that would be like an Ion Cannon from Command & Conquer: Tiberium Sun.

Just a big burst of energy from the sky hitting a targeted area.
In PS, its I guess a small radius good damage thing, and has like a few min wait time till using it again.

Too powerful, or not working as intended.

I thought they just removed the info box about it that you get when you gain CR. I dont think the orbital strike is actually in-game yet

Orbital Strike eh? Think you could be able to pinpoint an enemy Galaxy and zap it out of the sky?

I think that they said they were removing it until they got it working right.....

the cr4 and 5 abilities were never in the game, they but a blurb of what you should get was. CR4 was orbital strike, better jamming radius, and a see all enemies every 20min option (continent wide). Cr5 is bigger orbital strike and continent wide /b. I hope orbital strike does make it, I love being a commander in this game, but thats just sickly overpowered and will make n00bs who shouldnt be leading try ot lead just ot get it. I'd like to see stuff that actually helps a commander command his units and the units on the continent, instead of things that allow you to kill. Something like being able to call a Hart up at cr4 and have them drop an ams somewhere for you, or use the satallite to redirect nanites into an ant for you or something like that. just random thoughts here

Guardian Angel: Nice Under Siege reference.
Anyways, I think the ability to have supplies/vehicles/ams dropped to your location would be great, give the commander some actual ability in the field. An orbital strike is interesting, but it's just a cheap superweapon, and shouldn't be for something as low as cr4 or 5. Maybe at cr9 or 10 (if they add those), but there are much better, more useful abilities that should be added at lower levels.

ya, they need to make it so that your squad/outfit/etc only see it, and not everyone... I can see 10 spots placed, and no one knows where to go
