WTF happened to the poll? Was it reset??
Anyways if its reset, may you PLEASE add the Myrmidon? It can carry Helios, making it a bomber. True the bomb may be bigger, but then again it is canon!! put it in on the tables.
The Myrmidon owns, hands-down. Being able to get a normal speed of 75m/s or up to 95m/s w/o afterburner is excellent. In, launch, and out. You can easily clear a destroyer within 1 minute of approach to escape. Most weapons are ranged at 2km-2km in, about 500m over, 2km out. 4.5km is cleared in exactly 60 seconds at 75 m/s. 48 seconds at 95 m/s. That doesn't include the afterburner or ultra-high maneuverability. Afterburner is 135m/s...
Hands down, Myrmidon will own any bomber.
Myrmidon:
Classification: Space Superiority FIGHTER
Nowhere in its tech discription does it say it's a bomber, if anything it's a dev error that people are so slap-happy about finding, that they didn't bother fixing it for realism. The Helios is two / thirds larger than the ship itself, why would they purposely do that?
Well the myrmidon -IS- pretty big for a fighter, and DOES have a pretty beefy looking missile rack, so i reckon its not a dev error, but purposely done.
it says 'SPACE SUPERIORITY'. Not interceptor, not heavy assault, not bomber. To acheive space superiority, you need to be able to do lots of things, and do them well. The mymidon forfills the rolls of interceptor, assault, and strike bomber, all in one hit.
But still , it isnt a bomber, and as such, isnt up for voting.
