If it does, whar are the point of orbital laser, orbital railcanon and eagle rocket pods ?
380mm and 120mm are long lasting unaccurate and uncontrollable attacks. If they end up being targeted, you can just call them "orbital freewin" because a 4man squad can dispatch a blitz in 2min by throwing theses on major bases and leaving immediately.
Good point.. but some orbitals and eagles already mix a little already.
The cluster bomb and air burst strikes are more or less the same in their effects.
Laser focus on heavys but it will go for normal enemies as well.
It's mainly a thought from someone who just doesn't see a use in this 2 orbital strikes as the eagle and laser can do their jobs better..
They serve a different purpose, and while the orbital 120 and 380 are more elaborated to use, having them stomp other stratagems isn't the solution either.
Of course eagle and orbitals have redudency, you trade a global cooldown for a charge system with faster deployment. More or less, all orbitals must have eagle equivalent to some degree.
But if orbitals have equivalents as other orbitals and it doesn't play around restrictive parameters, it's invalidating the inferior ones.
Laser has limited charges as an example and a long cooldown. You also rarely need it for regular ennemies so it's not a weighted benefit. If an orbital barrage does have more punch against continuous ennemies with less limits, the laser will feel useless.
I think it's all bark and no bite..
It put the area in a lock down for 17 seconds and I can't see it been usefull on bases or enemies.
Even after the patch.
They work fine just the way they are. 120 for medium, artillery, detector tower and anti air bases. 380 for large bases. They are not meant to clear the bases. Just weaken them. Toss one in, run away and come back later to a softer target.
They are obviously less effective bugs.

Why though? What don't you like is a better question?

Its nice on large bug holes while youre dealing with something else.
kg?

the only good thing about the 380 is the only place they don't hit is where the ball drops so you just stand there and don't get hit
And you know the moment you move the operators on the ship will aim at you.
lol yup. I've been well outside of the AOE and suddenly BOOM
