Has the rules for bombs changed or is it still one movement point lost for each 100 points of damage of bombs no matter what the size of the carrying craft?
Why argue if the glass is half full or half empty, when you know someone is going to knock it over and spill it anyways.

I was a Major *pain* before
But I got a promotion.
I am now a General *pain*
Yay for promotions!!!

That changed, like, 24 years ago with BattleSpace. Do you have even Aerotech 2nd edition?

The bomb system is that you get 10 points of bomb damage per hard point. A fighter has one hard point per 5 tons of mass. Every 4 hard points loaded, rounded up, removes one basic thrust point from the fighter (recalculate maximum thrust).

Didn't that part change with the thrust to lift off numbers?

Given time and plenty of paper, a philosopher can prove anything.

I have battletech compendium 1640 in my semi. I dont have room for a lot of stuff in here. When I am home I have more important things to worry about like getting that %#%$^* fursuit finished.

Is there rules for internal bomb loads? Or is it just external bombs in the rules?

The rules don't care about internal/external. Fluff mentions that those hard points I described are internal to aerospace fighters, but the rules don't change for internal/external. You get 1 bomb per 5 tons of fighter, and lose 1 thrust point per 4 laden hard points.
