Alternative Bomber Type

[khran]

If your going on about the Class 6 Turrets.
Let me make note of something no one else seems to have noticed before:

Freighters and other small transports able to hold up to Class 7 turrets would have to be modified so that they cant use Class 6's

Balance 4 bomber C6 Turrets, to do 5610 damage per second each (combined, 22400 dps, equal to 132000 damage every 6 seconds)
Hello Armored Lolwut Transport weighing in at approximately 39270 damage per second, capable of damaging a ship more than anything else in FL. Then just the general idea that the bomber still has his SN which just fails the thought completely.

Was discussing this with a fellow brother-in-arms and this is what he had to say about this:

"rofl no class 6 turrets because... a few fields would need to change? WTF"

Seriously, it isn't like we're talking re-doing all the class6-mounting ship models here. If anything, the only real argument about Class6 Bomber guns is that someone else might come up with a better use for the Class6 Turret slots. :rolleyes:

Anyway... I think this bomber idea is awesome. I'll even go a step further and suggest that ALL torp slots should be modified to perform in this fashion. :yahoo: This would more or less fix the current SNAC vs Fighters issue and would force Bombers to get in close against Capships. I believe it could also help fix current issues with GB's having a poorly defined roll. A GS/GB would have an easier time staying out of the cone of fire of the "bombs" and would serve capship fleets as a better bomber/fighter deterrent than they currently are. It would also give GBs are reason to mount things other than a full complement of Razors and Pulses. :P
