Dust 514: Orbital Bombardment: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

The use of Orbital Bombardment in New Eden is currently limited to [[Factional_Warfare|Factional Warfare]]. This [http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=74180 Dev Blog] and the links within offers a clearer explanation of the mechanic. By limiting the use of OB to Factional Warfare, CCP are using a live testing facility on the main Eve Server, [[Tranquility#TQ|Tranquility]], while being able to tweak and alter the finer points of OB both in terms of balancing and from a technical standpoint. While doing so, they give Dust Merc's in the Open Beta, the opportunity to have a meaningful impact in New Eden, further cementing the principle of a single shard game universe.

While in orbit around the planet, the Eve pilot can be attacked by members of an opposing faction and destroyed. Meaning that the OB that a group of Dust Merc's have called in and are in need of, may never come.
