I think it's really great that GMG uses bombers for everything, but there is this one little issue that gunboats can displace bombers pretty easily, so relying on bombers for defense can be countered with a single ship.

GMG has access to Zoner cruisers at 90%, and a couple of others at 25%, so its not like they will be raeping the sigmas or anything. Yes they can use gunboats too, however their only option with no nerf is Kusari Explorer, the zoner gunboat (lol) at 90%, and the others at 25% nerf. Kind of limited. Let them use the zoner cruisers, and they will be able to defend against tridentes and imperators pretty well, and then can use their bombers for everything else.

Well I see only use for Corvo as super-deep exploration vessel into Crow nebula remote places.

GMG specifically turned down the use of Capital Vessels.

It's probably why they have (what I hear is) an awesome bomber.

There was a sig here, once.

Yeh, bomber is really awesome. It is heavy and very compact-built.

More like why it wasn't nerfed like the rest of the bombers.

Having a lack of capitals isn't really a problem... inRP

Capitals are at a severe disadvantage in the gas clouds and nebulae of the sigmas. The GMG has managed to defeat a Rheinland megafleet through the use of snubs alone.

The real problem is defending against lolwut Corsairs and Outcasts (thanks for removing Eta's gamma hole... not) raiding in Legates, Ranseurs, and Tridentes (the only three ships that are really a problem...)
Currently, SRP is used as the only exemption to the "we don't want caps" policy. The problem is that SRP requests for defense against lolwuts have slim-to-none chance of being approved. Even if the RP was worth it without the defensive capabilities, SRP are granted so infrequently to people that deserve them that it's just not worth the time writing the request, let alone the 500m.

This is not needed. It's SRP that needs fixing.

The GMG ID used to allow the usage of Cruisers and even Battleships. This was however removed, much due to the reason that GMG tactics and guerilla warfare do not involve capital ship classes. We choose to remain true to the spirit of GMG roleplay, and opted out the capitals.

Unless the GMG decides to design and construct a cruiser-class of their own, I see no need for adding it back to the ID.

If a bomber can't beat a Tridente or Imperator, bring moar bombers!

Remember to, that the GMG can use gunboats.

An Explorer with heavy armour and GMG turrets is a perfectly good counter to the random lolGB that comes through - most of them dont know about TS or TZ.

The ones that do? You can still overpower them.
