Limit the number of bombers available, decrease their hull value, ANYTHING.
Right now every game looks like this - 4 TIE Bombers doing suicide runs and 1 other player who isn't it on the joke.
With fully powered lasers and an unguided gatling gun I can only do 45% damage to ONE bomber as it comes at my cruiser. And there are three more coming and they only need one pass to destroy a subsystem
I don't see how it's op iv been taking them down left and right with no issues I've had power to weapons with the guided gatling cannon and they go down just fine you guys really need to think before asking for a nerf because if the tie bomber gets nerfed then the y-wing does too they are both bomber classes.
Aside from a large HP cut, I suggest that Proton Bombs have at least a one second of reload time. Currently they launch as fast as you click, so you can drop all 5 in less than a second.
And suicidal engines shouldn't damage capital ships.

@Petersaber100% this. Unfortunatly Kamikaze Bombers are still a thing, can't do much about them since hitting them constantly from max. range with overcharged lasers still won't kill them before they fly by/boost to the hull of your cap ship and then fire until they explode and deal additional dmg. Even worse when there are 3-4 of them and you're the only one actually fighting the thread (yes I know, having 4 morrons in squad is not the TIE Bombers fault, but still anoying as foxtrott uniform kilo charlie)
Yeah this is still out of control. Not much you can do when 4-5 suicide bombers simultaneously show up except hopefully kill 1-2 of them from a distance before they're in range to explode. When it happens, it makes fleet battles against players pretty boring.
I think your post got heard and it was nerfed!

the problem is speed for ships are too slow and need a buff or increase to max speed. You shouldnt need to undermind the power of heavy class to out match a bomber. Most ships should be able to out manuvuer if not outrun the heavier class ships. nerfing will only decrease your chance to be effective in a bomber run and counter strike capital attackers.
All the problems everyone is jaded by in the play dynamics is due to speed and hull balance. the capital ships need to be buffed and the max speed needs to be incresed by a third to all ships, even heavy. It should take longer to reach max speed and stop.
