requiring a fleet bomber

[garethherbert]

The title say's it all. I am currently building a fleet to battle the evil in the universe well anyone realy
and i'm after some advice....

so far i have a wing of buzzards for dogfighting
a wing of Novas for heavy fighting (meat grinding )
a wing of nemisissssss (?) for carrier defence
all sitting in a ittle bitty Raptor.

i just want a bomber wing for capital ships / station attacks.

Would eclipse do for this role or is there a better ship.
must be able to dock with my raptor.
thanks for any help.

In planned attacks or co-ordinated defense IS the centaur works well in this role. Simply load it with the missile type and set the fire prob to around 80%.

Wouldnt know about OOS engagements or in a patrol (all the hassle of having to restock)

Since dogfights and heavy fights imply that you mean in sector I'd recommend the Chimera.

To my experience the faster ships are the most powerful against M6 and above.

Thus I'd recommend:

Nova Raider or Mamba as heavy fighter
Buzzards or better Raijins as lightweight combatants
Chimera as heavy bombers (give them a couple of missiles for this as well)

I'd advise against M6 - in sector they die pretty fast.
