Another conceptual thought for bombers

[lw'nafh]

Bad Idea.

Like I continue to say, what we need to do is:

-Remove the SNAC
-Add additional torpedoes each with it's own use, different damage types, blast ranges, etc.
-Remove all gun hardpoints from bombers, and give each bomber 3-4 missile hardpoints plus a CD hardpoint
-Buff Fighter guns to 1000m/s speed.

I second this motion!

Jokes.

Bombers should be left as they are, I think.

Yup

Keep bombers as they are!

[Death.RunningVerminator]

No offense, but you should have stopped at, "Greetings discovery!" After that, you are no longer safe from flame.

*cough* no *cough*

Too much talk of bombers and modding them. It's quite disturbing.

Ok then, there seems to be a desire to keep them as they are.

Of course, why is there constantly issues being thrown around? Clearly something needs to be adjusted, and we should explore all possibilities to get to the point where everyone is happy. The one issue is certainly that bombers can generally kill caps before any fighter escorts can take them out, making escorts not very useful.

As an alternative, what about making supernovas far more vulnerable to explosions (mines and fighter missiles)?

Is this a joke?
You can't be serious. Right?

[Camtheman Of Freelancer4Ever]

Ah, No.
Bombers arent supposed to be absolutely invincible to caps, If you get close enough, your basically dead.

However, I agree with tenacity, so far, sadly, this community is run by bomberwhores so the lobby against
The Way will be quite large.

Balance is currently not correct.

As Ive been saying before.

2 fighters and a capital ship cruiser or higher in a fleet. Two-3 bombers come along. The cap will die before the fighters can kill the bombers.

Thats not right, people, but blindfolds are basically a requirement in this community, so ill just leave it at that.

That was exactly the sort of thought I was trying to come up with solutions for. The numbers here may make things a bit much for caps (which would probably need adjustment), but they would get torn apart by fighters. That's less armor than a Griffin in the example.

You're right, that's not correct. I would be happy to have a way for fighters to protect cruisers/battleships properly providing it doesn't remove a bombers ability to kill an unguarded cruiser/battleship. Because right now, every suggestion that's being made will make it easier for caps to kill bombers, which means people still won't get escorts, they will just fly solo and beat the crap out of bombers.

And that's not right either. So you have to ask yourself what you'd prefer, as a fighter pilot. Bombers killing Caps, or Caps killing you?

Oh noz ... O NOZ... two bombers can kill a bs slowly..

Two VHF's can kill a batltecruisser ! The only reason no one whines about it, its becouse nota lot of people are doing it.

[sarcasm]A VHF can kill slow gunboat one on one if teh gunboat captain is equiped with cerberus ands uch, so perhaps nerf them too?

Oh and LF, dies before VHF.. light fighters should be able to outmanuver VHF.. so perhaps lets nerf VHF

O noz, starflea dies to a Zoner juggernaut, nerf it too ! [/sarcasm]

Very interesting and constructive, vilkas, as usual.

I like Ktayn's idea, to be honest.There would be some balancing to be made about proportions (500% would be too much in my opinion).
But it's a really good basis if balanced correctly.

And that would please all the "GIT ESCORTZ" supporters, as caps would effectively be munched if let alone.
