...wow.

It would be easy to jump to the conclusion of OMG OP, particularly since bombers got left out from early release because of it - but I think I'd have to wait and see just how effective they turn out to be.

Personally, I think they're designed to counter scouts and give strike fighters something to go against it seems. The longer range weapons on strikes probably work well against mines/drones. Gunships sniping would work, but is entirely too slow and would give away position for little gain. At least that's what I hope for. Given what I currently fly - ouch Tongue

But that's alright, I'll be the crazy guy that engages them at point blank and some how pulls it off Wink

Sounds like there will be some interesting support options for bombers, as well - especially the hyperspace beacon ability.

Beta left a very bad taste in my mouth when it came to Bombers. Like, very very bad. I think we'll see swarms of folks jump on them at release.

Now to build a dedicated bomber hunter... Hmmmm

I already have my counter in my gunship. If its slow enough that gives me multiple snipes. :aflac:
