' Wrote:I still want to see bombers that have 3-4 torp slots and only 2 guns.
I've started drawings of a new breed of bombers based on vunverable freighters. So far I've started the Liberty bomber drawings, then I'll do the Bretonia and Rhienland and kusari ones. So far with the Liberty one, I've got the idea of to weapon mounts and four torpedo slots (pure torp slot, no CD option).
The idea would be, the ship would come with the four torpedo slots ready brought, with two of the torps being EMPs and the other two being hull busters. The EMPs would have a larger blast radius in order to reach shield generators on battleships, while the hull busters would have a much smaller radius for when the shields are down.
Each of the torps would be a different weapon, so you'd have Liberty EMP Torp 'A' and Liberty EMPT Torp 'B', which would allow more torpeods to be carried.
The other part of actual torpedos being used instead of 'energy cannons' is that flak turrets would gain another use seeing as they could shoot down torpedos. This would work especially well if the torpedos had a huge range, so the Torpedo incoming warning could be heard and reacted to.
Anyway, ideas? I don't want to waste time drawing concepts then nagging someone into helping me with the modeling part if it's a bad idea.
