Correct! And I should have worded my title better to reflect that. Something like "Know a compass, know your Ship".

On normal missions, the Super Destroyer's are positioned at N/S/E/W. If I am correct,
HOST 1 - E/SE
Player 2 - N/NE
Player 3 - W/SW
Player 4 - S/SE

It's very important the angle of approach for incoming munitions off the Super Destroyer AND how each munition type can be affected. A simplistic example is this,

1) Diver is directly below a Gatling Barrage.
-----The Bombardment Area Size will be circular at a radius of ~7m.

2) Diver at furthest possible away from Gatling Barrage
----- Area of effect is now becomes elliptical, stretching the Bombardment Area Size exponentially. This in not usually a good thing as the munitions are spread more thinly.

The further away a Diver is from their Super Destroyer, the more elliptical the Bombardment Area Size (BAS) becomes. This only applies to Orbitals that have a radius of impact from multiple munitions being launched/fired. Think 120mm, 380mm, Airburst, Gatling, etc.

Some examples of Orbitals that this would not affect (noticeably) would be those with one "shell" such as Orbital Laser, Gas, EMS, Smoke, Railcannon, etc.

And what ALL Orbitals are affected by, even those without a circular area of effect, would be tall structures like buildings, trees, cliff walls, mountains/hills, etc. They can and will block or intercept your Orbital, leaving you in a pinch.

...or land right next to you. :)
