Nomad issues

[Softly]

Any idea what causes the nomads chat lobby to not open up? It seems to happen typically in off-peak hours, although its not on it seems atm either.

You mean the Nomads chat channel in FAF right? I don't know what the problem is. A while back it always appeared reliably but recently there's a chance it doesn't. But if you keep trying (restarting FAF) then usually it comes up after up to 10 tries (that's my experience anyway).

It's not something I can change though. This is entirely FAF related.

Im new here so i hope these things are actually new.

I found that the bombardment mode doesn't really show any difference.

After upgrading the ACU, I couldn't figure out how to activate Oribital Bombardment mode. Is it automatic? Does it have to be used near your base where the satallite is? If it is automatic i didn't notice the difference facing a small force of t1 units.
---EDIT---
OK I found the Bombardment Icon with some help. Was expecting it to be down near overcharge but it's up near the resources bar and the multifunction bar. Interesting effect. 13 seconds before it fired at the location I was. and another 47 to reload.
Interestingly after acu was killed, the bombardment still happened 12 seconds later.

Didn't see anywhere how much damage the bombardment does each time.
