So you cannot? I mean, your only problem is two, three bombers having their way with your cruiser? While you think you should have your way in a cruiser against everyone?
<3
its not 2 or 3 bomber taking down a cruiser that is completely fine but problem is you cant do anything to them while they sit at above 1k and deal more damage than SNAC
why do you even try to shoot them if you cant do anything
just let them kill you eh?
its like "no pain yes win"

You have a thruster. Which compared to the bs's you solo without dropping your shield should feel much like the same.
Step one: Identify vector of bomber firing Corona at you.
Step two: Turn towards bomber.
Step three: Shoot at now-fleeing bomber.
Step four: Drive bomber off.
Step five: Stop complaining on forums about something different every patch.

did you ever fly capship or tried to shoot skilled bs in a cruiser? seems like you didnt so better you stop talkin about capital fights you clearly dont know them.
oh yeah ofc its completely fine to have bombers that deal more damage than nova torpedo and snac with long range instahit weapon

get real balance developers pls
There are a few skilled bs's cap drivers these days. Let me quote Reddy & Jess:
I believe the same number or less of bombers capable of ripping a cruiser after 10+ minutes of solo'ing you when you were used to kill snubs + caps at will?
Point is, cruisers dodge novas, long slow snacs, have no effective counter. Bombers with Corona can't even shoot down a transport, let alone another bomber. Dress for your date, equip for your pew. Cruisers being kings of the battlefield should be long and gone.
Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you can ignore forum rules.
Titan, as someone who has thoroughly been involved with balance development, I'm disappointed you make such assumptions about the weapon. One Corona bomber cant even deal enough damage per second to de-shield a heavy battleship exclusively with it. You must use another weapon, probably either an asuras; which can be dodged, or a incap torp, which can be flaked. In either situation, the time it takes for the bomber to kill the ship alone, the battleship can charge cruise so many times that a bomber with double CD's would run out.
As for cruisers, yeah, we get it, it may not be fun.
That being said, I'd like to clarify where the weapon currently sits in comparison to other weapons:
Your damage per second with these weapons is limited primarily by the power core of your bomber, as most cooldowns on the weapons are far faster than a bomber can regenerate. I'm sure this system isn't perfect, but within the limitations we're given, I assure you we are making a considerable effort to get these weapons where we want them. We lack a test environment where we can slap the all the aces on the server to watch them develop strategies and find issues before we push something to the live environment, which means there is a margin of error in anything new we attempt. In short, we're aware of the issue, and have taken feedback into consideration, and ask the community for patience on the matter. The Corona has only a few attributes that allow it to do something that other weapons cannot already do. Accounting for it's instantaneous hits is what needs fixing, and that means a few imperfect iterations will probably be around.
