Pesky station no problem. Zoom in in silent mode, offload bomb, zoom out. No more station. Gimme 
Bombs. I want bombs!

Or some huge thing, call it torpedo, bomb, missile, rocket, whatever. Something that deals 50% hull damage to A conda. Or even oneshots a Conda with shields down. Imagine, Class 4 Torpedo. KABOOM!
You can't drop bombs when there's no gravity, though!
Energy bomb was like pressing the 'I win' button, don't think we really need that in ED.
Air to surface specific weapons would add a bit more diversity when atmospheric flight comes along.
Trouble is free fall or guided bombs would only be usable on underside hardpoints, unless FD comes up with some fancy launch rails for them.

A bomb is just a dumbfire missile without propellant.
Bombjack!
I played that to death. It was the 4th game I ever bought (waaaay back in the 1980s). Ahhh... they don't make em like they used to.

In newtonian space objects in motion tend to stay in motion, unless they are affected by something. In principle, if you were going 500km/s straight toward a station and vented a few tons of explosives out of your cargo, they'd hit the station (if you aimed right). Presto! Bomb!
Elite, being a space simulator, doesn't actually simulate space physics, of course. Because if it did we'd be throwing relativistic handfuls of sand at eachother and not bothering with all that other stuff.
yeah we need bombs, they need to be like the ones in enemy star fighter, the bombs have no targeting, they rely on your ships velocity to drop em, effective against capitol ships and very large ships which are slow moving.
