What do YOU think of these new bomber weapons?

[Captain]

well bombers are nearly useless against fighters

we'll see how this story will end

Yay, so now Bombers can destroy capital ships even more easily.
That is mixed good and bad.

Oh, look.
Transports now stand no chance. Peachy.

That barely begins to make up for it.

Sprolf made a funny! The new transport turrets can kill gunboats with ease. Spaz took out a cruiser with a Pirate Train. Can we stop whining about bombers, please?

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

I'd like them a lot more if my bomber could mount them.:P

I like them, more realistic. Bombers should be used as bombers.

If I were to make bomber guns, I'd make them do double damage but also double the energy needed for it. I think that 4.00 is still way too much for a bomber, even if the speed of it is only 350 m/s.

Aside from wanting faction specific versions, my verdict is "excellent".

This was the simplest possible way (so simple I never thought of it) to turn a bomber from a PWN-Mobile into a dedicated anti-cap ship. The bomber is still the ultimate weapon, when it comes to pirating lonely transports, smuggler interdiction, and anti-cap fleet combat. However, when faced with fighters, they better cut and run, or have an escort of their own - as it should be.

The only place where I feel the bomber is now a bit weak is vs gunboats. Gunboats imho are just a little bit too small and agile, and they prove problematic for bombers. I'm not sure though, as it'll need more testing.

As the week goes by, I'm sure the matters of the new weapons' dps will be evaluated, and if necessary edited.

Overall, I'm happy. The bombers now have a niche to work in, as it should be. Job well done!

Well, I will still be eficient against those that whine they got their VHF SNACed. But decent VHF pilots, the fighter pilot will probably win.

Let also hope people will understand that GB are crap for pirating and they will go to bombers instead, which is more RP.

And as a LPI, I have to say that to kill these smugglers (Well, the amount of them might lower a big bunch with zoners and smuggler IDed pirate trains now unable to dock on 'hatten.) and the blockade runners that just try to flee, w/o RP at all.

He drew a Pirate Trans silly.

Anyway, I like the new guns. Good for bombers. Nothing good for fighters yet though.
