Summary0001202: Make Mk. V Heavy Bombers reclaimable
DescriptionCurrently, the only Mk. V standard ships that's not reclaimable is the Mk. V Heavy Bombers and Parasites. Since the whole line of parasites aren't reclaimable, bombers are the only odd one out; Mk. I-IV are already reclaimable. Is there a reason the Mk. V isn't reclaimable, or is it just an oversight?

Bulletproof fighters are also not reclaimable (but that's because parasites shoot bullets). :P

Those would be reclaimable (kindof) by the Botnet golem though, which shoots energy bursts :) Although a normal reclamator that doesn't fire shells might be a good idea as well... Hmm.

I think the Neinzul nanoswarm also does "shell" ammo even though its an AoE.

But yeah, an AI that uses Bulletproof fighters and Parasites is ANNOYING (last I played against it). They have the ship that 'counters' parasites and I CAN'T HAVE IT.

Nanoswarms do fire shells, yes.

A tip: F1 is extremely helpful for figuring these things out :)

I haven't played in like 3 weeks, so half the data I do know is (possibly) obsolete. o..O

Regarding the Mk.V Bombers, I too think they should be reclaimable. It'd be a step towards a solution to counter the new über-FF's the AI has. ;)

Fixed, thanks:

* All mark V ships are now immune to reclamation (this was always the intent, but a few slipped through before).
