Well, as Lythrilux pointed out before me, caps aren't really meant to be anti-bomber actually, snubs are way more competent in snub combat. But still, Flaks are the best against Novas if you are alone, and by my experience they are way more efficient than you described them to be. Or maybe it has just been me...

Caps are op. All of them.

Myself I do very rarely fly caps, and never did any training, and still I can kill stuff so easily. Seeing how easy caps are to fly, and how strong they are at the same time - it's no suprise that so many people fly them.

I'd be for restricting them to official factions and/or make them damn expensive or only to get via SRP request.

Or just leave everything as it is. They're easy to fly and easy to kill - so where's the problem?

Do you even now what caps are?

But the fact that they can't get away at all and can't do anything else against bombers, still stands. Come on, you have to admit that it's pretty weird if 4 bombers can kill a carrier with CAU 8 with only patience and ( a lot) of torpedos... They hadn't really given a reason to start shooting at us anyway but i guess that's okay.

Guess what, caps are balanced to be killable this easily because there are many of them out there because everybody and their mom can fly one. Make them more rare, buff them to realistic strenghts and your problem is gone already.

I think you're all forgetting a very important demographic that plays on Discovery. People that enjoy popping Capital Ships with their bombers.

Keep Capital Ships free for everyone, that way us bomber players maintain a target rich environment.

delete bomber class and let caps kill caps and fighters kill fighters

all the problems solved.
