Abbreviation: bbr

Bombers are one of the few ships that can destroy enemy stations, and is the easiest to access as the research is located under garrison. The bomber usually gets two turret gunners and many Nans, flys to the enemy station, and destroys it. However the bomber is easily destroyed by an enemy team camping an aleph, so a good idea is to try and remain unseen for as long as possible to minimise the time the enemy have to prepare its defenses.

Basic bombers are only effective in the early game as even Mk II tech can stop most bomb runs. Upgrades for weapons are available under the supremacy, however the best use of them late game is to research teleport probes (TP) which once deployed allow many bombers to ripcord directly to the probe, bypassing many of the enemy's defences. Combined with XRM missiles this tactic can become extremely cheesy.

Bombers can also serve as make-shift gunships, since they mount turret gunners and powerful missiles. If a team has no decent fighting ships, (very common early game for GigaCorp and Technoflux) a bomber pilot will sometimes launch hoping to have more Nans and better gunners than the other bomber.

Note You can enter a turret from the transfer menu, accessible while docked with F8.

Tip: When in a turret, zoom with your mousewheel, or other throttle keys.

Factions

Bios bomber	Bios Can mount heavy cloak.
Belters bomber	Belters Can mount light boost
Dreghklar Empire bomber	Dreghklar Empire Nothing special
Ga'Taraan Federation bomber	Ga'Taraan Federation Nothing special
GigaCorp bomber	GigaCorp Nothing special
Rixian Unity bomber	Rixian Unity Instead of using missiles the pilot can mount A-B Stinger in his two weapon slots, a rapid firing energy weapon which damages stations. Uses eXtreme Range Particles (XRP), which act like rockets, instead of eXtreme Range Missiles (XRM).
Iron Coalition bomber	Iron Coalition 20% cost reduction.
Technoflux bomber	Technoflux Instead of using missiles the pilot can mount A-B cannon in his two weapon slots, a slow firing energy weapon which damages stations. As with all techno weapons, the turret gunners use energy which can interfere with the pilot firing the main gun. Uses XRP instead of XRM.
Omicron bomber	Omicron Hive 20% cost reduction. Instead of using missiles the first turret slot can mount the Hammer, an anti-base weapon. Has three turret slots total. Can drop mines.
Phoenix bomber	Phoenix Nothing special
Draconium bomber	Draconium Nothing special
