4.85 Weapons - Asgardian - 10-19-2008
Not sure if this has been answered previously, but will cap ships gain access to anti-bomber weapons in 4.85? When i say 'anti-bomber', obviously i mean weapons that are good only against bombers, not against other capital craft. I really hope these weapons will be available in 4.85, or the bombers get nerfed. In my opinion, a bomber taking down a fighter just isn't right.

Id say best anti bomber weapons are LFs

I don't think it would be possible. but i can help. Don't fly huge ships that phail at fighting bombers. But, thats my two cents worth.:P
Edit: there is a two gun very light fighter sold on california minor. That'd be pretty much anti bomber as you can get.

So anti-bomber weapons are needed, because a bomber piloted by a good pilot can beat a fighter 1v1 occasionally? If it's an escorting situation, the bomber would be in trouble if jousts the fighter escort, considering the speed and power of capital ship weapons.

caps should get anti-bomber weapons... and bomber taking down fighter isn't right...
ehh what are you actually asking about?
1. Anti-bomber weapons for caps will get changed in 4.85 but their names will mostly remain the same
for GBs - Solaris, Missiles and "normal" turrets
Cruiser - Solaris, NOT missiles and NOT Flaks
BS - Solaris, Flaks, NOT missiles
2. Anti-bomber weapons for fighters will mostly remain the same but some will get damage increase:
Mini Razor, Sunslayer - by far the best anti bomber weapon 1vs1 even now, Missiles, Mines

Take a fighter escort. Thats a pretty good anti-bomber weapon. Add some missile turrets instead of all the anti-cap guns that are probably mounted.
If all else fails, use cruise baby, use cruise!

this.
I'll be flying a carrier in 4.85. I will almost always have Order bomber and fighter pilots with me when I go out to pvp - it's both in-RP for the ship and effective =P
I guess I'm just lucky the order has such a large number of nephthys and (soon) sehkmet pilots too.
