Another idea about bombers

[... kur nubėgo?]

I know we have a lot of topics recently, but I wanted to post it as seperate to get more attention, because in other threads it may be overlooked or something.

The main problem for bomber balance was that fighters cant take them down while defending cap or transports and fulfil their escort duties.

Well I came up with idea to this...

We already have diffrent cap / fighter truster speeds...

Perhaps bombers could use their own speed too? Something about 160 - 180. Perhaps 170. It wold make fighters to hit them easier, and leaving the other balance stats quite the same, and still gives ability to run from caps if overganked by em. Well perhaps I dont understand something in balance (sure I dont) but well. Im open for opinions of yours about this suggestion. What you think?


(yes we had a thread about diffrent top speeds, for whole ship classes, I know but this is about bombers only, to help balance escorting and useful a bit more)

I believe its been brought up - and I think a SMALL change would work.

Nothing major though.

There was a thread exactly about this just a week ago. no need to open new thread about same topic every week.

Yep... I made a post about diversifying the thruster top speed of all classes to give them each it's role in combat:

The subject had some nice comments, but then died of a little.

And noone found the squirrel I hid heh

No. Bombers will still kill fighters even with slower thrusting speed. Instead of solving aproblem you create a new one. Bombers don't need to be nerfed, fighters need to be buffed.

Buff the fighters and the gunboats will fail agianst them even more (it already does now).

And Im not touching insta killing thing, cuz I dont think its a problem. But about escorting .. yes it should be possible to kill bombers for fighters in dogfights easier. So thats why I came up with this offer.

All in all this gonna effect group fights of bombers squads and fighter squads, making fighters win against bomber more often. So here is your fighter / bomber balance then fightin each other.

This also would make solaris turrets more useful btw

It also nerf their anti-capital abilities too much. Find a way to let fighters kill bombers easier without nerfing Bombers anti-capital abilities, then sure. Until then, leave them alone. I'd rather have Bombers killing fighters than Battleships killing fighters, wouldn't you?

No, Dont buff Gunboats. Traders wont have a chance against them anymore.
Buff Fighters, yeah. But dont nerf Bombers.


Every new Anti-Bomber Topic should be locked immediatly in my honest opinion.

Yeah, why discuss ? It's better when everybody shut up.



Just let people discuss about bombers. If there is so many threads, it's because there is a problem. (orly?)

[alpha3]

Well, that's something I maybe can accepted, if people shut up...But still, I'm against any other nerfing on bombers.
