Maneuverability Rating: 5

Speed Rating: 6

Hyperdrive Class: 1 Back up: 8

Strengths:

Heavy payload

Wide assortment of available weapons

Passive stealth from low ship profile

Weaknesses:

Weaker in combat against intercepting starfighters, requiring interceptor support

Fewer shield layers

Slower than a fighter

Description: After the success of Project Switchblade, the evolution of the dated Hetrinar bomber and Miy'til assault bomber models needed to be realised. Paragon's Munitions department took the base design of the Type M808 Terminus starfighter and modified it to into a strike bomber model. Much of the design mirrors its interceptor counterpart, save for a few minor differences

First, the quad intakes were expanded and reshaped to allow room for various ordinance types and to help provide more power to the ship in an atmosphere while the PDIEs (pulse-detonation ion engines) were given more of a pulse aerospike design to ensure the denser material the ship is constructed from could be moved at an appreciable speed. Additional power consumption resulted in weaker shield layering as well.

Second, the air-to-air capabilities were reduced to guns, focusing ballistic ordinance on bombing and strike raid capability. As a result, tactics would require a fighter escort to ensure survivability and completion of a bombing run in a hypothetical fleet battle.

Finally, the payload bays were expanded to accommodate a variety of ordinance. Electro-proton bombs were minaturised with a yield strong enough to penetrate shielding and disrupt electronics akin to a concentrated ion barrage. Standard Proton bombs, of course, were considered and an advancement was put forth to contain miniaturised versions of them in a gliding dispenser for carpet-bombing tactics as an alternative. Finally, air-to-ground concussion missiles were considered for precision strike raids.

"Rlodnir" means "Furnace" in Hapan, which in an abstract way describes this machine fairly well.

Development Thread: If needed

Intent: Next generation of strike bombers, to succeed the Hetrinar Assault bomber

Who Can Use This: Hapan Royal Navy

Production: Minor

Armament: possible payloads include electro-proton bombs, Proton Bombs, or air-to-ground Concussion missiles (10). Standard weapons are ion cannons (4) and dual link-fire laser cannon (1)

So a bomber is allowed 6 weapons normally. I would suggest making the production Limited and limit it to the Hapes Royal Navy only. This will give you a bit more room for the weapons load and SLAM.
As for weapons it seems like this has
1 warhead bay
1 Missile Launcher
4 ion cannons
1 dual laser cannon.

Is the warhead bay also the bay which houses missiles in place of bombs. or are they 2 separate weapon systems?

link the Pulse Detonation Engine. You can find the page here

They are intended to be available options. The ship isn't that big. In fact, it is built after the Terminus, so there's only so much room one can make. SO no, this bomber doesn't carry like 50 warheads. It carries 10 and can be assorted or concentrated on specific ordinance types.Types of ordinance carried on a given mission should be chosen wisely.

Ok then looks good as is.
