A new ship type

[Lance_Uppercut]

I like the idea a lot.
When I think bomber, I like what we have for anti-cap fighters, but there aren't really "bombers" per se...



Like this. Kinda, y'know... totally screwed on their own against fighters, but with some protection, can wreck capital ships and/or stations.

I'd like to see tactical bombers.

That's not a tactical bomber, that's a strategic bomber.

What we have in-game right now are tactical bombers. We don't have strategic bombers, but that's mostly because there's no strategic targets to destroy. We can't blow up stations or bomb planets (yet).

Tactical bombers blow up tanks, warships, and bunkers. Strategic bombers blow up factories, industrial complexes, even entire cities.

Well this could be something right between those two. It's not so small as a tactical bomber, but it's also not big enough to be a strategic bomber. So it a) a stratecal bomber, or b) a tactegic bomber

Those black faces mean the normals are inverted. The model itself is extremely bulky, lacking in detail, and nothing about it rings freelancer at all, on top of which you are using an engine grill texture for wings...

Start over, model it in max, and look at some vanilla ships for inspiration on where to place your details/textures, because as it stands now it's not going to make the cut.

As far as balance specifics go, short answer = no. Long answer = Not going to happen because it'd be way too overpowered against caps. Yes, it's giant size would make it easier to kill, but it's still not going to happen, and you'd be best off trying to make a regular ship type instead.
