(Answered) Small Craft & External "Bomb" Loads
« on: 03 September 2011, 09:41:58 »
I'm curious if there are any rules for this, and if not... why? It seems to me that a Small Craft such as an assault shuttle should be just as capable of carrying external bombs or missiles as a fighter is.

So... no answers. Giving this a little "bump"

Should I re-ask in the "Ask the Lead Developers" forum?

So, topic moved... but still no answer  :-\

Not that I expect it to be that we can now carry external bomb loads ;)

Perhaps it should be, but for game balance reasons it cannot.  We could bother with a fluff reason, and may in the future, but this is primarily a game balance issue (and allowing it for small craft then just pushes the question up the road for Dropships).  Cheers.
