Ships equipped with orbital bombing weapons can launch Orbital Strikes against a planet's surface which destroy buildings and/or colony population.
- Orbital bombing weapons can only be fitted to Cruiser-class ship hulls. They may only be used against player colonies, and have no effect in Fleet Battles.
- All orbital weapons are ordnance-based (the ship must have sufficient ordnance to fire).
- An orbital strike can only be ordered when the fleet is in orbit, and there are no defensive fleets in orbit.
- Once an orbital strike has been ordered, it will only be launched after the Launch Time countdown has completed. The fleet must remain stationary in orbit during this time.
- Not every strike will succeed in causing destruction, due to the weapon's Accuracy.
