First of all, give bombers a big shield. Something like 100k, but with the caveat that it was of a different variety than every other type of fighter shield. And only bombers could equip it.
...
Thoughts?
Why not just give also the 'smaller', right now more agile bombers all a shield like the Barghest/Thor (read 'huge' bombers') have.
That would be a boost for those ships while maintaining their current agility as it is.
For that maybe boost HF/VHF guns in their speed up to 900 (1000 seems here a bit much to me).
Bc, if you want to give those Bombers a 100k shield, you would need to make them massivly less agile, to prevent even more bomberspam. Lunaphase mentioned it, a current 'smaller' bomber with a 100k shield would more as be 'uber', not to mention the whole balance-issue it creates.

' Wrote:Bad Idea.
Like I continue to say, what we need to do is:
-Remove the SNAC
-Add additional torpedoes each with it's own use, different damage types, blast ranges, etc.
-Remove all gun hardpoints from bombers, and give each bomber 3-4 missile hardpoints plus a CD hardpoint
-Buff Fighter guns to 1000m/s speed.
1. "You shall not question the holy SNAC!"
2. Good idea, that has my full support. More different Torpedos would be really nice, i can imagine a EMP version like we got it for the mine types fe.
3. Ahem, 'Missilespam' ? If you want to go with the idea of removing the gunslots from bombers, why not add more torpedo slots instead of missile ones?
4. See above quote-answering please.
' Wrote:I still do not understand why people keep complaining about changing the bombers.That aside, your 100k shield ideea would give balancing headaches.
cuz olol I got pwned by lolzorkevin14YOallmahteeth with a SNAC
I don't know who was the mandolarian BHG bomber yesterday on KNF/BAF event, I'm not sure he lasted really long. Ask him:)

Ha, indeed... When BAF killed more than half of KNF and CR, I noticed, that there was one MM BH bomber, I called grimly and it was down in two minutes.
BOMBERS ARE FINE AS THEY ARE! And stop making dumb threads about it every day!

Well duh. But it's not always possible to hit a Kusari Dessie or Liberty Siege Cruiser from 2k range when they have a half-decent pilot who doesn't sit still and try to pew pew you. Ships like that you have to get up-close and personal to blow the crap out of. Not to mention Gunboats, you won't have a chance in hell of hitting those from outside their gun range.

No kidding. There should be a forum dubbed ''Flamery''. Maybe people will get it out of there systems there and be more productive in the rest of the forum.
This after a few comments posted at me and pm'ed towards me -
Chill out people, it's just a game. And if you were that high and mighty you wouldn't be sitting here playing a game you'd be doing something better with your life than sitting here making personal shanks in someone's side.
