BOMBARD BOMB BOMBARDMENT
Bombing a planet will unleash missiles, torpedoes, or rockets on the surface of
the planet, causing significant damage to characters and ships on the ground.
Players and ships can be destroyed by this, so you must have valid IC reasons
for carrying out any bombardment.
Public opinion of those committing the bombardment will decrease substantially.
The impact is greatest on the target planet, but all planets in the galaxy will
hear of the act and will have a less favorable opinion of the attacking clan.
Syntax: bomb <planet> <projectile type>
This command allows an individual ship to bomb a planet with a projectile of
their choice. It must be used from a corvette or smaller with at least 65
maneuverability. The type of projectile determines how much damage the
projectile causes.
Syntax: battlegroup bombard <planet>
Used from the bridge of a cruiser or larger from orbit of a planet, this will
signal all ships in the battlegroup and all of this ship's launched squadrons
to bombard the planet as long as they are also in orbit.
