Bomber "don't you dare!" suggestion

[EisenSeele]

Make the SNAC do EMP damage only.

Novas will work on shields and hull next mod.

Give bombers much faster guns.

:/ But but, no more solitary bombers getting overconfident enough to razor anymore:(

But yeah, that would be awesome:D

By the way, would uber mines dropped from bombers work well against caps as a primary weapon?

Could do, yeah.

Would be hard to abuse.

First off... There's so many bullcrap being said here it's painful to look at.

Are you refering to your own post? Because it certainly was painful to look at with your incomplete research and taking things out of context.

Second: The SNAC is very much overpowered. If you wanna talk about it being fine? Comparison:

LM: 150,000 hull damage, 75,000 shield damage, 4020 m range, 600 m/s speed, refire 0,25, 1,000,000 energy.

SNAC: 132,000 hull damage, 66,000 shield damage, 1960 m range, 280-480 m/s speed, refire 0,17, 29,740 energy.

Now, will someone please explain to me why exactly a CAPITAL SHIP antimatter weapon, is only slightly better in stats, than a bomber antimatter weapon, while costing exactly 33,6 times more energy? What, the monstrous 18k more damage? The abysmal 2k more range, which matters zilch since no capship guns capable of hitting a bomber go over 2k? What, "throw mortars at the bomber"? Which he can see clear as day heading straight at him and needs to only tap a strafe key to dodge it?

That's very good. But you forgot to factor these numbers into your equation. Your statements are misinformed and irrelevant, and your data is incomplete.

An average Light Bomber has 38,200 u of power recharging at 1,722 u/s. It takes roughly 3/4 of the energy of this bomber to fire the SNAC and takes 11 seconds to recharge sufficent power to fire the weapon again.

An Average Light Cruiser has 1,400,000 u of power and a recharge rate of 95,000 u/s. It takes roughly 2/3 of the powercore to fire the LM and takes 7 seconds to recharge sufficent power to fire the weapon again.

When you put those numbers in perspective it is actually more energy efficent to fire a Light Mortar than it is to fire a Supernova from a Bomber.

Comparing the energy use and efficency ratings of two entirely different shipclasses is about as productive as getting milk from a bull. It says nothing about your argument other than you're grasping at straws.

But not ONE bomber versus ONE capital ship. That's just ridiculous.

That is the overstatement of the year. Either that or you're the worst capital ship pilot of all time, if that is your experience. However I'm sure you'll say it's not your experience, in which case you're just posting useless conjecture in order to place more emphasis through exaggeration.

Speaking of not doing full reports on the subject, you seem to be leaving out the fact that the bomber can AVOID anything the cruiser can throw at it, wheras the cruiser is rather large target and unless the bomber is snapping off shots at maximum range, isnt going to be able to avoid it.

[color=#FFFFFF]I beg to differ. A single bomb sunk the USS Arizona. And quite frankly FL is just WWII warfare in space...

That's because Cruisers don't serve much purpose other than agitating Gunboats and sniping Battleships, they're not supposed to fend off bombers.

Cruisers are dead in the water to bombers.

I said this one and a half years ago. People laughed at me.

Now that Novas will work against sheilded Caps, come 4.86, it's not so far-fetched.

or just remove the SAC and razor and buff the torps.

A single bomb hitting a precise location on the ships deck in order to penetrate to the ammunition magazines. Here in FL.. Doesn't matter where you hit, same damage anyways.
