Just wondering how long after one uses a bomberstrikes does it take before you can use another? How long is the timer and how can you tell how much longer you have?

Ive heard in our chat program that it takes 3 min to use Bomber Strike 3 again. So maybe it is just 1 minute for eace lvl. Or it could all be just random.

Not to mention that screwing up your authorization code counts for a use... >.<

It takes too long, lol. Seriously though I have never used a timer myself but 3-4 minutes sounds about right. Of course when it's a capital ship that's blazing towards you then 3-4 minutes is way too long

The timer does not start until the strike package leaves the area, that means until the targets are destroyed or the strike package is.

Learned something today... They do last about 3 mins apart,but you can only call 2 bomberstrikes in one system at a time.. I called a bomberstrike to help me.. on part of this mission..... then 30mins later I used it again in another part.. then 10mins later I needed it one more time.. but oh wait.... I was screwed.. it told me no more bomberstrikes in my area and used my speical. .

bomber strike has a 5 min timer on it. you can use as many as you like in a system, but there is always a chance that "command" will tell you there are no strikes available. You can tell how long it will take by this...
first 3 mins it will tell you "you are still recovering from your last trick"
4th min "a couple of more minutes and a new strike team will be ready"
5th min "one more minute until you are ready"
Then you can call in your next strike. the best way for it to work is to have several people call in strikes at once on the target area.
