Thats kind of a given, shinwa.
Seeing as its a unique weapon on its own due to how it must be used.
All other guns are straight-shot guns, firing forward infront of the ship.

I'd say we need a bomber with only enough power to launch a nova, three forward guns, a CD/Torp and a CD slot.

this is how I imagined the Thrudgelmir bomber' second ability to be. Carpet bombing.
right now, all our bombers just do dive bombing. We need them to do strafing run too.

Unfortunately, without some form of bomb sight, it's nigh on impossible to do a level bombing run. Unless this does considerably more damage than a SN, you can bet I'm not gonna be using it...

I don't know if the fuse can be made for this but IF you gave the mine a time/distance interval before it activates (like can be done with torpedoes) and a slow speed, then a real "bomb" could be made for bombers.
To alleviate fighters using it, you require an energy consumption AND cargo capacity for the launcher AND the ammo. That can be tailored for different ship types.
I think it's very doable and worthwhile as a "cap ship" assault weapon. The slow speed of the mines would necessitate joint attacks by multiple bombers too.

isnt that's how bomber should be?
and if we can change "backview" in to bomb aiming HUD..so you can aim abit...
and if Bomber can only use this kind of weapon, give those bomb more damage..since it's specialized

That's what a true bomber would be.

Execpt it points downward. Its a good idea, I support it.

Bombers in atmospheres have down-flying bombs. I see no need for space ones to have them - after all, why not use the increased momentum (of forward flight) in a forward projectile? Firing it backwards/below just seems silly.

What we really need is SNACs making the noise they do in that video.
