This may end up being many pages, or maybe just this post. We'll find out.
Suggested Bomber: Theme, low evasion, heavy payload.
Hull: 410 Armor: 14% Shields: 14% Speed: 10 Agility: 10 Fuel Cost: 4 Pilot: 7 Electronics: 15 Gunnery: 0 Evasion: 14% Level 1 Deep Crash Bomb: 58% Hit chance, strikes with 40% Critical and 42% Crippling chance causing 350-480 damage and 50 radiation damage
Compare to Seafang Heavy:
400 Hull (10 hull better) Armor: 12% (2% better) Shielding: 18% (4% worse) Speed: 20 (10 worse!) Agility: 12 (2 worse) Fuel Cost: 3 (1 worse) Pilot: 10 (3 worse!) Electronics: 14 (1 better) Gunnery: 0 (=) 66% hit chance (8% worse) 24% critical (16% better!) 42% cripple (=) 310 - 400 damage (40 to 80 better!) 54 radiation damage (4 worse)
The proposed bomber has defensive stats closer to a level 1 or 2 bomber. Accuracy is also a notably worse but can be partially compensated by a rank 32 wing bomber (only rank 32 gets all 15 matched electronics without a skill bonus!) The real only upshot is really good critical chance, and raw damage. If this thing hits, it packs a world of hurt. But if isn't staffed by the best, it's liable to be shot down and miss anyway.

I have a quick suggestion for a new small craft related component. Perhaps an engine component that could be specifically designed for carriers. Or maybe an engine that is designed for defense against carriers and small craft.
Let me know what you think.
