Currently there is NO other reason to use large bombs over your average missle. Thus why Bombs should have their own weapon category. They should have the same assembly like missles with ejectors but with different parts. Their assembly sizes should go from Small bomblets to Huge bombs with larger explosions.

Agree with bombs (their drag is insane), but disagree with yet another category

Well if they did get a new category you could customize them like missles. They could have drag chutes an armoured tip to penetrates hulls and more

You can still customize simple weapons like casemate

A lot of this could be better addressed by buffing CRAM bomb chutes.
Perhaps you could also buff missile damage if the entire missile is purely payload.
Either way I don't want a whole new weapon system either.

Why not a damage or drag buff if the missile has no propulsion system and therefore identifies as bomb?
