Subject: Bombers

"I have lately been noticing the superior efficiency of bomber squadrons over capital fleets since Captain Darrow supplied us with three more Challengers. They can fly around the target and evade, exposing themselves only for the short time needed to fire antimatter cannons, or not at all, if Novas can score hits on the target. In a fleet of four, they should be able to handle the same number of capital ships, or even more. When they are out of ammunition, they can simply disengage, get more, and return. If the enemy brings fighters, they can wait for our fighters or capitals, nimbly evading the enemy's fire. Or, if the support is not on its way, retreating wouldn't be hard at all. Capital ships, however, mostly can't retreat, they can't go to resupply in the middle of the battle, and they can't survive for long until reinforcements arrive. Thus, I advise and encourage the use of bombers, especially in Leeds system.
That would be for now. My thanks to Captain Darrow for the Challengers."
