| '''Bomber''' is space vessel role describing combat craft designed to deliver massive amounts of destruction to large or area targets. Their primary methods of delivery are ordnance called [[StarCitizen:Torpedo|torpedoes]] and the namesake [[StarCitizen:bomb]]s. Bombers use these ordnance to attack other vessels and ground targets respectively.

| ===Sizes===
| |
| Bombers come in multiple different sizes.
| |
| ====Small====
| |
| Small bombers are ideal for carrier operations against a variety of targets. Though the curtailed size of their ordnance limits their effectiveness against the truly gargantuan super-capitals, the number of ships fielded together can flexibly scale to tackle many target sizes.
| |
| ====Medium====
| |
| While less flexible than small bombers, medium bomber craft can carry more or a wider variety of ordnance and operate with greater independence.
| |
| ====Large====
| |
| Large bombers are capable of carrying the largest torpedoes and bombs, allowing them to deliver battle- or even war-winning amounts of damage.
| |
| | |
| ===Operations===
| |
| Whether ground- or carrier-based, bombers are a naval commander's primary asset in fighting against hard targets. They, however, do not always have the ability to withstand fighter attacks unaided.
| |
| ====Space====
| |
| While [[StarCitizen:capital ships]] may dominate volumes of space and space lanes, bombers are fielded to attack them and their support vessels. Whether stealthy insertion of an [[StarCitizen:Eclipse]] or a massive formation of [[StarCitizen:Retaliator|Retaliators]], their torpedoes cause havoc and destruction within enemy fleets.
| |
| ====Ground====
| |
| Dirt side targets include massed infantry, bunkers, armor columns, and airfields. A bomber may be used to soften up IADS for easier insertion of ground forces or to interdict ground transport supply lines.
