I am just curios, why have missiles been omitted from the orbital bombardment ammo? I know guns are more instant but come on every other weapon type is represented.

Lasers
Hybrids
Projectiles

The only one that is being ignored here is missiles and Id like to know why, I mean a missile strike from orbit isn't that insane an idea.

Because open beta.
I want Dreadnaught shells to be fired at my Dust bunny.

Mizzile trails are too awesome for dust bunnies to experience.....

I have deliberately developed an air of cynicism that I originally intended to make me appear somewhat louche and caddish but actually comes across as irritable hostility combined with the unspoken threat of sudden violence.....

Didn't CCP remove missiles in the last balancing patch?

But more seriously, if they don't exist they will probably be added, so stop worrying.

I want to hurl corpses at dustbunnies. The splat of defrosted corpses hitting the ground is more of a psycological victory than anything.

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

I'm sure they'll add missiles to the Orbital Bombardment eventually... Though I really want to see some kind of option to use Drone/Fighter Strikes!

That would certainly give new meaning to "raining death from above"

Actually it's not even that far, it's still closed beta but should be going open sometime this month from what I can tell.

Also drones WHAT ABOUT THE DRONES?!

I'm sure every self respecting Gallentean patriot wants to take a domi to bombard a planet repeatedly with sentries like in Day of Darkness II

Given the distance I will not even try to use torps, neither cruise missiles Lol too expensive for rabbits.

I vote Orbital Bombardmant Leviathan.

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.

To be honest I want to do strafing runs in my Rifter!

Possibly whilst waving a blast pistol out of the cockpit (ok small convenient hatch in my pod) whilst yelling 'Yeah yeah Get some, c'mon, WOOOOO!!!!!)

The match would be over before the missile hit....

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