Bombers

Post by Demolisher 2 » Sun, 9. Nov 08, 17:04

Do these ships have a place in your fleet?
In my fleet, they do not. They can only be bought one at a time, which makes them impractical. I think it is silly that they can only be bought one at a time, but you need at least five for an effective strike group.

Hey, now that TC is out the Ray does seem to be one of the best M2's. Maybe I had better change my sig...

Look HERE for a great chat on the topic and how to effectively use Bombers/Missile Frigs (M8/M7M)

Thanks, I wouldn't have guessed at the content of that thread from the title. :?

completley useless ship.

too slow,too weak,too expensive.

bombers are of 2 types :

1: small lightly armoured..but FAST

2: large heavily armoured..but SLOW

the bombers in this game are small lightly armoured and slow.
someone wasnt thinking :lol:

No, because they don't have their own AI and just use the fighter one, which doesn't really work that well for them.

Why does a ship with 40 km range close in like a ship with 2 km range?

Yeah, I know >_< I only read to topic to petition a forced title change. After I read the ever so stupidly named thread did I find that it is the definitive source for Bomber/Missile Frigate/Heavy Missile info and discussion.
