Today's event aside (because respawning was allowed) bombers are by far the least flown combat class in the game. They always die first to VHFs and nobody bothers with large bomber swarms anymore, and the class itself is still boring to fight caps in even after the rework.

Bombers are far from overpowered otherwise everyone'd be flying them, as is the standard in Disco. It happened with the Switchblade, it happened with the OSC Shuttle, it happened with the old Cougar or Bergelmir, Kusari Explorer, etc. They aren't overpowered because of the inconsistency of torpedoes and them dying much quicker than a fighter as soon as they're focused. I'm guessing you're saying that because you were jousting one and got obliterated by the guns or the SNAC. Don't joust a bomber. They're good at killing people bad in pvp (consistently).

Every single hostile ship I've encountered playing has been a bomber. Almost always pirates too. Sometimes other factions, (Gallia for instance), but when I'm on, it's ALWAYS bombers.

Because bombers are literally the only one that can properly kill a transport in due time without you having to fire and fire constantly at some stupid cau7 transport for 1 minute. A bomber can easily shave off 3/4 of that time. Not to mention at least with bombers you have a fighting chance versus your weaknesses.

LF, HF, VHF, and Freighters make chicken scratches to a gunboat and capital ships.
