I think that is the issue, part of the thing is I have heard a few people quote Igiss that he doesn't want the battleships owning everything in sight. I agree with this, which is why I agree with Behemoth on his special shield blaster idea, which if tweaked properly could be made to only be effective against cap ships.
The way I think a bomber shield buster should work would be to be an unmountable item (For example, liberty Cruiser Forward Gun) way I see this possible is set the weapon class as like class 11, so if it is un-equipped you have to rebuy the ships. Each bomber would have a different look to the weapon based on their faction, and slightly different statistics.
All ideas and I know Igiss is listening.
Combined with a pretty beef shield upgrade and power tweaks to the battleships (Not touching weapons current damage) I think the bomber upgrade idea behemoth presented (Unless that is what Igiss was already doing, which it still would>) would work pretty well.
