I just sent you an email with the save game file for my current game. It was too big to attach. I am at turn 378. I build Orbital Bombardment Uplinks as one of my first buildings in a city. Yet, at turn 378 I have only accumulated 21 orbital bombardments. Something is not working.

The bombardment don't produce, for each installation you got 1 or 2 attacks, and the attacks got a cooldown of 5 turns.
That mean you can do the bombardment again in 5 turns.

Correct, I understand that. The problem is that if you don't use them, you can accumulate them. After 378 turns I should have close to 100 unused orbital bombardments. Instead I only have 21.

In my opinion I think its realistic. You dont get a machinegun effect just because you wait to shoot. Its like I wait with my Ferrari for a year then I can go 1000 mph.

It is not a bug, azpops, it is intended. As Canute mentioned, each building has a cooldown that resets once you've used the operation. Each uplink can only maintain 1 operation.

OK, so you've changed it from earlier versions where you could accumulate unused bombardments to being able to just have one per uplink. Is that correct? In earlier versions I could accumulate them and have 100 or more when I needed them.

Quite a while ago, yes.

Strange, I have 6 uplinks but never seem to get more than THREE orbital bombardments.

I will not use them and report back later tonight to see if its still stuck at 3 after 5-10 more turns.
