    I'm making a variant of the craft that appeared in Star Frontiersman #16... not the artwork, however.

    		With the UPF's postscription against orbital bombardment a craft that could enter atmosphere and bomb would have a value. It will have to weather the planetary defenses if present but the heavy hand of space fleet will not be able to come down on the offending party.
    I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

    Yes.

    As I would imagine, there probably aren't any strategic bombers in the Frontier. Various other craft would be modified to fill that roll for specific missions.

    This fan-created craft from Star Frontiersman magazine just seemed like one that could be used... at least for planets that don't have planetary defenses... or it is the colonial government/UPF using one against a pirate/rebel/terrorist hideout.
