Alternative Bomber Type

[Guest]

Bombers in atmospheres have down-flying bombs. I see no need for space ones to have them - after all, why not use the increased momentum (of forward flight) in a forward projectile? Firing it backwards/below just seems silly.

Um.......good question, wait no.... Because its the same crap over and over.
Is it an unwritten rule somewhere within Freelancer itself that all guns must be fireable parallel to the ship? I think not. The concept is unique compared to the general idea of a forward firing gun, and therefore it must be unacceptable? I will add those two to the list at once, good sir. Thank you for informing me.

As Yue said, the backward torp-firing capability shown in the video is essentially what the Thrudgelmir (aka Fafnir) was designed to do. Which in hindsight is where the idea came from.

Unwritten Rules of Freelancer:
All ships must be longest on their Z Axis (just an observation, outside the few corsair fighters there arent really any ships that stray from this)
All guns must fire parallel to the ship's plane
All unique concept ideas are, for lack of an outside-the-box interest, unacceptable
