Bomber Weapons

[cmfalconer]

Please leave my SNAC alone. It's fine the way it is. Nova's do more damage than SNACs, but tradeoff is they require ammo. I use a SNAC + TrainCD combination on my bombers, and if you take that away from bomber pilots, woe be unto you.

Bounty Hunters flying their bomber now would just have to watch their prey leave because they'd not have anything to bust hulls. And dont say {insert work as team argument here} because BHG RP says most work alone.

Bombers like the Barghest will be fine, they've already got the best of both worlds and don't really need to make a choice. Sure its the size of a brick $#!+house, and that's why it's got three slots, but that's not the point.

Limiting bombers in this way will just mean that the gunboat will most-likely become the prime anti-cap weapon b/c you can mount a few razors and pulses on one, and have VHFs fight off ... wait, there won't be bombers to kill the gunboats either.

Gunboat-lancer?

@Cam: Battleships are the heavies. Cruisers defend battleships. Gunboats defend Cruisers, Bombers kill heavies, fighters defend heavies against bombers and bombers against fighters.

Roles for ships have been around forever. Most any ship in the sky/sea/space will have a weakness. My bomber hates that pesky LF in it's tail firing three debilitators and a cannonball. That cruiser hates my bomber firing SNACs. That Battleship hates those two destroyers lobbing battlerazors from maximum range while it lumbers along. There is no all-around ship. You can try for one by balancing loadouts, but in the end there will ALWAYS be a weakness.
