	The Bombardment operation proceeds in rounds, once per orbit. Specifically, a round occurs every time the fleet reaches a specific position in orbit that is roughly over the target it is bombarding.		The Bombardment operation proceeds in rounds, once per orbit. Specifically, a round occurs every time the fleet reaches a specific position in orbit that is roughly over the target it is bombarding. Whenever a round occurs, all functional bombardment-capable weapons still possessed by the fleet and the target will shoot at each other in a randomized order, though weapons whose shooters have higher targeting and ECM bonuses are more likely to appear earlier in the order. Specifically, every weapon is assigned an initiative value that is equal to their Targeting Bonus + ECM Bonus + a random value between 0% and 100%, and then the weapons with higher initiative get to fire earlier in the round.

	When ~~a round occurs, every bombardment capable weapon on every ship in~~ the fleet ~~that can still fire will fire at the target.~~ If the target is a [[Habs\|Hab]], then a random hab module on the hab is selected as the ~~target~~, but the hab core can only be ~~targeted~~ after everything else is destroyed. If the target is a [[Fleets\|Fleet]], then a random [[Spaceships\|spaceship]] in the ~~fleet~~ is selected as the ~~target~~.		When the fleet's weapons shoot:
			* If the target is a [[Habs\|Hab]], then a random hab module on the hab is selected to receive the shot, but the hab core can only be selected after everything else is destroyed.
			* If the target is a [[Fleets\|Fleet]], then a random [[Spaceships\|spaceship]] in the target is selected to receive the shot.

	~~After the fleet finishes firing, if~~ the target ~~has any defenses that can still fire, such as~~ [[~~Nations#Space_Defenses~~\|~~region defense lasers]] or [[Battlestation~~]] [[~~Habs~~\|~~hab~~]] ~~modules, they will fire back at the most threatening ship in the attacking fleet~~.		When the target's weapons shoot back:
			* A random [[Spaceships\|spaceship]] in the fleet is selected to receive the shot, with the random selection being weighted by the bombardment value of each [[Spaceships\|spaceship]].

	Note: Landed fleets are basically sitting ducks: they are unable to shoot back and cannot activate any point defenses. If the target fleet is landed at a hab, then that hab can shoot back, but it cannot use its point defenses to protect the fleet.

The chance that a projectile is shot by point defenses is equal to the Total PD value of the target divided by the Total Anti-PD value of the Bombarding Fleet's weapons.

	~~So in practice,~~ bombarding with missiles will simply ~~get~~ all missiles ~~shot~~ by point defenses, if any exist~~.

Ultimately. bombarding with missiles will often simply result in all missiles being destroyed by point defenses, if any exist (keeping in mind that, again, shaped nuclear missiles do have a 20% chance to hit even if shot by the hab's point defenses).
