Bomber Scattergun rant

[The_Godslayer]

The weapon is balanced. I will not be holding a vote to rebalance a weapon that is balanced.

and were this actually Durandalancer 24/7 as some people make it out to be

Hmmmm... that's a big yikes from me, dawg

Now, this post I thought was interesting and actually worth addressing.

Newbies being instakilled by caps is fine, but by bombers it isn't. Because unbiased.

I actually agree with you, and were this actually Durandalancer 24/7 as some people make it out to be, fighter shields would be almost impermeable to all heavy and medium anticap weaponry.

But this isn't my own personal playground, and if it were, we'd have people saying the very same thing you did here,

I mean you can call your own opinion unbiased while killing off an entire ship class.

Except about caps.

You are addressing my points completely out of context. Argument of SNACs being useless against VHFs was countered with "oh but newbies are being instakilled" or something. But % of newbies being instakilled by SNACs will be close to non existant comparing to nuke and cap instakills. Expecially when it will be 1,5 active people who are able to SNAC, namely @Ramke and @-Rax- with their rather limited ingame precense. But generally creating a potential threat to fighters being SNACed will improve bomber gameplay, since you will be at least could force them into the shieldrunning and win some time for yourself.

Stuff that I was writing was mainly to demonstrate that this claim is very hypocritic, not actual balance proposals.

Point that I expected you to address is:

And that's my point smoke, bombers aren't hard counter to anything and they are not universal which is making the whole class useless. There's a better ship class for every single task. Thank you for confirming points I tried to make of bombers being killed off as a class.
