OK so I tried to get thi answered in the stream Q/A...

but no one noticed/answered it.

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING TO BE SPECIAL ABOUT THE ORBITAL LAYER

Ahem. Sorry for yelling.

Hum... Flying buildings? :3

I think I saw that, what did you have in mind? It's come up a few times and it won't be a second air layer if that's your concern.

That is a bit.

I imagine Orbital could be the "scouting/support layer" if you will. Spy satellites for wide terrain vision. Targeting satellites that make artillery more accurate. Special fabrication for stuff that's too fragile to assemble even in artificial nograv. I would love to see some sort of gameplay system built around a GPS satellite style network.

Surely there will be an orbital unit/installing/whatever that allows bombardment. There has to be. Right?

Made by the russians, and then some old guys like robert duvall have to disarm it.

Brilliant.

There is some horrible clone stamping in that poster.

We're gonna have orbital bases that can launch units/projectiles/buildings for less cost due to being out of atmosphere, right?


(and then when you destroy them they come crashing down onto the planet and whatever is in the way!)

If its made by russian its made to last! (Insert plane falling out of the skies here image).
