Looks like a mix of Peregrine with Su-25 Frogfoot :).

What is the source or inspiration of this bomber? Coz the front of the ships feels strangely familiar.

EA Anti-Subsystem Bomber?
Wasn't that the Aetna?

Might have been, actually. It suggests that it doesn't carry anything large but what it can carry it does so in vast amounts.

It looks entirely too realistic around the cockpit and nose. :P

This is a fantasy spaceship, people!

Perhaps it's the EA heavy assault fighter. They really need one, as the Claymore Mk.2... isn't the best option.
Them gunpoints don't shoot straight!

They do shoot straight, which is what the Claymore Mk. 2's problem is with their spacing. :P

Not anymore.
The current version doesn't have guns on the wingtips anymore.

Yes, the guns are now mounted around the nose, with missile launchers moved to wingtips. The reverse of the original design, much more logical (this does make DF missiles next to useless on that ship though).

Make dumbfires not compatible with it, then?

They will be compatible with it, but on these mounts they're barely useful against anything smaller than a Jotun.
On the other hand, given the average size of ships in Inferno, this may not be that much of a drawback.  :)

Naw, that's only necessary if you have like, off-axis missile banks with gun convergence (in which case you get dumbfires going out at funny angles and being generally useless)

The Claymores will most likely be resized before the project is released.

The new craft depicted on the previous page is not a heavy assault fighter; it's an EA bomber of epic proportions.

The Gagana's not big enough?
Well knowing what it is now those missile pods look pathetically small for the size of the ship.

Bigger than the Holler? Or it strikes a balance between the Holler (anti Superjuggernaut bomber) and the Gagana (ant Superdestroyer/Destroyer bomber) as the anti Juggernaut bomber?

I remember seeing it in Moddb as an EA superbomber, with the other superbombers (Jotun, Notus, the Vasudan one I forgot the name and Vindy)
