Bomber the best or not?

#1
Bombers are supost to be the best at taking on defenses, but they don't have rapid fire against Plasma Cannons. Does that make them not as effective as they would be because a defenses of Plasma Cannons would destroy a defenses of bombers? :?

Nothing has Rapid Fire against Plasma Cannons, still, they wouldn't stand long on their own if they weren't behind a wall of lesser guns.

Not to mention the fuel consumption of the Bomber rivals the Destroyer, so really, they are pointless right now.

Bombers and Battlecruisers both have more structure points and stronger shields than battleships. They are better for defence and for hitting strong fortifications, but worse on fuel, cargo space, and speed(the bomber that is, the BC is the same as the BS) to me, this means that while they are more expensive, they will last longer in a fight and dish out more or equivilent damage with a better chance of coming home. It depends on what kind of fleet you want to field.

bombers have higher attack, structure, and shields. Hence my previous statement, a slightly improved BS for a greatly improved price.

A Bomber is actually stronger than a Battlecruiser...it would be a great unit to spam if not for its slow speed and high Deuterium Consumption...I'm sure Bombers would be one of the most popular ships once Rapid Fire is implemented. It receives Rapid Fire from no one except the Death Star... :)
