Its what happens. If 3 fighters are needed to end a GB, then you need a huge fleet to deal with an ordinary pirate squad. And that means the GB is a nub.Wanna know why? A good GB, would have CDed your missles right into your face. And it requires massive fighter spam to remove a Pirate hoarde, then why fly a fighter? its only so much trading for a GB, and it is so muuch more powerful. And what you propose reduces a bomber to useless. and an easy target. A CD that isnt TCD, if fired randomly will ramm straigt into your torps, blowing them in your face. this is a common tactic. infact, i use it to set off my own mines in a deadly exploding trap. but i digress. But BS Being utterly epic is increasing realizim for dropping playability. Plus it aint easy to take out a cruiser either
