Or perhaps have it do a percentage of the hull.

I say just remove the SNAC.
I mean, seriously, you have naval guns bigger than any ship a SNAC can be mounted on that do nowere near as much damage.

And if only a capital ship can beat a capital ship, what is the point of fighters? Seriously, the server will turn into Capfest 09. You might want that, but as I recall, you're a capital ship pilot, so you're opinion on this is biased, and I'm a bomber pilot. Om nom nom.
Thou shalt not question thy holy SNAC. It is the balance of thy universe.
And honestly, if you as a fighter pilot put yourself into the position to be hit by a SNAC, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.

I would be 100% zeinstruktor is his plan was possible within the game mechanics, sadly it is not. Just like armor types that are more effect versus one weapon type over another, we'll just have to file this under, I really wish.

Tell me, do you fly a bomber?
LOCK ME! - me_b_kevin - 05-10-2009
they are an interesting piece of equipment. their range is supposed to be under 2k but i've seen them being shot effectively from around 3k. no i was not thrusting toward the bomber
what is the actual range of those things?

When you're moving, the projectile moves faster and thus travels at a faster rate, allowing it slightly more range.

Depends on the velocity of the bomber as well. The more speed the bomber has behind it, the faster and farther the shot flies.
You want a head scratcher? The Mini Razor does 9700 shield damage, yet it's famously used for blanking out Class 10 fighter shields in a single shot. What's up with that?

Harcourt, no one wants to remove the SNAC. It just needs to be fixed so that Bombers arent the endall answer.
Iv flown solo as a bomber, with a group, against a bomber, against a group.
Trust me, a group of 6+ Bombers is NOT a sight you want to see..
One second, your shields are up and you see 2000 debilitator shots whizzing past your ship.
The next, youv got 10 SNs flying past you, and after a while one gets lucky and hits you.
FL has a Shield Damage Modifier, wouldnt it be possible to do something similar for a Hull Damage Modifier.
That way if a SNAC hits a Freighter (which is all freighters, transports, trains, gunboats, cruisers, battlecruisers, battleships, carriers) it does full damage. While, if it hits an LF, HF, VHF, or Bomber it does .... 1.5% Damage which equals 19,800 damage.
----------------------------------
Kurosora's right, Projectiles speeds are added to ship speeds.
If your flying backwards due to an Ekill at 100 and fire a 700 speed projectile, it would actually be flying at its target at 600m/s
I've hit Salem-Jansen numerous times from 4k coming out of Cruiser with EKill and firing an SN.
----------------------------------
Rudo, people who use Mini Razor as a shield killer more than likely arent Outcasts who use Inferno in its place.:P
However, thats meant to be an anti-fighter weapon / light anti-cap weapon.
SN is, as its only bomber useable, a heavy anti-cap weapon.
