Why can't I scan a planet, get a general idea where a conflict is, and then just randomly rain fire down on the inhabitants?

I would be willing to risk the ridiculously small chance of actually hitting anything. And it would make sense Concord would show up to curb my enthusiastic rain of fire. But dammit, if I want to randomly bombard a planet let me! They can fire back after all.

They can't fire back, not yet.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Sometimes when I post, I look at my sig and wish that I'd follow my own god damned advice.

It really doesn't take much thought to complain about things you feel like you're entitled to.

It's not a discussion, at no point in the foreseeable future is CCP going to allow indiscriminate planet ganking. The end

They may however give you the choice between blaping installations from orbit OR sending in the bunnies and providing orbital support.

Everyone want nuke everybody on big scale, everyone want see a huge blast spam from orbit 24/7 similar to jita local spam frequency, i have bad news for you, here no mass nuke spam for you, because nukes become rare support thing, used only in spetial cases, so stop dream about shooting to dustis every time you want and spaming your F1 F2 F3 like you do on pvp or pve.

That is a problem.

But I do expect CCP to allow interlopers the ability to fire on DUST battlefields un-invited, and to allow invited parties the ability to fire on the inviting DUST bunnies (as the trailer showed), at some point in the near future. Of course, I also expect CCP to provide ways for prepared DUST bunnies to fire back really effectively (and unprepared DUST bunnies the ability to fire back with some effect, I guess).
Otherwise, I'm going to be annoyed that CCP's introducing instancing into EVE.

As I've said in the other threads (that are also on the front page) why exactly would you be able to randomly bombard a planet FULL OF PEOPLE!
These are not empty planets with the only things on them Dusties. They are planets with billions of people. And the dusties are fighting over a tiny corner.
It would be genocide without consequences since the game code for it would be oh.... Permadeath because all your clone support gets cut off if they were to code an appropriate penalty. Something the game canon has established is entirely possible to do.

So let me play Padishah Emporer and then face the consequences. I thought that was what was so great about this game. Or is the sandbox once again a lie?

And since people did not seem to read what I said that closely let me repeat with more detail, without targeting assist from planetside the chance to hit anything would be remote. I still feel that if a ship can shoot from space...well then let them shoot from space. Let me just click green to red and go for it then face the consequences.

And as a retort, many mineral laden planets would not have billions of people on it. A livable atmosphere is not a prerquisite for a planet to contain something of value.

So you're saying that guns that can accurately hit a moving frigate at 250km can't hit a stationary football field from 300km? And that the splash pattern of those inaccurate shots is wide enough to constitute a genocidal act?

We're asking to be able to randomly bombard a battlefield on a Planet. Not to be able to glass the whole planet (though, given some of the lore regarding the effects of Titans coming near planets...).

To be Honest i would remove the tracking enhancers from my guns... just for a little more "splash damage"
