The eagle (last time i checked) is a 100% generic ship. free for all. Even generic indie merc/pirates use it cause it makes it easier to pass undetected. (and not to mention the RP purposes.)
So my suggestion is to let it have 2 torp/distruptor slots, 1 for the torp and one for the distruptor making things for pirates and mercs easier to wash out all faction related bombers and stay 100% indie.
or perhaps you hate the idea? i have another one:
if you don't like your favorite civilian VHF become a bomber then i would suggest to add a new ship to the game, a bomber version of the eagle.
than the indies would finally have:
Falcon - light fighter
Eagle - VHF
Condor - Bomber (i suggest "condor" cuz i like it:laugh:and i think it fits the line of bird-named civilian vessels)
well - there is the civi bomber, you know - totally 100% and fully generic, free for all and utterly cute ( if you like fat birds )
so the current bomber name is not "condor" but rather "preggo" - but if you wait for 4.85, it ll have hatched and its gonne be a much nicer bomber then.
yup, there is already a civi bomber. sold on Freeport 11, in Omicron Delta
Some say that he is allergic to a fungus found only between the toes of Corsairs,
and that he is oblivious to 98% of Liberty Law. All we know is... He's called the Busdriver!
