Hello everyone !
I heard many times that CCP devs were not satisfied by the fact that frigates are only a minor part of used ships in high-scale fights.
My idea is VERY simple : Making Stealth-bombers a lot more powerful. At a point that it would make anti-frig frigates useful, making players use them in every scale of fights.
And then, it wouldn't be only BS + CAP vs BS + CAP.
What do you think about it ? :) |

You mean powerful enough to 10-20 of them can wipe out a fleet of 150+ battleships?

Stealth bombers are plenty powerful enough (although bombs COULD do more damage). The problem is that they are a very tactical asset, and most of their pilots have no clue what they are doing. A lone stealth bomber CAN take down a BS solo, but it's deliberately hard. After all, who wants an easy game? |

Okay, I guess I'll have to make good on my promise to post this kind of stuff whenever there is a particularly horrific idea. Here you go.

What do you think about it ? :) It should be Super Cap Titan vs Titan or Super Cap Super Carrier vs Super Carrier (or mixed)
Either bring a Cap ship to the fight or go home a whiner in a pod after you lost your battleship or T3 cruiser.
Un-nerf Titan and Super Carriers to the gods they used to be, Adapt to bring your own cap ship to counter a cap ship or Die.
Opps, sorry. Whiney risk adversion "I don't want to pilot a cap ship, because they are to expensive to lose so I am just going to bring a sub cap ship to the fight" got them nerfed. Move along, nothing to see here. |

It doesn't matter what you or other supercap pilots think, CCP's intention is that large battles are centered around battleship/carrier/dreadnought hulls, with smaller and larger ships supporting. See any of the trailers, or any of the fights they (and the rest of the player base) like to brag about. Titans and supercaps are great, sure, but not in exclusivity of other ships.
So far as this idea... bombers are already as powerful as they need to be. If OP can't do more damage with them or use them in fleet fights, he is using them wrong.

There fairly powerfull already and with TiDi in the game now its just a mater of the FC's moving away from my blob is bigger then your blob to some actual tactics that involve using more then just using the largest ships in the game.
A well organized bomber squadron could cause a whole lot of trouble in a fight. Emp bombs on a full abaddon fleet for example could shut down there dps long enough for the opposing side to just overwhelm them.
The tools are there is not CCP's responsiblity in the sandbox to always just make changes to direct player behavior. |

if your bomber wing is good enough to neut the 'baddons with void bombs, they're good enough to just demolish the entire fleet with regular ones. |
