Plasma Bomb Launchers (gimbal)
The
Bomber is a deadly combination of maneuverability and
destructive firepower. The twin fusion bomb launchers
release highly volatile bottled plasma that burns through
hull plating, ignites munitions stores, and overloads
control systems.
"The
story involves the Hiigarans and details their struggle
against a raging warrior race, the Vaygr. ... Certainly, the
new enemy is completely new, distinctive and menacing."
- Dan Irish, Executive Producer
"The
two sides are different in terms of technology so you won't
even be able to research the other's type of tech. They
share basic stuff like resourcing, but that's it. Hiigarans
are more well rounded with their fleets where the Vaygr are
much more specialized in their uses." - Josh
Mosquiera, Lead Designer
"From
the Inner Rim, the Hiigarans have to stand up to this bitter
enemy that wields the power of the ancients." - Action
Trip
This
attack bomber operates in squadrons of 6 craft.
It
appears to be armed with a new version of Homeworld's plasma
bombs.
When
I first saw this bomber on the second
poster image, I was immediately reminded of the K3 Shark
from the Terran Trade Authority books. Which is a good
thing.
