My nerf failed, he only became more powerful.

Jokes aside, I feel like this was an appropriate change. Yes we've all had fun going on a snac-spree, sending down fighters with a lucky or well-aimed shot, bombers simply have too many strengths over fighters, even with their lack of manueverability. A snac was essentially an insta-kill MR, and even now dual-nova's murder anything, and you can escape if you're good enough.

The fact of the matter is, you can't pop novas with Mines anymore, you can't target fighters and hit them with them (unless theyre asleep) and the only time it's effective is if a hairball is chasing a double nova bomber around a capital ship/asteroid field

One of the worst changes ever made.
Way to erase the primary reason to play the bombers. Now you're better off picking pretty much anything else over them in battles.
SNACing snubs always felt rewarding and it was never easy to do. If you got SNACed it was mostly your fault.
Except occasional dual Nova memes, there is simply no fun to be found in bombers after this change.
It's sad that players who have mastered the SNAC get their toy turned into water cannon after the weapon has been present for almost 10 years and now it's suddenly not good for the game, because someone can't counter it.
Meanwhile, using turret zoom to aim takes a lot more skill :^)

I probably didnt word it well, but I was talking about the SNAC itself which was the most fun thing about bombers.
It was most useful against caps, sure, but it also gave you a chance against snubs if you were good enough, which is now not possible except with insane minespam which will work only if you're really lucky.
Edit:
If Im being chased by a fighter, all I have left to do in the bomber is shieldrunning. So much fun.
