You know, I used to sort of think the Bakha was a stupid ship. I only ever used it in Bearbaiting and High Noon, after all, and those missions wouldn't be a shining first impression of any craft, really.
And it's not that bad. It's a decent fighter-bomber. I got some good use out of it in Procyon Insurgency -- though that was mostly because of the Phalanx Cannon. Point is, it's not some sort of horribly-designed deathtrap, like Bearbaiting might make it seem.
On the other hand...there's not a lot recommending it. It's not great at any of the roles it fills. The Sekhmet is a better bomber, and arguably a better fighter-bomber, too. And the Tauret is almost certainly a superior heavy fighter.
So, I don't hate it, but...
I guess what I'm trying to say is -- it's not like I like you or anything, Bakha.

You made an effort.
Edit: Apparantly dropbox does not a good image hosting make.

There was an attempt.

It works way better as a bomber for a hostile force, let me tell you.

I'd say it was worth it, well played.

Stupid bomber! I'm only flying you because I have to, n-not because I like you. S-so don't get the wrong idea, got it?! Baka!

Crap, I should have thought to incorporate something like that. Could've helped with the foreshadowing.

Honestly the Bakha is just idiotic. hur hur
-
I would always prefer a Bakha over a Boanerges which is nothing more like a flying tomb like the Ursa...
Even all of them are simple crap against the Sekhmet, true.
But well... i always hated Bomber missions in this game because of the AI that can not protect you anyway. So a Bomber that can be used as a Fighter is always needed IMO.

Well the Bak(h)a is kinda related to suicide and bombing (check the nickname of that thing): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yokosuka_MXY-7_Ohka

You do know that it is pronounced 'Bek', right?

Kestrellius, I respect you for this thread. It's a good thread and I've enjoyed my time reading it.
N-not that I like you or anything...

What did you just call my mother?!

According to a website of unknown reliability it means "Your mind is like an empty room" in Ancient Egypt.

Mods?! Are you just going to allow this?!

Spoon asked for mods, not admins! ;)

Use Ancient Egyptian as a placeholder for writing Vasudan language.

The irony here is that I absolutely despise tsunderes. Every dere is great, except tsun.
But yandere is best.
-
Then you should make a thread about your favourite Yandere fighter/bomber next!
-
Plot twist: The Shivans are actually just super yan for the Terrans. They keep attacking because they don't want those dirty Vasudans to steal their affections.
-
Question is, are the Shivans yandere type A or B?
What was the Lucifer going to do when it reached Earth?
-
I wonder what the Shivans think of the Bakha's performance...

Not kuudere?

Now I can't help but wonder if that Shivan was actually attacking at all. Maybe he was just finding the Terran so ugly it had to throw up, but Shivan vomit just so happens to be lethal to Terrans. ^^
