Bomber "don't you dare!" suggestion

[CzeReptile]

there "might" be a way to make the SNAC useless vs. fighters...

- introduce two armour types

- gunboats to battleships : armour type 1
- fighters and transports : armour type 0

SNAC damage vs. armour type 1 ( 100% ), vs. armour type 0 ( 0% )
i believe it is possible - but not 100% sure - i remember asking cannon once and he said it "might" be possible.

How about making it distance based vs fighters? Or how about making bombers actually bombers, no all around solution to everything. You know, big mean fofo things that fire big bad projectiles that kill capitals but are seriously easy taken down by fighters. That encourages that roleplay everybody is using so often here, making you go out in group.
To add to that, make caps useless vs anything but other caps. Give bombers role. Give cruisers role. Heck, give ships role by their name, not dreams of ingame balance by few people who love to pwn everything in the Waran or whatnot. This aint flame at all, just saying. Battleships are huge targets only really, you gotta fly truly crap to get shot dead by it, and ive seen the end of dozens and dozens of them on various craft.
Fighter weapons should get the 0% damage vs battleship hull and like 10% vs cruiser hull. Make groups people, roleplay if you enforce it so badly, especially those few considered elite who yell most against any changes, since now VHF swarm > anything. Ive seen it in action.

Go on,nerf bombers more.
People will buy caps instead.
Then we will nerf caps.
People will buy fighters->Nerf!
Eventually,the barge will be the best pvp ship around.
No seriously,bombers are just fine.
People need to learn to swallow their pride and accept the fact the have been fed with antimatter from a fat,ugly and slow Waran.

Why the nerfing, Ill point to what I wrote above. Roles for ships, groups for people, no more lone hunting stuff. Even pirate NPC patrols are few in numbers, probably for lulz cuz in the TRU RELITY of discovery, single pirate can whack a convoy. Go nerf then.



What am I saying is again, ship difference by roles. Best to refer to - Starlancer, that sums it up sooo nicely.
