Orbitals are active use abilities designed to boost your economy, drop in new units or cause catastrophic damage to enemy armies and turn the tide of a battle you might otherwise lose.
We've made some changes to the way some of our Orbital abilities work. Firstly, some of the larger direct damage Orbitals now cause Friendly Fire damage, meaning you need to be careful where you place them if you're to avoid damaging your own forces.Some abilities, such as the various Scout Orbital abilities, now have multiple uses and can be triggered several times. Charges will gradually replenish, and players can stockpile these abilities for later use.
