I envision a tough BC or BS sized ship that has two forward firing bomb launchers that have a decent ROF. They are pretty much anti blob ships and would discourage the use of huge fleets. They would use bombs with smaller blast radius but would have %bonus to damage and %bonus to explosion radius.
No other weapons, no other purpose. Purely a blob pwning ship.

Just get a group of bombers together and you accomplish the same thing.

QFT. the heavy bombers would have too much EHP to be balanced.

Maybe to destroyer hulls, but not to bc/bs hulls. Dessy hulls, with limited low/med slots, to minimize the tank and so low cpu, that fitting two bomb launchers wouldn't leave much room to tank.

And that would make more sense than lets say ... 2 stealth bombers?

So you want to create a new ship class, that would be restricted to 0.0 (bombs won't work in Empire Space), to deal with blobs. We've seen GoonSwarm deploy 20 man gangs of bombers that can kill over 150 battleships, without taking any losses. What's wrong with that as an anti-blob measure? How many Heavy Bomber would it take to kill 150 battleships? Won't you just end up with blobs of Heavy Bombers creating mini-DD's everywhere?
The beauty of Bombs, as they are, are that they can only be fit to a Stealth Bomber, which is a glass cannon. Epic amounts of damage potential, but on a hull that can only survive a few hits before going pop. That's balanced. But giving 2x epic amounts of damage potential to a ship that can soak up large amounts of damage? That's a bit off ...

The OP wants the old doomsday to come back.
Only now it's on a cheap subcapital ship and not a titan. 
Protip: An 'antiblob' weapon which consists of 'Why can't I just solokill entire fleets?' is not balanced. In fact, any weapon designed to make one player always win against many, will be overpowered.
The best 'counterblob' is to simply avoid the blob. If you introduce a 'one ship can kill many' ship, you won't counter the blob. You'll just have one overpowered ship and everyone will fly it. |

Seems a little busted. I would like to see T2 bombs though. No damage increase, just higher HP so more bombers can engage at the same time.

so the 7-8 bomber runs decimating 100-200 ships in one go arent enough?

Considering the amount of damage the infernal bombers can do, making heavier version that launches even more bombs can only break game..
If, however, we were to implement a point defence system of some sort at the same time to act as a "natural" counter to the inevitable bomb-madness that would ensue.
Model it after ECCM by making it utterly useless except against bombs.
