SNAC and Nova - Friday - 08-18-2009
As for VHF vs Bomber - there is a proposal around to increase weapon projectile speeds.
That should help with Fighters in pursuit of the less agile bombers...

It all depends on both the skill of the bomber and fighter, as well as a matter of luck, and catching them by surprise.
I managed to SNAC an ex-Phantom flying a Blood Dragon VHF in my Roc bomber. Well, their shields anyway. That was lucky
They hardly jousted me, or rather, barely gave me time to react when they did. They looked at me, shot off a few rounds, then veered away, giving me no time to fire off any decent shots. It's a matter of skill, and how you use it ladies and gentlemen.

Battleships, cap ships and all that get way to cocky. Its the bombers job to put them in their place. To do that, im thinking Nova or SNAC will do the trick. And besides, without those two as tough as they are, caps would be all powerful=No good=bad mod

I voted yes. You could hire escorts, but the bombers would ignore them and still bombard the capital ships with SNAC and Nova Torps. Battleships are supposed to cost Millions, probably Billions of credits to construct. And they can be destroyed by two bombers. Why would anyone even bother to make them, and just invest every penny into fighters and bombers.
And I was the 100th voter:D.

I don't think these things are overpowered. I used to have a pirate bomber, and I'd frequently find myself up against high level freelancers who instantly attacked me. My guns did nothing, even direct hits from a SNova barely fazed those beasts... they still scare me...
What does strike me as odd is that I can hit NPC Sabres with these things and they don't much care, yet everyone keeps complaining about their heavy battleships getting taken out by a pair of bombers...

The SNAC is fine the way it is. Bombers are meant to take down capital ships. If you don't want them to take down your capship, then I suggest you get a gunboat, since you need 4 or 5 bombers to take GB's down.
The Nova should be more powerful in my opinion, since people die using it anyways...
Lies..4-5 bombers to take down a GB ? yeah right, me and a friend took down 2GBs, and another bomber alone, with constant missle spam to our arses. 2 Bombers are enough to take down a GB, 1 doesnt have enough power since the shield regens too fast, but, it could work if you have like 1 SNAC, and 1 nova..awesome..I should try that...
Oh and..to the poll...NO Mmkay ? its good the way it is, though increasing Nova's damage would be nice.
Oh and, 2 bombers cant take down a cap(I mean a big cap), unless the bombers have really good skill, or that you suck. Ego time, 2 bombers have tried..3 bombers have tried..when I was alone in my carrier..but they failed..FLAX FTW

In the end, however, you have to admit that gunboats are harder to take down than capships in a bomber...
Cruisers are bombermeat.

Just like battleships fall pray to two cruisers so too cruisers fall pray to two bombers
SNAC and Nova - Domjan - 08-21-2009
Well I think SNAC should NOT be changed because of the following reasons:
1) After all bombers are not for everyone so not everyone has a SNAC
2) I think SNAC has a great balance of speed and power
3) SNAC's do significantly less damage than NOVA plus they are antimatter and cost 7 millions for a reason
4) If we lower the power of SNAC bombers will usually get killed in a fight against caps
5) No 5
6) Why are you even reading this?
-empty space-
8) ... go on with your life ...
And maybe NOVA's speed should be 10% higher than it is, after all if you have a bomber with a NOVA you don't stand a chance against a GB.
SNAC and Nova - jshkornmiller - 08-21-2009
i don't think so, i believe they are at the correct balance. Bombers in are supposed to pack a punch. Remember the Stuka, the Sturmoviks Grumman TBF Avenger and the lovely A-10 Thunderbolt they all pack a lot of firepower for small aircraft.
