Why not orbitally bombard bunnies....WITH BUNNIES?

DUST BUNNIES hahahah HAHAHAHHA from now on...


Does this mean orbital bombardment missions will be referred to as 'bunny bombing'?

I like "Bun Runs" but bunny bombing has a nice ring to it as well :P

Didn't they say that there would be "total reset" solutions if required later on? Missiles seem to be rather appropriate for such...actions...

"Reporting for duty in my "Swifter" Rifter for Dust duty Sir!"
"You ready to clean up them Dust Bunnies soldier?"
"Yes Sir!"
"Well then, take your "Swifter" Rifter and let the Bun Runs commence. Lets sweep 'em up."

My biggest question is whether we can Orbital bombard a fight without a dust bunny calling for it. Just get a popup with a map and fire at random.

From what I understand they're free to shoot back, and can shoot back effectively with Anti-Spaceship guns. I just want to be able to butt into someone else's fight. Just like what happens every day in EVE.

Friction from re-entry does that for me...and im not talking about what I do to them BEFORE i launch them at DUSTbunnies wink wink.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I demand the ability to use obscure market items as well as plain ol' ammunition to conduct orbital bombardment. Drop a bunch of livestock on someone, maybe.

At least it'll be useful for one thing other than Bridging. 'Course, I'm not sure how much fun it'll be for the DUST Bunnies to suddenly be playing on a flat sheet of glass.


Please don't give CCP another reason to nerf Titans again. They are already **** as it stands, may as well just chop them from the game.

I also agree on the whole fire at will stance. I want to have the ability to randomly fly up to a planet and bomb the hell out of it without some stupid command codes. Why? Because EVE is a sandbox and in a sandbox you would be able to do pretty much any action. If they think they can take my destroyer out with their planet side doomsday beam...go for it!

We don't require some stupid clearance code to engage a player in eve. If there are two parties fighting each other, you can fly up and shoot whoever the hell you want without them giving you permission. Hell you can even shoot both parties. I want that level of freedom with DUST too, as I understand it they can shootback with anti-space weapons. Let's have some good ol orbit-ground wafare instead of just arial assault support.

Ah, the old minmatar ammo EMP thru spare change meme!

Missile Bombardment mechanics are already in game.

Moon probing could act as the template.

Shot the Missile and wait for a mail 5 or 10 minutes later saying you missed the target but took out an orphanage in a near by town.
