Wow nice ship, and the Techroom ANi is super cool too.

Just a wee point on logistics from me. Over all Bombers are far more effective than small to medium capital ships, right? At least those present in FS2. In order for it too make sence to have a mix of Capital Mounted weponry and Bomber mounted weponry bombs must be pretty expencive to produce. If they were cheap itd make sence to have 30 bombers and no cap, and there fore not risk 30,000 (dunno if thats right) lives on board say an orion.

That would explain why bombs are only unlocked to the player in FS as he gains exp and proves he wont waste them, or damage friendly vessels.

If you agree with that conclusion that would make a bomber with a huge payload having many eggs in one basket. If it goes down with full payload thats a lot of wasted resources and production!
And if this thing is fat and slow its quiet the juicy target for interceptors (Ever dodge a hail of Tempests in Ursa Heavy Bomber?)

Yeah but turrets dont stop Tempest Volleys or Trebuchets. And head on countermeasuers aint gonna work. I'll be interested to see how you intend to balance this one.

Either itd have to only be deployed when the situation is ideal, or with heavy fighter support. Shivan Dragons for example would make mushy paste out of it otherwise.

On the other hand though unmolested, four of them could take out the beams on a sathaneses arms pretty snappy I bet. Also make a mess out of its subs...
