Taiidan Bomber

[mjolnir]

You know there comes the paradox of Corsairs using Tigersharks from NEUTRAL faction that has exactly the same stats as their bugged Arrwing.

..... and they got sanctioned.....

Now Xenos are using Taiidan from hostile faction sold on neutral base, that has better stats than the civilian one.

The problems with civilian one that I know of:
- docking problems ( solved by using quick dock)
- some equipment mounting problems (solved by mounting and unmounting before you launch)?

As to how useless the civilian one is.... it's nowhere near as bad as Barghest and it's better than the Thor.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another point would be what they are used for...

Almost all the time I see some Xenos hunting LSF fighters in it and screaming "capwhore" when a single GB comes, and trying to "arrange" fights with LSF so that no capships come.

LSF/SA fighters are nowhere near the most agile in the game, so the bomber takes ages to kill (partly due to the bugged hitbox), while he has all the time in the world to spam SN shots. The bomber powerplant also compensates for the energy use of Xeno guns.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@ Mule: BHG bomber is much easier to hit that the Taiidan due to proper hitbox, it also has the smaller powerplant not the big one like the Taiidan.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway this should not be all about Xenos and Taiidans, I'm as much (maybe more) interested about other factions using them.
