ADMIN NOTICE: 3 deaths rule

[Dab]

2 Forward guns on any ship is definitely overkill. Plus, the Battlecruisers just wouldn't fit like that.

About the bombers. People this is why you have gunboats and fighters. Your mad about a bomber taking out a single BS, well you shouldn't be flying a BS solo anyway. This has been known for centuries. In the real world a single BS is weak to submarines and airplanes, because the destroyers and gunships are meant to take down the submarines and airplanes.

Okay, so the RH Bomber has 125 bb/sb. Now, have a fighter go after one. The bomber attempts to line up for a shot on a capship, the fighter is right behind him. The fighter can eat off 1/2-3/4s of the bomber's hull in that first pass alone. The bomber can take about 4 bars off a GB in one pass. The bomber will run out of bots VERY fast against a fighter. Tip here; USE FIGHTERS.

You guys think the BS and cruiser should be able to waltz around anywhere and not have to fear anything but other battleships and cruisers. Then when you find a bomber or two beating the crap out of your cruiser, off to the forums you go. This mod isn't meant to make one class of ship the best of the best. Its here to BALANCE them all. The bomber fulfills this by being able to take capships down, but not costing prohibitive fees that are generally unavailable to most pirate bands.The big factions like SA, SF, UOG, etc have missed the purpose of fighters in this game, and because of that, you guys keep losing to the factions that DO use fighters and bombers. Your expecting to simply overpower your enemy. That doesn't work, and its been proving many times in the passed. Group of 10 capships can die to a group of 3 bombers. A group of 5 caps and 5 fighters WON'T die to a group of 3 bombers.
