sec expansion. Maybe it could be like a bomber strike / fighter strike.
Carrier fighter would come flying in rattling away with their primary gun at the ground being a major danger to any infantry. (strafing run) Each fighter assigned would give more strafing runs on one call in.
This kind of attack could also be designated to attack flying vehicle, dropship, ASD, fighter.
"carrier" (mothership) fighter bomber attacks could be like orbitals regarding explosion and all that. Each fighter bomber assigned to the strike should drop one bomb each. Each bomb being pretty powerfull (1.5 times an orbital hit ?? ) Should also get opportunity to designate a ground target like installation, lav, MAV, HAV. (it'll then act more as guided bombing)
Then maybe fighter strike costs 1000 WP's to get orbital 2500 and fighter bomber strikes costs 3500  |

A carrier's fighters can't enter atmosphere. They are not aerodynamic, and do not have the power for self-sustaining flight.
In addition to the above, a super-carrier's fighter-bombers fire compact Citadel Torpedo's, singularly devastating missiles designed to damage capital ships. A single one of these missile hitting the ground would result in potentially a dozens-of-megatons release of energy. You would be looking at completely wiping out large sections of a district with just one shot.

Meeh yeah this thought strafed my mind but the thought of how epic it could be won the battle 
Of course you'r right fighters and fighter bombers are if i remember pretty big and aerodynamic was not thought of when designed by the engineers.
Maybe carriers will be the only ones able to field specific orbital strike fighters then. Giving away their fighters for like 1 min. Would mean huge deal on the eve side and give a dilemma whether to do it or not. |

well they have special ammo for ob's so why not special fighters and fighter/bombers still think it would be a good niche for the carriers. |

I very much love the idea of a horde of enemy drones being dropped from orbit in the middle of a battle for me to fight. +1 |

Although I find the idea appealing I don't think anyone would risk a capital ship (or deploy a fleet) for some fights on districts unless the gain is equally attractive.
Drones on the other hand I think would be fun.
Drones which would have do be deployed and travel down into the atmosphere, blast away heat shields when approaching the district (and therefore are not recoverable) and either get roughly directed by ground troops or work on a seek and destroy basis. The pilot has of course sustain control over the drones by not leaving the lower orbit and once he does or gets destroyed the drones fall out of the sky to become scrap metal.
yep. that sounds like fun. would probably not work in public matches. faction warfare probably but again the risk vs. gain argument one hears every now and then. |

+1. This was actually one of my ideas that I was tinkering with for a new game mode |
