-M8 are bomber class vessels. Armed primarily with a large cargo bay and compatibility with heavy missiles, bombers provide a pint-sized and very lethal anti-capital platform, but their weapons can also be used effectively against smaller ships. They require the same docking capacities as the [[M6]] and [[TS]] classes, so cannot dock at Carriers. As such, they cannot carry large amounts of [[Energy Cells]] to fuel a [[jumpdrive]] so range is often limited when they are loaded with armaments.+M8 are bomber class vessels.

 Should the missile be hit by enemy weapons fire just after its launch, it will typically completely **destroy the ship it was launched from**. As such, all M8 Bomber ships must be flown with caution. Should the missile be hit by enemy weapons fire just after its launch, it will typically completely **destroy the ship it was launched from**.

 +Many M8 Bomber ships explode due to the nature of their own munitions. Care must be taken when flying them.
