Default Re: Bombs on Troops???

That's evil... and possibly an unfair loophole in the components specs. The cluster bomb is a small "planetary napalm" designed solely for ground attack. On a ship or a fighter, there's a disadvantage to using it because you cannot attack other spacecraft with it. On a troop, there's nothing to attack BUT the ground. Troops cannot fire into space any more. Weapon platforms and defending troops in the cargo area of the planet, or the militia turned out by the population are all you can fight with. I think it would be appropriate to remove the "Troop" availability for that small weapon and make that only work for fighters and drones.
