Star Wars Bombers

[Arioch]

2. The SW VIII bomber concept is just trash, I remember the good old times when the bombs of the Star Wars bombers were the good old Proton Torpedoes.

Agreed, though the whole concept of these bombers is because the resistance has no where near the resources the Rebel's did in the OT. They are older (30+ years old bombers), but they are all the resistance had.

I agree to the physics problem there, but keep in mind that objects with a high mass generate a gravitational force, the bombs shouldn't have fallen that fast but instead they should have slowly moved towards the dreadnaught. And yeah, Proton torpedoes, like our own nova torpedos are much better as a concept overall.

Check out this description regarding the bombs: "The modular bombing magazine, called the "clip" by the bomber's crew,[1] would drop the bombs through sequenced electromagnetic plates in the clip, which propelled the bombs to "drop" in microgravity environments. The bombs would then be drawn magnetically to their targets."

Would be interesting to have something similar for Disco - You drop "bombs" or Mines that have a shorter range, but will seek out Capital ships only. High damage, but slow moving so they can be picked off if you're good.
