Quote:... become more survivable against fighters. Flying a bomber shouldn't be a safe "be out after like 2 minutes" bet.
I disagree. In a fighter versus bomber scenario, the bomber has good chances of winning. And keep in mind, that bombers, while often targeted first, can insta other snubs as well (which is often done to enemy bombers), and that gives them all the necessary reloads.
Quote:... become useful against a special class (which they are not really at the moment, as the high damage Nova cannot hit anything but a battleship reliably).
... be less dependent on the Snac as a damage dealer
I would like to see a bomber being able to at least reliably duel a gunboat. The problem is, you need at least two of them to combat a mediocre solarisboat. And as for the Novas, that's kinda the point, isn't it? SNAC is for lighter targets, like gunboats and cruisers, while Nova is for battleships. Then again, buffing the damage on the Nova would be a good idea imho.
Quote:... have a buffed snac that allows for +100 or +200 m distance in shots (compared to now) in order to avoid being forced into very close range on every pass (which always drains bots or means insta when facing Razors). Would likely have to fly even faster to give a better chance at hitting GB from larger distance.
More alternatives are always good provided they can be balanced in the damage department properly. Maybe even instead of a snac, have something along the lines of a 2.00 gun with long distance and slow projectiles that could sprinkle little shots of damage upon the enemy ship, while still draining as much as the snac does. Though, that might be difficult to balance in snub fights.
Quote:... have guns that are worth equipping (buff the projectile speed?)
Instead of the projectile speed, I'd rather see the damage buffed or better yet, removed energy consumption.
