Orbital Strike?

So is there a Tactical Kit that'll allow for orbital bombardment of any kind? And if not who thinks it would be a cool idea to add something like that?

We see this in several different film, and TV episodes and I personally think it would be a great thing to have if it’s not in game already for higher tier officers of course; like Captain or something.

    It's in the game. This is an Engineer ability.

    And it's called ....(Drum roll please)........Orbital Strike.

    Kits in general are for ground based combat only. so if you call for an orbital bombardment your have gonna be on the surface of the planet you're bombing

    As for a space based skill, that makes more sense, but given what I've seen so far of the STO missions / PvP, I don't see a time when you could use that skill

    Well, when you discover that your cardassian allies have been sponsoring a rebellion against your very benefical alliance it'll be necessary to remove the problem.

    The only strange part about Orbital Strike is that it works indoors, on spaceships, etc.
