I think Spazzy has a point in critizising the bomber as a very powerful ship class. Especially the smaller ones that can also stay alive when under snub fire are close to "jack of all trades".
@Skill argument:
Sorry, no skill involved in bombing BS. Nova, Nova, Nova... means: press a key, win. There is NOTHING like skill involved.
I don't know whether price would fix it, but bombers imo ...

At the moment, you can do whatever you want as a CAP: bombers will slay you (with nothing you can do), even if you have fighter cover. Why? Because I can't care less about fighters on my tail when all I have to do is "point into the general direction and press "Torpedo" key".
