Empire-specific command ability

• Common Pool (all): Orbital Strike
• TR: Air Strike (stealthed, thundering and decloaking upon destination)
• NC: Barrage Strike (a two-stage pounding of rapid artillery)
• VS: Covert/Psionic Strike (psionic-attack payload, elongated, silent and deadly)

All have Orbital Strike unless an orbital warfare expansion changes that, and all will have their own Strike command ability too. (all:2)
The empire who takes a key location may temporarily possess that enemy's Strike ability. e.g. NC take a VS key location. VS lose their Covert/Psionic Strike ability. NC commanders are now able to decidedly use Covert/Psionic Strike or their own Barrage Strike as well as their Orbital Strike. (VS:1)-(NC:2)-(TR:2)

What exactly is the point of this besides diversity for the sake of diversity?

Expanding on the empire-specific traditions of PlanetSide into command abilities, which is also partly and blindly expecting command in the next PlanetSide game to be entirely different.

This is a new game!
This is war!

Is the NC orbital strike going to be OP, the TR orbital strike average and the Vs orbital UP?
