Highly maneuverable and extreme firepower through the SNAC. No thanks.
These would be bombers with a practical immunity to their main enemies - fighters.
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.

I have to say, this is rather annoying. I put this up for discussion and revision, and Im largely met with nonsensical answers coming from people who seem to have not even read and considered the idea itself.
Yes, it's slightly more agile than most bombers; As such, any hull damage taken is critical. Hell, a couple of "lucky" shots from a solaris, and it's in flames
Yes, it couples this agility with an SNAC; as such, it either has 2, or no bomber guns (depending on whether we reconcile that in this thread), which thus limits it from attacks on ships other than heavy vessels. It also counters this with a crappy powercore.
Yes, it's smaller (unless that's changed in our discussion); guess what? If any fighter makes even an average effort at tailing one of these, it's still dead. Even a bolstered shield cant save it.
Now, can we actually have a reasonable discussion on how it can be made better, instead of everyone spamming "NOWAI NO WANTZ Q.Q"
' Wrote:What class of ships are you imagining that this "light bomber" would be good against that bombers aren't already good against?
This idea was conceived more to fill the gap of a ship COMPLETELY dedicated to attacking heavier vessels, rather than the jack-of-all-trades vessels that most bombers are.
