Actually, I kind of liked the system they used for the tournament.

You have the satellite act like the capture bunkers for Faction Warfare, and you have to hold it for 30 seconds each time before you can drop a strike.

I mean, part of the reason support is one-sided now is because it isn't even worth it to call in anyone to defend you. The enemy can only drop a strike when they have enough WP, and the only strikes we have available don't really have much going for them compared to the free one in the eyes of Dust players.

I like the idea of EVE support being a serious threat, not a killstreak bonus.

That last part is EXACTLY what i am talking about. And you are right. When we do OB now we sit in a deep safe and wait for points to get close to wracking up then we warp in, hit and run. We are not in danger so their whole original idea is kinda smacked down.

Exactly. If you think about, even when the ground installations that can fire back at us are made usable, they would barely have enough time to shoot before we hit F1 and run.

It doesn't have to be 30 seconds, if the concern is about spamming, it could be 60 or 90 seconds to provide more of a respite between calldowns, and it also provides for an impatient commander spamming them as soon as the countdown is reached, which you can use against them.

I think having a system where you have to sit on the satellite to "establish a link" or something of that order would lead to more incentive to use EVE players.

I mean, what if we leave in the WP War Barge strike with its restriction based on points, and then adjust the EVE strikes so that you don't have that penalty? You still have to have an EVE player in orbit, so they aren't free or without risk, but now you have a reason to want an EVE player working with you.

I like how you called me a CoD fanboy because I said No. Also the reason why I left a short message is because that's all I needed to say.

Also I like the WP limit. It gives a sense of accomplishment instead of just giving you one for just being in the game. I like to feel accomplished when I send down a strike upon the enemies that can one hit kill anyone in it. Just giving it just sounds stupid.

(Also you don't only earn WP through kills you know)

Oh ya definitely xerxes definitely so when the other team has no eve support you'll just be stomping them every single round. O ya cause EVERYONE who doesnt have an eve character or support are going to LOVE this game. Well if that happens bye bye dust, welcome back call of duty. Really dude i left that POS game for this for something new and instead you guys want to ruin it for your pleasure, well their goes CCP's dream of this game lasting another 10 years. If you have an eve pilot on standby just reduce the wp to 2000 thats what they should do.

Shouldn't players who have Eve support be rewarded?

Sir, the motto is "One Universe One War." The game was DESIGNED to interlink into eve, THAT is how it is supposed to be different. Right now it IS call of duty because you get rewarded for your damn kill streaks. If you don't like that they are finally at the point where the game is complete enough to do what it was meant to do, then go back to CoD.

And as I told the last guy, EVE isn't like that. Hard to explain, but play EVE and see for yourself. It is rare to have giant fleets in orbit around a planet for OBing. And of them only 2-3 ships actually OB, the rest are there to guard them because all the battles you guys do take place in hostile territory. To put it in perspective, imagin if each of your dropsuit fits cost you around 100 mil. Would you still play the same way? Would you still rush in carefree? Might you even cry upon death? Yeah. That is EVE.

Our ships are 100X more expensive when put to the same scale. My ships cost 1 billion isk and up, but we only make about 10-50X as much as you do in the same time frame (with some exceptions, but they are few and far between). If we lose A ship, we literally in some cases are out of commision for days, weeks, or even months.

In Eve, you need to have allies. Politics are EVERYTHING to the CEO and his officers. Corps are more than just "Clans" you join to get into the big matches. They are groups of like minded people RUN like mini governments. Governments have clashes from time to time, and Wars have casualties. Most of us look foward to Peace, and try to maintain it. Trust me when I say, sir, that you are not qualified to comment on this forum topic unless you have actually played eve for 2-6+ months. The game SHOULD and is SUPPOSED to be about who you know in Eve, or who you know that knows someone in eve, because that is just the way the Eve universe (which you are now part of) works.

ONE UNIVERSE // ONE WAR
Welcome to the neighborhood, and..... beware of natural selection.

(I like the idea of a 0 m/s penalty, makes it a bit more realistic and a bit more risky whcih would help balance the potential increase in OBs that would come with an entire fleet OBing).

Guys, as much fun as spamming orbitals sounds, there is a rather painful problem: It would make everything else null and void. If you could just drop orbitals anywhere and everywhere at any time and as fast as your eve buddies could fire, what would be the point in even fighting on the ground? The team that has eve side support would simply win, no contest.

To keep this being a game that is decided by boots on the ground and not guns in the sky, there needs to be some manner of limiting this, or no one without orbital support is going to even try playing in pc.

I'm going to nitpick your word choice of "realistic", because neither Geostationary orbit or Geosync orbit is a velocity of 0 m/s.

At the poles of a planet it would be almost 0, except for the orbital movement of the planet itself.
I've never actually tried to orbit a planet at 1000km (assumedly from its surface?) but I don't think we can't expect CCP to calculate or render it accurately. The point is, our engines do record velocity as relative from being fully stopped, and to offer any realism it should be some small amount of velocity.

HAHAHA Why would your superiors let their ground troops have an orbital if they aren't doing well?

I don't see what your problem with it is, in a 6 man squad we can often get 4 or 5 on a good game of skirmish.
