bombers (discussion only)

[ophidian]

If the pilot takes the time to improve his skill in a bomber and too improve his SNAC aiming capability.

Then he has every right to be better than any of the fools that joust him in a fighter.

Any fighter pilots that say:
"Hey how comes that bomber killed me within Two seconds?"

The simple answer is: You are not good enough with that ship, Learn too dodge, learn too strafe and get behind your enemy.

Never...Ever confront and Joust a bomber pilot in a fighter.

Flaming is a bad thing but this is probably one of the worst attitudes that can be held to correct and improve anything.

I am a Keeper and when we go frenzy, we go to a killing spree of 60 or so ships in a row. We do this with good tactics and talent and coordination. BUT piloting skills and ship inequalities are two different things.

We are talking about making the balance more understandable. Sorry that it is an idea that may cause certain people to lose their so beloved blue text messages but if it is to improve the overall gameplay, "learn to love the red text messages about respawning" is a better way.

I have a Sekhmet, a Keeper bomber, a civilian bomber and several other craft that I have experience with. Sekhmet is a brick, and it feels like how a real bomber should be. Remember the Tie fighter games? Tie Bombers being dull but being able to deliver massive payloads? If you pass the fighter shield, cap ship is dead.

Its how it should be. Else, lets all have bombers and fly around. I am sure that it would be amusing to see the overall improvement that pilots had about their "snac aiming".
