Well, maybe point out my own (very narrow) disappointment regarding orbital bombardment with Dessies. In the novel Templar One (yeah, I read it) the story foreshadowed two forms of orbital bombardment - dreads and dessies. I'm sure the dreads will come later, but in the books, dessie bombardment came from what amounted to strafing runs. I think it's perfectly in keeping with lore and logic for dessies to bomb from orbit, but strafing runs would have just been soooooooooo much coooooooooler.

All they need to do is add a orbital bombardment t2 Auto cannon ammo with the effect of Carbonized Lead rain. The Duster wont pinpoint a target but select a path for it to take across the map.
