the SNACis ballanced ..........
agenst battleships/carriers
but they wil lnever change it because people dont think the fact that if they had torpedo wings and sheild busaters the nova and sunslayer would do the job just as well as a snac youd just need numbers(or a way to allow torps to hurt sheilds EMP torpedo plox)

For that matter, do you even know why the torpedos don't get used?

Science doesn't apply in our world of FTL travel, tradelanes, Nomads, Wilde, not-so-frictionless space etc etc.
Also, because of the game mechanics the SNAC cannot become an 'explosive' weapon like the Nova. The reason being for an explosion to damage a shield, it must hit the shield generator. Because capital ships are so large, it is extremely hard to hit this generator, and any ships that have internal shield generators cannot be hit by explosions, hence, no shield damage at all. Game mechanics > Science, sorry.

Unfortunately, bomber wings are about as likely and common as capship escorts.
Great idea in theory, but rarely practiced due to the fact that if even one side has the organization to have bomber wings, the other side likely will not and they're going to be massacred. It's pretty much only for pre-arranged fights and events that you're going to see such organization and tactics on two sides.

Really? I've seen a few around. At least 5 in my time here at disco. Not once have I seen a capship escort however...

simple the "emp torpedo" be akin to the old inferno just idk mabye carry ammo or briong the inferno back or mabye make the SNAC -the- EMP weapon sad to say and ive seen both simmiler skilled pilots fight no lone say TMB Avenger (or JU87 stuka9ie equal to a freelancer bomber)should beable to destroy something like this

Bomber wings or pvp ganksquads?
Sorry, I was thinking along the lines of Jimmy's idea of bombers. Wings of fighters with screamers and sunslayers set up to mow down caps in an organized fashion. I would love to see fights that entail that but it's highly unlikely we will see them often.
That said, Sabres with Infernos rock your socks.

Or the opponent made a critical mistake. The odds of someone screwing up get higher and higher the longer a fight goes on. Mental fatigue sets in, or one party gets impatient and starts throwing defense to the wind to try and end the fight fast.

I wont bother explaining it because you mr.Sindroms arent intelligent enough to understand. But I will try and put it in lamest terms.
SOMETHING GO BOOM! EXPLOSION DAMAGE EVERYWHERE.:crazy:
there very simple to understand just for you.
Hmmm, not really, you don't see me firing an anti armour bullet and die to it. Who knows, maybe it works like a fugast round for anti tank, the explosion is very small, but the damage is in the sudden burst of air pressure inside the vehicle, where, from the impact, the parts of inside armour is turned to shrapnel to tear apart anyone who is inside.
The snak, however, is an antimatter cannon, so, the idea is it cuts trhough it's target without an explosion. If there is no explosion, why should I die? Sure, decompression is one thing, but I am sure my own armor can deflect shards and all.
EDIT: Right, I need to be immature.
OLOL UR MOMS FAECC SIS O UGLEY

SNACing requires skill, really, especially if your target is a fighter with at least some bit of brains, he will loop, dodge, strafe, do EVERYTHING not to be lined up.
Killing such an opponent with the games most slow projectile weapon is a satisfaction no?
