Fighter/Bomber Model

I was wondering if anyone else felt this way, I think the fighter and the bomber models should be switched, or at least have the sizes changed. I think its a little odd that the fighters are a bit bigger than the bombers. The bombers just look like they are faster and more manueverable than the fighters, but thats just my opinion. Also, the missiles they shoot out are just huge compared to their ships.

Also, all I have to say is that if this is the type of stuff that I have to complain about when the game is just in the Beta stage, then you know you got some serious potential...keep it up, this game is getting me through Flight School.

Yea , I noticed that too.

But imo , both models look really slick and both could pass as Fighters. People are always expecting bombers to be ugly looking bulky shapes ( blame freespace ).

The thing is that we will almost never actually see the models in game.

Yea, a vast majority of whats takin place in the players control is fairly icon based, but you have no idea how good a feature it is to be able to scroll in and have a look from ground zero, so to speak.

Cant wait to see what high-res stuff comes along latter down the pike.

I do hope each side has more strike craft than the basic fighters and bombers.

/yeah i noticed the wole missile thing too. it struck me as odd but i was too dazzled by my fleet to really care. I think it would be a nice thing to change but the game as said above is really more icon based with the fighters. also what i wouldnt mind seeing would be like some sort of macro that you could select for your fighters to specialize on specific targets. I know the game already has a desent target priority system but its annoying when your bombers are getting picked off by fighters and your fighters are makeing the one squadron of enemy bombers their priority. idk just a thought.
