So I had the idea to mount a plasma carronade to a FAC or fighter design, which is ridiculous given the carronade's size and energy consumption. Has anyone attempted to make a plasma bomber like this before, and if so how well did it work? The theory is to be able to very quickly rush in, strike with plasma, and rush out, and be able to make several passes without the worry of reloading a box launcher. Because of the carronade's range, fire control won't be a huge issue, and being made as a bomber it wouldn't need a very fast or utterly accurate fire control, so that part would be comparatively smaller than other fighters. But it would need a powerplant of some kind, and if it were kept small then the ship would probably have to run away to allow recharge time before coming in for another pass.
Thoughts?
