Thread can be locked, point achieved. Thanks Igiss.
And no, agile bombers don't need improvement in agility. This was only about slow ones.

im going to have 2 level 5 turrets on my LSF bomber instead of one, because its like a heavyfigher/bomber
not just a bomber.

Well another thing I noticed.... My bomber (Rhineland) has a much reduced firing arc.
I used fo get in formation with traders and used the firing arc as a massive turret for them.
It was cool RP as I acted as if I was the gunner on the traders ship....
You nerf it? fine, but please... give me a replacement. Please please please.....
Actially I would suggest allowing most lawful factiosn to have their bombers do that as massive trader fleets in formation are generally flown in the inner systems.

It was changed because it was strange that the guns could shoot all around... if you want to use something in "turret mode" like this.. buy a Kiith SHF... 350bots/bats.. can support Supernova... 2guns 5 turrets, 30k armor
Do Bombers suck as much as I think they do? - pipsqueak - 12-11-2007
yup 30 k armor and 45 percent of your screen.... lol
thanks but no thanks, if I was going to do that, container transport fits the bill even better if you dont discuss the size...lol and how about a Battleship as a turret :o)
kk enough jokes....please dont mind. But I wouldnt mind seeing a class of ship that is slow like a transport but is effectively a gun....
Small size, like a RM bomber, slow speed like a RM bomber good firepower... 6 or 7 lvl 9 and 10 guns.... Ah one can only dream.

I wonder how many people said 'turn like a station' just to be a smartass.

:)well a couple of days back, I was flying my corsair cruiser against a poorly equiped molly battleship (he had like 5 or 6 basic turrets), giving him a run for his money... and then two bombers apear from nowhere in mid texas, they engaged me without much RP (but i have no objections here, as they were bounty hunters) and they took me down in a matter of seconds, without any real damage to them...
Now if you only need two bombers to take down a cruiser, I think they are good enough. So good in fact that i bought one, the civilian version, with it's endless supply of power, great allmighty two torp slots,...:)... didn't get in to any Pvp's yet, as the server crashed...
So from the receving end of the bomber run, i'm quite satisfied... sure perhaps you need a good tactic to suprise a cruiser, but you can take it down, efficiently and quickly...
