What are everyone's thoughts on this? Should we modify, drop, keep? Do keep in mind, the Space Marine chapters have been voted down.

I am partial to including it because it is in the 2010 stuff but I think it should be made into a Fighter-Bomber and not function as both a fighter and a full-fledged bomber.

Dominion fleet: Captains and Reserves.
Crusade fleets: Fortress Monastery and Annihilators.

Did I miss any of the bonuses to the two different SM fleet lists?

It gives the marine fleet variety and saves it from being very one dimensional

maybe remove turret  suppression

That is a standard fighter rule. Making exceptions is weird.

After thinking I could allow a standard fighter bomber ruling.

Fighter Bomber it. Add caestus assault rams ;)

J/K but while I like the idea there's more of a groundswell to be a FB so let's call it good. Anyone that cares enough will house rule it anwyays.

So, want me to throw up a vote for changing the rules to standard, yet "resilient" fighter-bomber rules?

So were just talking about making them d3 instead of d6? That seems very reasonable.

I don't make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.

My issue with this is I fear it makes the bomber a choice no on uses

When faced with choosing between fighter bomber with d3 attacks minus turrets +1 
or fighter assault boat with Critical hits which have have two results(due tho the marine bonus) which cause damage (fire and engines) and every hit gets a result rather than the than having to roll to beat armour normally a 5

Why would you pick the bomber?

At the moment  i have think about which is the more appropriate choice

Would TA have a special rule similar to Ork FB's ie: always get one attack minimum?

They would be exactly like Ork Fighta-Bommas in that way. The only difference I see is the slower speed but resilient save.
