Actually almost any upgrade on Bombardier design made by anyone (well, almost anyone, someone had to make it) can be an improvement. This upgrade looks fine.

Thanks

Basically you get a free pass on upgrades of teh Bombadier. The original sucked too badly.
You've increased the ammo bins, the biggest old issue. As a missile boat with no ammo is just silly.

Yeah more missiles, artemis IV, and real lasers never hurts.
And it can move quickly to keep up with a fight or stay out of close range. Also important.
Overall grade: A

Hmm? Oh you're in the big leagues now  No "A+" those are for little kids (seriously, my only grades I can get are an A, B, F, but thats cause i'm in a crazy ass doctorate program. But no A+s in undergrad either).

I can't spell to save my life! Seriously. I have a pretty little mri of my brain which shows the linquistic center completly covered in scar tissue or something similiar due to exposure to industrial hydrocarbons. All my language skills are imitation and mimicry.
I'm not touchy on language comments on the first time around. But the second.. third... etc.
And no, i am not going to open my word processor to type a message that takes two seconds to type . THATs lazy, yes.

yeah thats computer technology. I don't like it. Death to spell check and to the english language!
How about a compromise:
I'll use spell check when the English language cleans itself up and makes itself into a nice normal language? No more they're their and there. Pick one.
No more Ph and F sounds. PICK ONE.
Not that hard. Silent letters... if they are silent, then why are they there? And don't tell me because it effects the way you say the word. YOU decide how you say the word, not a silly silent letter.
Evil language.
Raven!
