Crazy-Good idea

I dunno who thought of this, but it is a spectacularly good idea that gives huge extended reach to munitions at almost no development cost. Would be great to see this in SC when bombs start to fall.

As the threat of multi-front war looms intensifies, the US Air Force is looking to double its cargo aircraft as lethal strike weapons.

Chucking bombs from the back of a Freelancer sure sounds like fun, even if a bit of an archaic approach.

Has anyone tried doing this with grenades in game?
Here's an idea, fill a ship with testies that has large doors/ramps you can open mid flight and try carpet bombing with nades.

I am sure once inertia motion is fully introduced into the ship it can be a thing but currently things inside the ship beyond the player actor stay firmly planted in the ship.

What about: turning cargo planes into gun ships? Pretty effective

I remember working on a C-130 that had some interesting mods. looking at the floor of a closed ramp, it had attachments for missile pods aiming straight down to the ground out of it.

AFSOC bois, lets just see how much firepower we can throw on these C-130's eh?
