How to use in your fleet
The Bomber is designed to inflict heavy damage on all sorts of fortifications, and is in turn a priority target of many other ships. Protect them, and they will serve you well - otherwise rebuilding these constantly will likely bankrupt your metal reserves. Within the triangle, bombers counter Missile Frigates. You will often find yourself sending these against AI Fortresses since few other ships can survive its powerful defenses.
You will find that often these are the ships you'll want to upgrade to MK II first to assist with forcefield destruction and general versatility. They are actually lower in raw DPS then the rest of the triangle ships but their multipliers and the commonality of Heavy armor makes them very useful.
A Hint: Ion-cannons will always target your bombers before fighters and missile frigates.
