Cruise Disruptor/Torpedo Hardpoint

Correct me if I am wrong cause I still need to test this theory.
But you can not do shield and hull damage at the same time with a nova hit.
Meaning, for the hull to get damage, the shields have to be down before the hit registers.
Try killing a few Xenos with just the novacannons by NY/Colorado Jump gate, in their little star flyers.

The only way this would be a threat for fighter class ships is with pulling off a two nova hit with a fraction of a second within the hit registers.aka instant kill.

It generally takes you a couple of seconds to be able to shoot again. What would happen if the opponent gets behind you ?
With turning radius like a rhineland bomber and the only ability to attack is with real slow novas, the only option I see for this ship is to CD the heck out of the opponent and dropping mines. then what after your stash runs out? I believe then the bomber is dead in the water. Remember if you get disrupted, you would still be able to out flank it with a little engine kill and thrusters. What strategy do you think would work against, lets say a Raven's claw, if you can not kill it in one pass? I really would like to hear your input in this.

This would be a pretty strong ship against bigger ships and traders and other bombers but pretty weak agains the fighter class. But fighters would be able to kill it very easity with just avoiding the slow guns (what is it 200 kph ?), out turning it and getting behind it. (No rear ward turret). Imagine what a Wyrm can do to this ship with a CD.

I see this ship promoting more escorts and a new emergence of escort economy. Also lighter fighters will have a new use. Destorying this class of ships.
