warp to a district, and offer bombardment to both sides, for a small fee? up to the capsuleer for much they charge?


e.g. a new menu we eve player can see dust battle, where they can just turn up and send a notification to the bunny with the fee, or dust bunny send out a request with the max price there pay? before battle or during battle.

I know it won't be too popular, with eve player to due to the low isk income, but i would not mind doing it :P

good, bad, more ideas?

Why would the gods of space want to interact with lowly footsoldiers? Bombing them from space of course I find completely acceptable.

Not sure you require a game mechanic to achieve this. The cool thing about a game like EVE is that many careers can exist outside of the core game mechanics.

Try getting in contact with some Dust corps, find out where they operate and offer your services?...

While we are at it...

Whenever I play dust - we are not able to call orbital bombardment...
On the other side...the enemy is constantly carpetbombing the planet... I wonder what my team does wrong?!

You're fighting for the wrong side, you do realise you need to have players in orbit who are aligned with the side you're fighting for right, OB isn't a free for all, you pick a side by participating in FW and you can only call in strikes for the guys you're allied with, if you get the bum end of the stick and have no allies in orbit you get no strikes, thats why dust bunnies need to properly pick sides and make sure they have the best of the best in space to cover their asses :P

well, this will help with that, not every bunny will have a corp witch has eve plots in, but they could be more than happy to spend the isk, to win all costs :P
