RE: DS2-Orbital Bombardment

It is in MT.  In varies, but you need to be in low orbit, which for a FT
game is a standard orbit.  Geostationary is too high for accurate
bombardment (and prevents you simply obliterating the enemy in SG/DS
games).  Ortillery platforms become available every 6 turns in DS (roll
d6 for when it first becomes available).
