I have a question...

Why use incapacitators that do 23k damage to shields... and no hull damage, while Novas do 82k to shields and hurt hulls as well?

Also, Hellfire rocket guns.

Useful?
Look at the energy needed to shoot and the refire rate- all of the 3 are useful and useless at the same time- depends- if you have someone to carry some for you- because 70 Hellfires or torpedoes cannot do much in big fight.
Noted, cool.

Perhaps there should be "Ammunition modules" for caps that allow them to carry more ammo for the snubs =P
Just use SNAC's....useful vs fighters too

Novas and the like simply move too slow to be useful against anything but caps/transports....and those are already easily defeated with a SNAC....
I have 4 Hellfires, a Nova, an Incapacitator, and a Nuke on my Waran. It's called Incommin'.Missile, and it's fun. Hellfires are where it's at.
How does it do vs. snubs tho?

I'm not sure you realize what a Bomber's for. >.>

It's meant to be anti-Cap and Anti-Transport. It just so happens if you have the aim or luck, you can insta-kill Fighters with a SNAC.
Are you friggin kidding me....I don't know what bombers are for?

I've pretty much ONLY flown bombers since I started playing here (roc being my preferred ship), and snubs are always a concern for bombers.

Bombers easily defeat larger ships, the snubs are what you have to worry about....
The Waran is screwed vs a another snub, regardless of loadout.
That's why I choose Roc...it's quite capable vs snubs....there isn't any LUCK about it.

Learn to snipe, or fly a vhf and leave the bombing to those with better aim....

EDIT: Hmmm....after re-reading that, I came off like a conceited prick...wasn't my intention, blame the budweiser, but really, that's also why I advocate nukes over screamers.

Bombers don't have to worry about caps and transports, they need to set up their loadout to be as anti-snub as possible....otherwise your as good as dead as soon as the navy/escorts/enemy fighters arrive...
