very true about the bomber. their whole game and novelty of the class mechanics and the Power system is thrown off at this point.
I just dont see a possibility of repairing without remastering the game.
=- Bombers should have thee fastest cooldowns and deployment, which is why the class suffers from speed limits to begin with, as a trade of weapons systems for engine systems. -=
So, I agree with the class dynamics you describe. Not tying to say they should have pathetic engines, its just the engines cant give it a speed resilience without expanded it into a cruiser size. This would make it an easy target and theres better cruisers that already can do this, but cant do these runs being so big and not able to get them to targets, also in numbers would take up the limited hanger capacities.
As for a gunner or auto turret feature fot he bombers.Like a mini Ion or laser turret is a possibility for both bombers and support class. Just put your weapons into OverCharge and the turrets come on and fire what is in OverCharge. But it just needs to be done right and a standard feature with cool downs or limited power and fire rates. really it needs its own button to switch on and off, as it would use your main weapons power system charge. The ony way to do that is to free a button like TurboBoosters and make it a CounterMearsures componet with timed cool down and recharge.
I wish there can be a reboot for this game. It had alot of potential. YES, the Targeting Computer is a sadly missed opportunity, as it could just drop down or expand from behind you to prop to a side in front of you. Like a aux <Tap Button> would fire the bomb and <HoldDown> would bring the Targeting Computer up.
I wouldnt go to too far into range of weapons, because you start overstepping the striker class. An range sensors would be good though. like the Barrage and bomber class should have heightened sensors. To whether it be range or faster targeting or even a multi sensor component. Something in this line* would create a better and more useful Bomber Class.
