bombers (discussion only)

[Tenacity]

I might be missing something here but with the range of BS turrets shouldn't it be difficult for a bomber to even get close enough to effectivly torp it?

Most battleships can be hit by even an average gunner at 1-1.5k with a supernova. Nova torpedoes are even easier to hit with but are ineffective on larger battleships if the target's shields are up.

BS primaries may have 2-3k range, but they're also 700-1000m/s projectile speed. Most players can dodge that kind of fire at even 500 meters if they're strafing.

Right now there is only ONE decent point defense weapon for capships, and that's the battleship razor, which has a large projectile (easier to hit with) and 1800m/s projectile speed. Problem is, it's only available to battleships, takes a crapton of energy to fire, and has a slow refire rate. Solarises suck, flaks suck, primaries suck.
