the bomber balance is absolutely disgusting right now, im not sure who did it but it is easily the absolute worst experience one can have in this game.
as a trader when i used to play a whole lot you could defy a pirate in a bomber and attempt to flee.
now there is 1 option you capitulate or you near instantly die.
making this relationship between pirates and traders boring as there is no variance in the interaction.
you die so quickly infact that really the bomber might as well have administrator cannons.
if you're more than 4k from a place to dock you're 100% dead.
It is an experience that made me actually think "wow, maybe there really is no saving this place".
Not only would I not want to ever experience that again, id never want anyone else to experience that either.
Why would anyone ever put themselves through that?
