I see we have orbital bombardment ammo, but since dust died nothing to do with them (at lest to my knowledge). I think it would make for a cool lvl 5 or 4 security mission, if we bombard npc planetary infastructure, you would have to fight your way into a position to attack, maybe some kind of orbital defense platform, then maybe a little minigame of sorts for hitting ground targets.

i would see this being able to be done with large and XL sized guns, I think it would a neat addition to pve content.
we have planets but not much use for them besides creating farms for PI, lets do something with them.

We only have small bombardment ammo.

Definitely like the mission concept though. Reaching a position before a timer expires to bombard a planet and help ground forces. (or destroy a ship that is bombarding a planet). But why do we need to use bombardment ammo? Why doesn't normal ammo work for bombardments? Especially in this feature.

i only suggested it that ammo because it was already coded into the game, but normal ammo would be cool too
