a REQUIREMENT for The Sehkmet (future Order Bomber) to be a good ship - Carme - 12-06-2008
Okay, so we all know that the model of the Sehkmet is essentially a Nephthys with Dual Torpedo tubes...
Weeeelllll....
I have a problem, and it is very serious...
I recently acquired a Praetorian Bomber for my Order vessel, only to find out that you cannot use Tizzies on it, because its Shield busters have no forward Arc, resultingly one or two Codies/Gnomies must be swapped for Coladas to allow for viable shield busting, this is wrong, therefore a REQUIREMENT for the Sehkmet is the following:
Nephthys has two Class 9 guns on its wings, and one class 5 Turret on its Vertical stabilizer/fin...
then it has another Four gun spaces, all class 10...
It is incapable of firing these continuously, because it has a fighter powercore.
Now my little issue is that I do not like having to fly out in front of my target and tail gunning him to be able to shield bust, (With the Praetorian) only to find its back online again a second later when i turn around to shoot him with a SNOVA (On the Praetorian) THEREFORE: The Sehkmet should swap out two of the Nephthys wing guns for Class 5 Turret spaces for Tizzies to mount on.
This will solve a possible (very important) issue for the future Order Bomber, so that I don't have to get pissed off and go steal a Taiidani or Civii from FP11 instead, because I want to be able to survive in space....
all this said, according to my description, The the ship will look like this:

And before you say it:
YES the Sehkmet should be the most shield-busting bomber, The Order needs *some* kind of advantage over hostiles, seeing as we have the most enemies of all (who don't have member restriction, i.e. Wild, Nomads/Keepers, Phantoms etc.)

so 4 class 10 weapons and 3 class 5 turrets? is this for the order bomber? cus no bomber has 8 guns, well i dont think.. and btw, 2 coladas and 2 codes are more than enough for the bomber, i fly the praetorian and i use 2 coladas and 2 codes, and there jsut for sheild bashing, and for the nice colours = codes, other than that Learn 2 kill people with youre SN.

Fool! we can't go around using a SNova to "Coup de Grace" every target we have... what about major battles involving capital ships, where all bombers have to aim their torpedoes for the enemy caps?
(and there are enemy fighters protecting the caps)

at the end of the day Dei, i dont think you need to worry. I have full faith in the Balancing team to get everything right. ^^ But you shouldn't go around saying "this has to have this, or else."

I don't think that's necessary. With balancing and all we'll be fine.

Or you could be a real fighter pilot and not use shield busters in the first place as a place-holder for lack of an accurate hand.
... Y'know... Maybe.

um... I think that deserves a "lol wut?"
so...
@Magoo! : lol wut?
*edit:* I am busy writing up a battle report in the Bs| message dump, I'll be back later.

A bomber with 7 foward firing weapons? You're kidding, right?
Dude, most bombers only have 4 foward guns. Only massive bombers like the Barghest have -5- foward firing guns. The BHG Bomber has 5 guns, but it has disadvatages when it comes to size and power supply.
Seriously, you use two shield busters and two code/class9s/nomads if you want shield busting. There is no way in hell a bomber with 7 foward firing guns would exist. Everyone and their sister would start writing up RP reasoning to fly one.

Aim better.
It's perfectly possible for a bomber with codes and reapers to take down a fighter's shields quickly. Besides, your energy gives you a huge edge over everyone else.
