Actually that probably wont work.
I can't wait to shoot one down manually as they come out of the tube:D

I rather enjoyed flying circles around outcast destroyers with my arrow LF back in 4.84, dropping nuke mines into the hull...
While bombers technically should have a weapon like this, I think it would be better suited to light fighters, which currently are 'useless' in most situations.
However, like all ammo based weaponry, the cost is what deters me. Even if these mines are ridiculously strong, you're going to have to spend a fortune to have enough of them to kill a capital ship, or even harm it to any real extent. A full load of 17k hull damage nuke mines costs almost half a million credits, for reference - and even a full 70 of them, all hitting a capship's hull, will not be enough to take on most armored cruisers.

An expensive,deadly and slowly mine used by LFs to take down capital ships.Sounds amazing.The LFs wont be useless if this idea is installed.Oh and the "bomb" limitation by 3 or 5 would be also pretty good.Anyway this things doesnt fit for bombers because they already have the SNAC.If you add this too they would be overpowered. [my oppionion]

It sounded Cool until I read the Description...
It would be pretty stupid looking for a bomber to sit there for 20 seconds waiting for some stupid thing..
I suggest giving the Bombers bombs like the Tie-Bombers have in Star Wars:DThat would be cool.. Not Delayed mines... Ugh... No i think that would look kinda stupid.. Maybe a REALLY slow mine or something.. :/
If the Bombers gonna drop a bomb.. Atleast make it a BOMB.. Not a delayed mine thing...:)

But theirs no gravity in space........
at any rate, Id give LF's a second thruster or a sniper type weapon, that would make them better

I like LFs destroying capital ships.....imagine 5 startrackers utterly beating Rheinland bs.
Than BS will haveto realy have escorts that would prevent LFs from dropping mines.
Make light fighters have dumb missiles that would have more damage than SNAC.
Escorting ships of could still have time to shoot those missiles down before they hit.

LF's are not bombers. they should not replace bombers. IF they get anticap ability, the become something other than a LF, they become a bomber with LF agility. Bad.

Nova Torps, are sort of a Bomb, but special bombermines would be cool as well.

*walks in*
a solution to bomberwhoring: percentage weapons
think about it, for example, a SNAC takes out 5.6% of a ships' hull
not much for a fighter, but a considerable amount on a cap.
just and idea
