Reiteration that Space Marine Orbital Strike is OverPowered

ToastGhost

I've had only one negative play experience in this game and that is the SM Orbital Strike, especially in 3v3's.

They are able to place the beacon on a piece of terrain that is unreachable by my units due to the ramp leading to it being behind a large army or they can put it behind 3 armies and its infinite range and rapid speed allow it to eat my entire force including a 9 elite point unit. It's also incredibly fast and can run down any 9 point unit. This thing either needs a vastly increased recharge time, a vastly decreased are of effect, a vastly decreased range, a vastly decreased speed at which it can move, or a redesign in some other way as a turtling space marine army will just wait for an attack and wipe out the entire attacking force with minimal losses before walking across the map uncontested.

I reiterate that it is the only thing that has caused me to actually have a negative play experience in this game as other powerful abilities can be countered if looking for them but there are so many ways that this thing can't be. Please change this ability.

cough eldar being able to launch it absolutely anywhere on map or orks being able to pick it with invis or teleport unit and jump into middle of your army cough

Lets say thats exactly how it should be used, you can capture it and turn it into IG flashlight and this is the only way how to do it.
You have orks with trukks, deffkoptas, invis units, deff dread and his drill, zapnogin with teleport and tons of scrap mobiltiy stuff.
Eldar with bonesingers, spectres, invis units, jumping elites, vypers, uncounterable ult.
Space marines drop pods, scouts, land speeders, assault marines, terminathors with teleport, gaben, you can deploy elites on top of it just because you have DW nearby.

And as long as you at least touch it for a while it turns into red noodle that does nothing. What else aside from "git gud" would you want ?

Id like to mention that eldar storm has no way how to disable it.

Yep orbital pretty much ridiculous OP. Throw it in a choke point or down a lane during a big battle and it wipes an entire army - STUPID.
Tone this thing down. Actually all of them, but especially this one!

Question - I went into the enemy carrying the roks global, and the other guy somehow just took it off me and ran off with it - is this normal or a bug??
