Alright so an IC advertisment of the Empire sparked this idea. Bombers and Fighters should be two different classes of starfighter. Like airplanes. You don’t see a Fighter jet dropping bombs, or a Stealth Bomber shooting down fighter jets.(Or maybe you do? Who knows?) Anyway, I think it would be a bit more interesting if we could have bombers and fighters. Rather then fighters being able to bombard. Which brings me to my next idea, why can’t we fire ship weapons using the launch hover commands? I mean, it’d be neat to have repeating blasters shooting people when you’re trying to make a quick getaway.
But there would be SO much abuse, which is why I propose if this goes in it should only be like..Pulses. Give them a use. Instead of like, killing someone with a laser blast. You should be able to stun someone or something like that. There’d stil be alot of abuse, but that’s where the imms come in and figure a way to make it work.
Just a random thought, this also follows through with bombing while on the surface. Which also brings up a former idea I had, about atmostpheric things. Where you’d get an atmosphere prompt or something to show how close you are in the atmosphere, instead of just needing to remember to pilot, you’d need to figure out how to actually land without smashing into the ground. It’d be slightly complicated though..

"Stun" weapons have always been overpowered or nearly useless, depending on the chance of success. You’re no better off with a 10-tick paralysis status than if you were blasted down to -10 HP. Either way, whoever shot you can easily move in for the kill.
If this is ever implemented, it should inflict normal HP damage like a blaster.
