Broadsword needs to be upgraded

No one uses the bomber. :|
Why? very fat and it is not even a heavy bomber to compensate a little. What is up with those engines too? Who would think to do that? Why not put them on the bottom or something or inside?

The model needs an upgrade and so does the states and placements of the guns.

Please.

This ship right now is not used at all. I would be surprised if someone did use it.

This ship and the Upholder suffered from the same problems back in .85 and were about on par with each other. The Upholder got buffed, the Broadsword did not. Probably worth looking at, yes.

I use it. Feel free to be surprised. Updating it would be nice.

And I love you.

how's the experience?

The Broadsword probably also uses its skinwrap shield bubble as its hull hitbox. It was an interesting anomaly when I composed a list of hull and shield volumes for future bomber changes.

All I ever really seem to fight in it are transports, which it is fine for. It feels big and slow for what it is.

It feels big and slow for what it is.

then it should get an extra torpedo slot and be made into a heavy bomber and not a medium bomber

Wrong account should be @nOmnomnOm

I would suggest against doing so, unless you want the Lane Hackers to fall in the same problem as Rogues were before the Hyena revamp.
Rogues only had a heavy bomber and a light one at 90% core.

Lane hackers, however, can use a heavy bomber at 90% as the Waran, where the nerf is less noticeable. Give it a befitting buff, but leave it as a light bomber.


EDIT: Alternatively, you can go on with the suggestion I did back in LR- times and make all Zline ships with the exception of the Gunboat and Cruiser as generic pirate ships.

Its a borderworld bomber just like the Cutlass.

Also, don't forget to check the Havoc II which is worse than the Broadsword.

Have to agree. Broadsword is arguably the worst bomber in the game and definitely needs some love.
