Why can't bombers dock at carriers?

[Dem0n_Dude]

I was wonderin why egosoft didn't let bombers dock at carriers? I mean if you look at shows like Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica ect. Any bombers or similar ships can dock at a capital ship. In fact that's what i thought was what made 'em so effective. You load them up with a S*** load of missiles put them in a carrier and off you go but if they have to jump around themselves arn't they a bit vulnerable. Sure you can give them escorts but still it's safer to undock them and unleash hell.
P.S. if there is already a thread answering my question can u plz link me, i looked but couldn't find anything.

Bombers are larger than fighters and might not fit.

If you are into scripts/mods then there is a script called CODEA which allows you to dock M8s at carriers. The carriers beam them on board.

what i meant was why did egosoft make them too big to dock at carriers?

[thiosk]

because egosoft doesn't care what those other shows do and they do their own thing.

The bomber is a relatively new thing, and to get a big enough cargohold to hold enough missiles, it could no longer fit into the hanger bays of a carrier. That makes a bomber more akin to a corvette.

A b52 cannot land on an aircraft carrier.

Yes it could!

My old science teacher said something when a mate asked him 'Can you eat this sir?'

He said: 'You can eat it. I wouldn't advise it, it will kill you, but it can still be eaten!'

Now that's going in my sig...
