Are ships too tough?

[Total.Absolution]

bombers have bottlenose gunship-level armor, and the bombers have so much hp they always kill their target before they die because the fighters cant down them.

Okay. Find me a bomber that has 55K base armor, which is bar none the lowest in the Gunship realm. And has a 140K Capacity shield, the standard in the Gunboat realm.

And an average pilot that uses his head won't die to a bomber unless the bomber pilot either gets lucky, or is a very good shot. Simply put, bombers are bigger, at least for the most part, are slower, and have trouble hitting hull. They may have more hull, but generally the more hull they have the slower they are. Although there are exceptions to this rule. Fighters, on the other hand, are much faster then bombers, -should- have no problem keeping out of the way of the Bombers guns, and still pack enough punch to take down any bomber with ease. Granted some bombers have extremely heavy armor, Fighters still have guns that gun do plenty of damage.
