Bomber Weapons

[Jinx]

the suggestion is good..... but i say that as someone that doesn t really like bombers very much ( although i fly them the most )

someone that LIKES bombers might think of it as a nerf... and quite a big one, too. but its a good idea ( if the nova ( ammo based ) was the only hull breaker, i d say - 250.000 is reasonable, too ...

BUT....

now - lets think about ALL the capital ships, not just battleships.

your concept works well vs. battleships, cause you can actually hit them with the nova. - it will be much harder on battlecruisers and cruisers.... hardly possible on some destroyers ( kusari / BHG ) - and ....

surprise.... impossible vs. gunboats.

how do you hit a gunboat with a nova - which MUST have a large blast radius? - you can only hit a gunboat with a nova when you re jousting it, firing the nova right into the approaching ships face. - the downside is .....

while you might hit the gunboat, you will most certainly hit yourself, too. and thats no good feature when you have just recently jousted a gunboat that has most probably taken your shield down.



besides - it doesn t make the barghest THE best pirate bomber.... it makes it one of the best heavy bombers indeed... but for piracy, you need a CD. - or you can only watch all your DPS fly slowly after the laughing trader that has just initiated cruise.
