Hiigaran Attack Bomber (Homeworld)(Vanilla)

Description
The Bomber is the basic anti-Capital Ship fighter used by the Hiigarans.
One of the most potent uses for bombers is in the removal of subsystems from enemy ships. Once their bombs have been upgraded a few flights of bombers can easily destroy/disable an enemy subsystem in a single pass. They can be easily classified as Hiigaran by their gray-white-orange colouration.

This version of the Hiigaran Attack Bomber Features a fine armorment of sequenced reloadable rocket launchers for devastating attack runs, four gatlingting guns for presice anti fighter dogfighting, and two gatling turrets for self defence to help cover for a possible lack of escort fighters.

Don't use this ship with thruster damage turned on. Sections of the hull and some of the components were destroyed on my test flights. It needs to be reworked so it doesn't tear itself apart.

@Lander1 That idea has been done before. However many very well designed slugs will deactivate their mass block shortly after leaving the barrel rendering a defense field useless and in many cases a gun's field overpowers the defense shield because there is simply no time to slow down a slug. a shield will at best soften the impact but is not inherently worth building. I personally found 20 sphereical generators to be lacking in direct protection though sometimes it did lead to slight redirection and bouncing (or missing) of a slug. That was maybe 1-5 shots though and may be credited to simply a bad angle on the gunner's part.

I have an Idea for you, A defense field frigate using grav gens to create a defense field against grav projectiles. http://homeworld.wikia.com/wiki/Defense_Field_Frigate

Ouch That'll be tough. Do you know how to make player controlled cannons?

@sdf1666 I am planing on doing a destoryer but I need to do some personal R&D for player controlled cannons for them. After the current projects that I have. :hiigarans:

Ya making the Hiigaran battlecruiser or something along those lines would be like trying to make a 1:1 scale Imperial II Star Destroyer
