    • Bomber Redesign

      Bomber redesign:
      I have been investigating about the utility of the "Bomber" ship its pros and cons, why it is a ship that no one uses and I came up against the most famous ship ogame, the battlecruiser:


      Battlecruiser

      IE = 70,000x7,000

      Shields = 400x40

      Attack = 700x70

      Speed = 10,000x3,000

      Load capacity = 750

      Consumption = 250

      Price ship = 30,000 metal, 40,000 crystal, 15,000 deuterium.

      Fast fire:

      -15 EDLMS

      -2 Destroyers

      +5 spy probes

      +5 Solar satellites

      +3 Small cargo ships

      +3 Large cargo ships

      +4 Heavy hunters

      +4 Cruises

      +7 ships of battles      		Bombardier

      IE = 75,000x7,500

      Shields = 500x50

      Attack = 1000x100

      Speed = 5000x1500

      Load = 500

      Consumption = 1000

      Price of the ship = metal 50,000, 25,000 crystal, 15,000 deuterium

      Fast fires:

      -25 EDLMS

      +5 spy probes

      +5 Solar satellites

      +20 Lanzamisiles

      +20 Small laser

      +10 Large Laser

      +10 Ionic Cannons





      If you look carefully are apparently similar ships in structure, shields, attack and other characteristics. What makes the battlecruiser functional is its rapid fire, its low consumption of deuterium and its rapid fire; On the contrary to the bomber what makes an obsolete ship to him is the excessive consumption, the capacity of load and the fast fires to my opinion.
      Therefore I propose a redesign in this ship and I think it is feasible given that the cost of both ships are similar and their structural integrity as well.
      My idea of the new bomber is this:



      NEW REDESING







      IE = 75,000x7,500
      Shields = 500x50
      Attack = 900x90
      Speed = 7500x2250 (hyperspatial)
      Load = 600
      Consumption = 500

      Fast fire

      -25 EDLMS
      +5 spy probes
      +5 solar satellite
      +20 Lanzamisiles
      +20 Small laser
      +10 Large Laser
      +10 Ionic Cannon
      +2 gauss cannon
      Price ship = 45,000 metal, 30,000 crystal, 17,500 deuterium.






      I want you to give me opinions of this ship and to be able to contribute something that is feasible for said ship.

    • I agree the bomber need some change. Early game they are very useful but late game they aren't due to plasma cannons. I see them almost never in combat reports.
      Their consumption is high, capacity is low and no RF against gauss cannon.

      I think costs are balanced now compared to other ships. I would say a consumption from 1000 to 800 or RF of 2 against gauss cannon. A raise of cargo capacity from 500 to 1000 could be added to the previous two.

    • Thinking a bit longer I prefer lower consumption since Gauss cannons are less build late game. With rapid fire from bombers their position would get even more weaker.

      A consumption between 500 and 800 is negotiable for me personally. I'm curious what other people think ^^

      Edit: The ship you're talking about in your first post is the battlecruiser and not the battleship.
