The Bomber is a subclass of heavy fighter class ship in Everspace 2, focused on the use of explosive ordnance to inflict damage against enemies at mid to long range. Its unique Conversion special allows it to use missiles and other explosive secondaries as its main source of firepower, while its ARC-9000 ultimate can clear out large groups of enemy fighters in a single blast. These are supported by its expertise that can regenerate health when dealing damage, and passives that improve its durability against explosive attack and improve the ability of explosive weapons.

Conversion: Secondary weapons use energy instead of ammunition.

Ultimate Ability (ULT)[ | ]

Trivia[ | ]
- The ARC-9000 is an explicit reference to the BFG-9000 from the Doom franchise, which is not only reflected in the name, but also in its actual firing mechanics including the tendrils of energy lashing out at nearby enemies before exploding.
- In the original Everspace, the ARC-9000 was a craftable secondary weapon.
