Right, is there any particular reason this bomber has a SHF plant? with 3 guns 2 turrets foward its got less firepower than the bhg bomber. The ship faces heavy battleships, i think a heavy bomber plant such as the one the havok or such uses would be more appropriate.
Note, im not asking for stat changes, im asking for the bomber to be just that. Fighting valors with shf plants on ships makes it take a LOOONG time.

What are you talking about? 1722 u/s is the standard light bomber powerplant. See the Roc:

Given that the Brigands bomber is lighter than the Roc judging by armor/bots/bats/etc, I think having the light bomber powerplant makes sense...

Thats the problem. it DOESENT have a bomber powerplant, it has the same one a mafic uses.

1722 u/s is the standard light bomber powerplant. Yes, SHFs use this, but all the other very light bombers (Roc, for example) also use it. There are several levels of "bomber" powerplant.

The Mafic/Spatial have a larger plants than the bomber you are referring to. The Recycler/Mjolnir have less. So I'm not sure what you are getting at there or where your gripe comes from.
The Jaguar has the standard light bomber plant. Just like it should.

Considering it barely fires a snac and is a "light" bomber against all heavy warships. More of an issue of parity dont you think?
Its already got paper armor, id like to see it be useful. Currently the brigand gb outperforms vs capital ships.

From my experience, a light bomber is much more survivable than a heavy bomber in just about every situation. The only time I'd rather have a heavy bomber is for pirating. If you'd like to try it for yourself, take both a Roc and a Waran into Gamma or Alpha on a raid. You'll see which comes out better.

Take a brigand bomber into combat. see how long you last. It doesent HANDLE like a light bomber, making it really sorta pathetic.

the brigands are mainly a pirate faction, if your looking to blow up battleships your doing it wrong. If your fighting the forces of the Gallic king join the counsel or the maqis (or however you spell it)

So your saying our bomber should suck becuase were pirates? The rogues have the bhargest, the hessians the thor. We face heavy battleships but have a light bomber to do it with, that handles like a gunboat?
Not really sensible.
