Sounds like a winner. Bombs might be a bit too powerful but game
balance is up to the GM anyway. Don't waste your money on anything
less than 2000 tons unless you do not intend to have them attach to
jumpships.

A dropship fit with nothing but weapons pauload would be a frightening
sight. Worse...if it had a payload full of bombs it could really
carpet bomb an area into the stone age. Anyone made one yet?
