StarCitizen:Bombers
More actions
Bombers are designed to deliver massive amounts of destruction to large or area targets. Their primary methods of delivery are ordnance called torpedoes and the namesake StarCitizen:bombs. Bombers use these ordnance to attack other vessels and ground targets respectively. Template:Data table
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 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.
