Bomber Loadout

[Derkylos]

Novas are awesome in group fights 'coz you can drop them from 3-4k away from the target, which most likely will not be paying attention to you and therefore not "flakking" them. OTOH, they are useless against light GSs like the Gaian or BHG ones or freighters, as they can just outmaneuver the slow tracking missiles.

Theoretically, a SNAC would be preferable against Gun-ships/boats.

Oh, and the EMP torpedoes are rubbish. They have the range of a SNAC and the accuracy of a Nova, meaning anything you can safely get close enough to shoot them at will be able to dodge them.

As for guns, EMP cannons are great for GB shields and when a cruiser shield regenerates, assuming you can get close enough to hit whilst not dying, whereas "normal" cannons are pretty good at attriting hulls once your big guns have stripped their shields.

I personally don't like the rocket pods much, as they seem very hard to aim, while suffering from all bomber guns' drawback of low range for an anti-cap gun. Plus, they run out of ammo fast when I use them.
