Junker Bomber Hybrid

[mjolnir]

And as I said nerf the firing arc and power but not the CONCEPT of a dedicated GUNLESS/TURRETLESS bomber which is what we are looking for here.

Even if you limit firing arcs to 0 degrees, they still have 20 effective degrees to each side, so 40 degrees together due to projectile exit cone.

"Dedicated bomber" is something that maybe a house military with tons of escorts that aims to down enemy BS would use.

Junker ships should be all about multifunctionality shouldn't they?
CSV/Collector are VHF/freighter mixes, Salvager is GB/Transport mix.

What do junkers actually do now? Defend their bases against tons of caps? ehh no... BHGs can't attack without a bounty.. and there's no bounty on junkers by anyone, cause they are a bit usefull to all.

So what do they do? Mine various things, salvage vessels, trade ... and sometimes rob a lone transport or freelancer.
=> They could use something that takes down transports easier than Collector and can get away with more loot.

EDIT:

Obviously the exact stats would have to be decided by whichever developers decide such things, and then heavily playtested.

That would be me and rest of the team... like Doom, Jure, Blodo, Gurjiv, MarvinCZ +++, the stance I represent here (no superbomber but instead SHF/freighter mix) is shared by at least 4 members of that team.
If you think it should be something else, you have to ask Igiss.
