Doesn't make sense that even though a team has no ship orbiting the planet, they can call in an OB through a cloaked Warbarage.
The suggestion if implemented, would further help cement the EvE-DUST connection.
That or make Warbarages destroyable.
Now, space superiority will be required more than ever before. |

Make EvE matter more than just 'hee-hee, I just used a more powerful version of the northern lights' and more into ' Woohoo!, Now that we've got space superiority, beating the enemy who've got 3-4 objectives but no way to get the last objective without an OB has just gotten way easier' CCP!! |

Khamelaya wrote:I agree that having the warbarge bombardment diminishes the value of the link with eve. But one of the core concepts CCP stated when they announced Dust 514 is that while the two games will be linked, neither game will rely on the other. If Eve fails Dust can still continue, if Dust fails then Eve can still continue.
Making full use of the link between Dust 514 and Eve should be advantageous, but it must not be compulsory. This may change in the future depending on the respective future success of both Dust and Eve, but for now they must both be able to stand independently.
If your ground mercs are skilled enough, they won't even need an OB |

Besides, an OB is not the end-all, be-all of the game except in the case of game-winning hacks. |

Why not though?

It's a good way to not screw over people who maybe aren't as interested in messing with the Eve side of things, while giving them a taste of what they could have if they did.
Why isn't the Warbarge destroyable then? |

Because dust players shouldn't have to depend on Eve players for what can often be a deciding factor.
That is exactly the ponit I want to make. Currently, EvE ships really aren't needed in PC. There MUST be a way to limit the enemy's ability to call in OBs.
Like I typed in the OP, Warbarges can also be made destroyable, unlike now, where they're invincible.
I don't really want to bring in RL examples, but throughout history , it has been pretty much proven that artillery support and the like are pretty much crucial to achieve a military victory.
Vehicular support can be cut off by destroying RDVs, so why not off-map support? |

Cosgar's Alt wrote:Why this wasn't implemented, I'll never know. CCP prides this game on the EVE Online connection, but the truth is, there is no EVE connection. FW is nothing but a pub match that benefits random EVE pilots you don't care about and PC is a giant slap in the face of anyone that actually went through the trouble of getting UVTs in the past to stay in contact with EVE pilots and form an alliance. One universe, one war, two non intersecting games.
