If only the rules weren't such an unbalanced mess...
just reposting from last thread, any way to lessen those crashes?, I'm now crashing every multiplayer match mid battle and it makes me sad.
Who's hype for Retributions being faster than cruisers?
update just drop for anyone else?
>>46244023
The 2010 errata helps quite a bit. What balance problems were you having? Haven't experienced many, but my group is playing a campaign and trying not to leverage any particular part of a list though.
>>46244180

Holy shit devs what the fuck.
>>46244371
About the same odds as the Tau getting Warp drives powerful enough to travel to the Gothic Sector.
>Orks playable
'Ere we fucking go lads
>>46244371
None. I say, an Admech fleet or something more fancy. Until we get a Daemocles Gulf campaign, weren't going to get Tau.
>>46244500
>Admech fleet
>>46244371
Most likely Necrons, considering that the whole Gothic War was plot by them.
>Orks hit beta
>At work for 6 more hours
WHY
>>46244371
Gothic war fluff option is just dark eldar but no one gives a fuck about them, so its tau or necrons. Necrons would make it three alliance, three horde factions but Tau is licence to print money so probably that.
>>46244421
Makes daemonic possession / commissars actually worth leveling up
>>46244500
AdMech already has some representation in the imperial fleet so I can't see that happening soon.
>>46244371
>>46244438
The chances are pretty high actually, methinks.
It's one of the factions left that is visually distinct with a mechanically different playstyle while not being hilariously dumb OP like the Necrons.
They also have a large selection of different ship classes for the devs to work with which helps out a lot.
Not to mention they've been a pretty popular faction in recent years.
So it's either that or Tyranids which would be cool too.
>Double tapping the key assigned to a group of ships focus the camera on the first ship of this group.
Holy shit finally. I didn't realize how much I liked that feature in games like Sins until I didn't have it here.
>>46244557
Wait.
Aren't the Necrons too OP for a playable faction?
>>46244371
Only if I can choose to play as the Tau or the Imperium in the campaign!
>>46244569
So do space marines though
>>46244626
They're only OP if the Dev's don't bother to make an effort and balance them. That said, they have so many special rules regarding bracing, armor saves, weapons, etc. that it would be a difficult task.
Still want to see it, mind you.
>mfw 4 star pulse generators going off one after another on the tabletop
Posting fleet.
Also, has anyone noticed the camera randomly jumping about in skirmish?
>>46244647
Well, having three fleets with crossovers between their rosters would be more tedious than two.
>>46244730
Buy another graphics card m8
>>46244557
Dark eldar were my faction on the normal 40k tabletop so I would absolutely love to see them added, though really only if they went all out and came up with new ships and models for them since they were so half assed and ugly as shit.
Big red button has to be the most based ability in the whole game
>>46244730
Happened with me a few times
Ugh I fucking hope it isn't the Tau
Totally ruins the aesthetic of the whole game/universe for me
>>46244758
I set it down to low as apparently that can help with the fatal error crashes.
The Armada patch is out.
>>46244803
Eldar with their slender shiny ships with SAILS IN SPACE for some reason, don't break the aesthetic?
>>46244557
admech and inquisition are both options
CWE/DE are also relatively simple, and both played a part in the war
Necrons would be my guess, if only because they're relevant and different. They fill in the same "elite, tough" niche as the marines.
>>46244818
Were you having crashes before or you chose to prevent it from happening?
Tabletop related, these arrive on Saturday. Excited. Can finally do a scale comparison and tidy up the rules, since the dimension descriptions on shapeways don't make any god damned sense.
>>46244818
That doesn't help.
>>46244882
Before and still am. Though it seemed to lessen. I've got an AMD card which seems to suffer from crash of death quite a lot.
>>46244903
BACK TO EPIC SETTINGS WE GO
>>46244895
Speaking of breaking the aesthetic...
>>46244841
Eldar stuff is still overwrought and baroque. Sails in space works fine for a game based on the premise of age-of-sail-in-space.
Tau a e s t h e t i c doesn't bother me much though. Their first gen ships were ugly and functional, their second gen stuff looks like their tanks in space. Makes sense. Thematically sometimes people get bootblasted about them being shinny and hopeful, but that's just when people take them at face value. They're in contrast to the bloated and corrupt imperium because they haven't been around long enough, and its already happening to them via etherials/farsight. Sometimes people just want to be mad. Probably doesn't help that their 40k armies tend to be op.
>>46244970
I don't like the Devilfishes in Space look of the second generation Tau. Not that the first one was better. Personally, I'd like a mix between the two styles.
>>46244841
It's more the Tau in general.
Whole concept is just a big irritation to me, and I couldn't really explain why.
>>46244996
Simple. In any other setting, they would be the newcomer brave humans raising stars in the galaxy and the Imperium would be the decadent Alien Empire.

I'm going to second this.
If pressed I'd say it isn't tau but tau players. They're like Eldar players but even more smug.
what do squigs in cage do fellow gits
Where do we go to post bugs in the Beta?
>>46244582
Craftworld Eldar or Admech would be my bet. Easier to implement than Nids or Crons, and would fit the Gothic War scenario better (not that that really matters since they'd be multiplayer only). CWE are mechanically similar to the Corsair fleets (they use the same weapons, holofields and solar sails, and the main difference is just that their ships are a little slower but more durable) so implementing them should be easy, aside from them needing to come up with a new battleship (the BFG CWE fleet consisted of an escort, a light cruiser and a cruiser, all of which had multiple weapon options, as well as the unique ship representing Prince Yriel's flagship, which could easily be used as a base for their battlecruiser).
Same reasons apply to Admech, who'se ships are pretty much like IN ships with fancy arecheotech toys.
>>46245170
They're the Ork equivalent to the Commissar.
ORKS ORKS ORKS ORKS ORKS ORKS ORKS
>>46244421
Mutiny instead of officer insubordination I guess?
Or is that execute on any ship, not just the flagship?
>NOISE ORKS
>Cant Silent Running.
>NOISE
>IN SPACE!
>>46245400
they don't bother to hide their signatures except for those kunning gits.
>>46245400
>thinks silent running is literal sounds
Its shit like detectable coms, energy radiation signatures, weapons powering up, all the things orks are known for being not so good at concealing.
>>46245400
They're constantly shittalking each other over open channel, throwing stuff overboard, shooting at stuff for laughs etc.
>>46245360
Any ship.
>>46245081
You forgot all those undetectable on sensors coldsteels flying about.
>>46245049
>>46245097
It might just be the disparity between fluff and the tabletop that irks me, plus the player-base
Why are Tau so strong on the TT and considered such a big presence in the meta whilst the core factions who run the universe mostly suck?
Why are the iconic fluff units like Space Marines or Dreadnoughts dogshit, whilst the Tau have cheese-lists galore and dominate everything?
>>46245269
Eldar are one of the starting 4 ya dumb grot.
>>46245631
corsairs=/=craftworld eldar
>>46245594
I don't think Tau have really dominated anything after 7th edition dropped and they took away the two things that really made them OP (Eldar allies throwing rerolls on everything and commander joining a Riptide to give it tank hunter, ignores cover and rerolls). They're still strong, on par with SM and Necrons, but nowhere near the level of bullshit Eldar have. Although their "really good shooting but shit at melee" design tends to elad to very binary games, especially when playing against a melee-heavy army. Either they shoot the enemy to death before they get to melee range, or get completely wiped out because the enemy manged to get to combat with them.
Dreads are dogshit because walker rules suck and GW should either completely rewrite them or just give up an make all walkers MCs (not like there's any clear distinction over what's a walker and what's an MC anyway. Clunky Admech robots are MCs, while the Chaos biomechanical maulderfields are walkers).
>>46245666
They're literally the same. Corsairs are just like Inquisitors pretending to be Chaos cultists; it's a cover for deniability.
>>46245720
Have you seen a riptide wing murderlist? They're still nuts.
Ahahahaha. The Looted Novacannon you get form the blood Axes favour? It has a 25% chance to blow itself up on each shot.
>>46245400
I suppose I should say something along the lines of
>lrn to Naval Terminology
but between the wackiness of 40k and the typical misunderstandings about space I'm just glad you realize that sound doesn't travel through space.
>>46244626
If the devs essentially just double their cost and change their brace for impact to something more reasonable they could be pretty doable in this game
>>46245791
A true ork player wouldn't have it any other way.
>>46245771
CWE have their own ship designs, though. The standard Eldar fleet in BFG (and the one included in Armada) is the Corsair one, while picture has the Craftworld ships.
Corsairs often act as privateers for CWE, though, and a lot of Corsair attacks are directly orchestrated by the CWE who usually only deploy their own ships in defence of the craftworld.
Could the extra faction be specifically chaos marines?
I mean, Terminus Est and so on is in the game; maybe a specific corrupted battlebarges and strike cruisers and whatnot fleet?
>>46245771
In bfg tabletop they're not different mechanically. More customization, but that's about it.
>thinks inquisitors pretending to be cultists don't end up being cultists
nice try radical
>>46245936
Possible but I doubt it because there wasn't a list for them in tabletop.
>>46244569
The bonuses you get for favor of admech do not really represent how admech play or make your ship into an admech ship.
Even space marine ships have more difference to them than just boarding action bonuses
>first fight as orks
>enemy is an ork with two cruisers
>the minute I see him he blasts me with two novas
>boths my lights cruisers on 70% health left
>thats okay, Ima torpedo and ram him
>ramming takes 40% of my health and barely scrapes him
Yeah, what the fuck were they thinking? Not like its hard enough to even do a ramming with no side thruster boost, but I actually take a shitloads of damage for ramming too. What the fuck.
>>46244872
Inquisition is three unique ships that you add to any imperial fleet, one of those ships is Ordo malleus only, the other is a glorified escort objective.
I'm not complaining, I play inquisition IRL.
Inquisitorial cruisers are fucking baller though. 10/10 battlecruisers
>>46245962
I thought there was a specific list for CSM in tabletop, like a subset of normal traitor lists. Had some catches, and you got free SM crews on all ships.
>>46246023
Yeah but like, marines are technically only two ships and some escorts as well.
>>46246043
Yeah but they still only get regular chaos ships. So it would be a reskinned fleet at best and people would complain about that. They would be pretty shitty choice.
>>46245992
Use brace for impact, ya git.
>>46244421
Suddenly Imperial Navy favour is that much better.
>>46245964
I didn't say it wont happen, but I'd say the Tau, Necrons, and D.Eldar will appear before them.
Whats the kustomization points on ork ship select screen?
>>46244421
Mark of Slaanesh hype.
>>46246185
So you can add whatever weapon you want.
>>46246185
Use it to select different weapons. Don't take carrier btw, it removes all gunz.
>>46246201
where?
>>46246060
Battle barges and strike cruisers can swap a bunch of shit, plus marines have their own "unique" escorts
Inquisition literally has the inquisitorial cruiser, the grey knight strike cruiser and the blackship. If you take majority GK strike cruisers you can take a battle barge as well.
They don't make a great standalone fleet but they're fantastic additions to a normal imperial or space marine fleet. They're awesome bonus ships for campaigns and black ships are more fun to defend than cargo transports
>>46246240
Oh I know, I just mean to say that the other expansion army probably won't be an entirely new faction.
>admiral ship warps out on assassination mission
>lost in the warp
Wat
>>46246285
Well maybe they'll get ambitious.
But fuck Id love being able to take an inquisitorial cruiser. It's an Overlord battlecruiser that's 6+/75 armor all around and trades it's dorsal lances for launch bays (with thunder Hawks) and prow torpedoes for mother fucking bombardment cannons.
It's also just plain 5cm faster. It's only weakness is that you literally can only take 1.
Fucking hell, still crashing all the fucking time when in a match.

>>46246216
Right as you select the ship initially. You can switch the yellow-colored default weapons for the green-colored options at the cost of 1 KP each. So a light Ork crusier can trade in the torpedoes for a hwavy prow gun or trade in its broadside gunz for heavy kannonz or trade in the broadside gunz for launch bays. This has to be done when you initially select the ship or when you replace it. Repalcement also menas you lose your skills and upgrades though. (But not faovur or captain levels.)
>>46246696
Everyone is playing orks and the matchmaking is matching you with low level gits when everyone already has their other admirals at lvlv8
>>46246210
Well, on the light krooza it does. The full-size krooza has two broadside slots, a prow weapon and a prow torpedo slot and you can replace any two with kustom options.
>>46246659
Those are Homeworld shps. A Somtaaw Destroyer and a couple normal Kushan Assault Frigates.
>>46246726
I don't see the point of any of the broadside upgrades, I just got the megakannon and the zappa.
>>46246714
began the multi as IN, in a 300 pt battle as rank 2,with a domi, a dauntless and a cobra. got crumped by an ork with 6 Savage and a LC. good fight, managed to escape both of my line ships.
I'll bring more escorts next time.
>>46246781
Broadside megakannonz can be fun for a brawler built and you could just load up double launch bays and either Bad Moonz or Blood Axes for a dedicated carrier.
>>46246659
Top is a Somtaaw Destroyer, bottom are Kushan assault frigates, both from the Homeworld universe.
So how are the Ork escorts? The Brute, specifically?
Still stuck at work and all this Ork talk is making me antsy.
>>46246889
They are propa orky
>>46246889
They're all the speed of imperial cruisers except the Brute, that's the speed of a Dauntless. They're cheap as hell (31 points for Brute/Onslaught, 32 for Savage and 35 for the Ravager) and overall pretty decent. The Brute has only 100 hull, but does +300% ramming damage and has a trait that makes it completely impossible for insubordination to happen because a Brute got blown up.
>>46246653
I'm tempted to put together a Big Red Button peripheral for my PC. It can't be that hard, right?
Ok, heres a quick (and shit) drybrush on these escorts. Im very pleasd with details after paint thickness is added. Ive just a few detailsbto tweak, and will add a reciever for the standard flying base and stands.
Fyi i will be building a library for release to public for people to print themselves or send to shapeways without the fucking massive premium these other people charge.
I think ill round out these guys with the infidel next.
Also fyi im using a form1 printer at 25 microns (thats 0.025mm for you non heriteks), and im buildingthe files to be optimized for this style printer.
>>46246832
Why would you do anything but ramming?
Ive left the 'sprues' on because i dont have any flying bases yet
Ahahaha, Bad Moonz are ridiculous on Data Recovery. You can nab the data from 25k units away through shields with the Shock Attack Mega-Kannon.
These escorts are about 30-40 cents per at material cost
>>46247055
Just because it's a carrier doesn't mean it can't ram and with the shit turret ratings on Ork ships, having fighters becomes pretty damn useful in larger games. Also assault boat spam plus boarding torpedo spam plus a looted novacannon or shokk attack gun is damn orky, too.
>>46247092
>30-40 cents
God damn. You could sell them at $5 a trio and make an absolute killing.
>>46244301
ITZ TIME BOYZ
>>46247092
>>46247159
I may even play chaos if they are that cheap
>>46247055
ramming do what, 50 hull damage? its pointless from the videos I have seen.
>>46247159
Yes im aware of that. I may eventually offer that as a service, but the primary goal of this project is to make a free proxy library, a 3D analogue to the already available 2D printable library.
So yes, in the same way someone without a 2D printer might pay someone with a 2D printer for the prints plus a premium for the effort, I may act as the guy with the printer for those without access.
But freeware is intentionally before shipwright in my figtastic name
>>46247218
I took out a third of a mars battlecruiser's health with one ram from a terror cruiser. And that's without the +50% damage bonus the gork favour gives.
>>46244730
the phalus of justice
exquisite.
>>46247243
Well I stand corrected then. They look damn good, so I think you did a great job.
I don't think anyone around here has access to 3D printers, but now I'm curious.
>>46247177
lol
>boarding torpedoes dont have different button image
>escorts have boarding torpedoes on different panel than others ships
FOR WHAT PURPOSE?!
>>46245400
This isn't our universe though, the warp might provide a medium for sounds to go across.
>>46247310
If you are at a school, you may have access to a tech lab with an appropriote printer. I happen to manage such a lab. I started this project for 3 reasons:
Be a contributing member
Make myself virtually free fleets
Build a portfolio of tgis type of work that i could bring to a game design firm and get a sweeter job
You are absolutely right though, someone with a printer could make a killing, and i encourage them to. But i also encourage the next guy to undercut them, and the guy after that, until im encouraging the last guy to just print them themselves or whatever. open and free is the way to be. The goal with this, and with any other """"""""""intellectual property""""""""" type thing is to make the idea accessable and modifyable, but the service of implementing the idea will tend to be subject to supply and demand
Ive been on /g/ too long
>>46247373
Did you expect Orks to have clearly labelled controls?
>>46244895
I'm now crying. How many of the sweet HW designs will exist in real life for your project?
>>46247481
There's a full fleet for Kushan, Taiidan and Somtaaw over at shapeways.com/shops/chrisships . I've got the rules for the Taiidan nearly done as well, and should have them finished by next monday.

I hate to discuss the vidya in here rather than /v/ but has anyone with the beta seen if there's a full campaign for each race in single player?
>>46248310
Nope, just the Imperials. Seems like a fairly length campaign, though.
>>46248310
No, only the Imperium gets a campaign
>>46247288
sounds like its broken tbqh
>>46248310
Imperium campaign only. It's also a defensive one like Attila. You are not the only one admiral in town, you just control your fleet.
>>46248334
I'm looking forward to it
>>46248334
Cool. I was wondering because of the blurb about upgrading at Port Maw.
Are the missions fairly varied and how's the story stuff both in and between levels? One of the things I dislike about a lot of these games is how disconnected and context-lacking the missions seem. I miss games like Red Alert 2 with interrupts from characters, FMVs between missions and so on.
>>46248346
It's not broken, it's orky!
can somone post some pics of the level 8 orc ships?
How do you use custom points for ork kruisers?
>>46248575
You use them when you purchase the ship.
>>46248637
And if I don't use them when I purchase the ship I lose them? Shit.
>>46248692
you can just rebuy it, though you lose any favors or upgrades you already put on it, you keep the level and crew.
>>46248692
I got caught out too.Thankfully it was in solo :^)
where the hell do you find Zeus miniatures these days? I found the battlegroup Helios stuff (which looks sweet) but I can't find the Zeus shipyards stuff
The blood axes nova kannon is pretty bad.
It has a 25% chance of exploding when you fire it, which takes out every prow weapon on the ship.
>>46248206
Ork version of station defense should allow you to ram the station at enemy ships.
>>46249010
So the answer is to increase the number of Broadside weapons!
>>46249102
the ork stations are too adorable for that.
hmm so is the orc battlecruiser really underwhelming?, its exactly the terror(cruiser) but with 1x additional prow mount/same amount of good orc points to spend.
>>46249107
feels like a waste really. blood axes only gives you a shitty version of the nova cannon and the ability to use running silent, which isn't that great for orcs.
>>46247760
Try using Brace For Impact, you might actually survive the first hit and be able to turn around and do it again.
>>46249178
It's underwhelming, but it only costs a few more points than a cruiser, so is still pretty good.
RTeally nitpicky, but does anyone find it a bit strange the Kill Kroozer is called the Terror? Terror Ship implies ordnance to me, but Kill Kroozer can really imply anything.
>>46247836
>it has a 25% chance to blow itself up on use
>one diddly escort dies
>all of my light kroozers run away without even having taken damage
EFFIN PANSIES
>>46249010
So, wait. They didnt include the Ded Killy Device, but they give you looted nova cannons?
Come on frenchies!
>>46249354
Its a shame you can't get skills on escorts. Can you imagine brutes with hull upgrades and the refresh fuel skill.
>>46249380
It also takes out all the other prow weapons when it explodes.
>>46249402
The Ded Killy Device would actually make the Hammer distinct from the Kroozer too.
>>46248776
Actually, you keep the favours and captain levels, only the upgrades and skills are lost.
Has anyone tried the Mega Zzap Kannons yet?
5% chance for the weapon to break each time it fires seems a pretty bad trade for a long range, but otherwise completely standard, lance battery.
>>46249402
The what now?

the DKD. Its one of the prow weapons on the 'Ammer class, its built from salvaged nova cannons and can fire as either a Bombardment cannon or as a torpedo launcher
>>46249505
I like it, provides good shield stripping while you are closing in.
>>46249381
thought i read an ork skill for escorts meant they didnt matter to morale
>>46249669
only the ramming one has that.
>>46249381
Yeah I'm seeing a whole shit load of running away going on, at full health.
Very annoying considering you can't kill da boss of the ship
>>46249722
git squigs matey
>>46249722
I won a convoy mission because of this. I had lost everything but the transports. 1 if his terrors was badley beat up so he jumped it. This made the other one, which was nearly full health , warp out as well saving my lone transports. Funny as hell for both of us ingame
Anyone got the Tractor beam working, cant seem to get to do things
Is there any way to stop the engine sounds when you're in the menu building your ships? That shit is way too loud.
>>46249722
>>46249809
They should make the rate of ships disengaging increase based on how many ships have died and how much the remaining ones have health.
>>46249575
It's even included as trandard armement for the Hammer in Rogue Trader, although called "Gargoz's Ded Kunnin Devise", Gargotz being the mek who purpotedly invented it for a warboss called Urzok Armripper, who wanted a weapon that could fire torpedoes and bombardment cannon shells at the same time. Since Gargotz got it half right (the device can fire tboth types of ammunition, but not at the same time), Urzok only ripped off one of his arms.
>>46249722
>>46249737
Orks unstoppably fleeing to shit like that without an upgrade is a bit shit. I get that they want orks to feel less controllable than other navies, but having them just flee is bad.
It would be better if Ork kaptins were less a lot likely to flee when that happens, but more likely to do other random shit like focusing on the enemy ship that just killed something (taunt effect), pushing the big red button or suddenly firing torpedoes.
The squig cage upgrade could then stop that too.
>>46249505
Doesn't the nova have the exact same chance to break?
Heres my final tyranid list
2 hive carriers
2 gun cruisers
1 melee cruiser
4 escort squadrons
is there a way to play the table top online?
IIRC there was that program for 40k that simulated the tabletop, it was awesome
>>46250247
except the nova is an extremely powerful long range targeted ability, the zzap kannon is just a standard weapon.
>>46250340
I don't think 5% is anything to worry about though. Nova was or is spammed out the ass by almost everyone but I don't think I have once seen it break because of that.
>>46250340
The zzap kannon has a 100% accuracy rating though, unlike the noobie cannon
>>46250339
Vassul and there is a BFG plugin for it
So uh, funny bug: If an Ork ship's engines get citted out while the Big Red Button is active, the ship is permanently stuck in BRB GOTTA GO FAST! mode.
I had one of my kroozas basically just careening all over the map in a match, basically reduced to doing jousting/ramming drive-by before spending the next half minute circling back.
>>46250462
The zzap is basically just a slightly more powerful lance.
Lore question here: Can Orks survive in a vacuum? Do they wear fully insulated space suits or can they actually leave skin exposed because they're ridiculously durable?
How long before the whinning starts you think? A day or two is my guess before many cry out for orks to be nerfed
>>46250681
It's already started on the official forum.
>>46250339
There is vassal with the bfg module.
>>46250666
They have space suits. Or they are full on Cybork.
Stumbled upon this video where it seems to be claimed that
GW might re-release BFG or something

>>46250681
Just started out with an Imperial admiral specifically so I could test out fighting the Orks.
Results have varied from absolutely curb-stomping some to barely eking out a win on others. My torpedo CLs and Firestorms can put up a solid fight so long as I can pay attention and micro them out of the way of ramming attacks.
That said, I basically won one match on a technicality. I was down to one 3/4 health, on-fire Firestorm (heh) against a heavily-damaged Ork cruiser. I boosted forward hoping to get in some last-minute damage before the flames consumed me, only to see the Ork cruiser get Insubordinate Captain *twice* and disengage, giving me a win.
>>46250801
They're rebooting Specialist Games, Blood Bowls coming next year, BFG, Mordheim etc come later.
>Hit the big red button and WAAGH
>Grot ship launcher CL does a 4 boarding torpedo, 2 assault boat, and 4 action boarding pod drive by
I'm pretty happy with the Orks so far, the only complaint I have is that the lotz o gunz feel slightly too weak to be of any real use. They fire too slowly imo.
What is /tg/'s thoughts?
>>46244626
Necrons would probably be very outnumber, and lack that mini warp jump thing you can do
Or have an issue with power like you can auto repair quickly but you need to drop weapons or shields also turn on a phase shifter at the cost of speed and weapons
How the hell do I get to actually play this game, like what the fuck. Bought it, downloaded it and it launches but then doesn't respond to anything. Checked the game cache, reinstalled it, updated my graphics crad. Fucking nothing.
>>46251050
For what orks to best not taking kannons is stupid. Chuck AP rounds on it and a lite kroozer can go toe to toe with a IN cruiser
ON the subject of general balance, they are not bad. Savages are maybe a bit too cost efficient because packs of 3/4 can take out Cruisers and beat the snot out of them and a least cripple them. Orks pack a lot of armour but their shields drop at the drop of a hat. Before anyone says ramming is overpowered when orks hit the button they are easy to dodge by coming to a new heading and forcing a glancing blow which does naff all damage
What a lot of people don't get is that orks are soo unmanoverable and I have had that exploited a few times to great effect. People just need to get used to the new grot on the block
>>46251308
Check your antivirus
>>46251308
Mine worked, then did that for a couple of days and then went back to working.
It's a fucking mess at the moment but I'd rather they spend the time preparing for the proper release rather than fixing the beta.
>>46251342
Shut down all my anti-virus. Still didn't work.
>>46251322
I agree that ramming is fucking hard against something that isn't a standard Cruiser. So I think ramming is just powerful enough. Especially with that dedicated ramming escort. I don't like that if you don't brace for impact it kills itself ramming anything larger than it
>>46251468
Did you buy it on steam?
>>46250725
Of all the flavours they could have had,why did they have to pick salty
>>46251530
Yes. Is there another way?
Do the orks have fighta bombas or both as separate craft
>>46251589
I assume you could download it off of their website
>>46250830
Most likely it would be like they dreadfleet
Although more than 5 samey necrons and an dark eldar redesign would be nice
>>46251468
If you have the same problem I had, you need to go into the game files and run the installers for the unreal engine and redistributables or whatever.
Why you have to do this I do not know.
>>46251661
Only thing I would worry about there is getting the same issues and then not being able to return it.
>>46250830
Necromunda video game when?
>>46251722
Yeah I can understand that. I'd say that you keep trying to get it to work on steam for now and if it persists in not working, then get a refund and buy it directly from them. And if it still doesn't work, it's probably something with your computer that makes it not work
>>46251677
Yup, there were run.
>>46251796
Don't see how it could be the computer, it is a fairly new machine and runs everything else just fine.
>>46251788
In my dreams anon and it shouldn't work like Mordheim. I want something a little more free form /tactical not strategic
Does this game have an anticheat? I just played my first game on a new admiral against level 10, fully upgraded cruisers and escorts.
>>46251646
Ork bomber squadrons do less damage, but engage enemy ordnance they encounter on the way to their target, so yes I guess.
>>46249380
I was talking about the mega kannon, the real best weapon.
>>46251948
There's no ELO system in place at the moment.
>>46251385
>preparing for the proper release rather than fixing the beta.
You realise that's the same thing right?
>>46252224
Isn't that just for ranking skill? A high level admiral shouldn't be getting low level games such as 250 cruiser clash.
Anyone else having issues with starting up the game?
>>46252352
Yup
See >>46251308
>>46252352
>>46252397
Has always worked fine for me. Can't help sorry Anons
>>46252300
For that, they do get low level games, but the lesser player gets a +5% bonus to points limit for every level the enemy admiral has on them, iirc.
I think in the eventual form it will be a little avoided by matchmaking, but at the moment more games and faster queues are the focus.
>>46251661
>>46251722
Chances are it will just give you a steam code, that won't be refundable because it's from a third party.
>>46252467
Stops right at the "Focus Home Interactive" logo.
>>46252397
Seriously am wondering what the deal is. Couldn't be the patch, right?
I am sick and tired of being put in nhigh point games. All i have is 4 LCs and i keep getting put in 600 point games againt BCs and multipe Cruisers. Godfobid i want to upgrade my ships and not just go for the next weight class up.
I am being penalised for playing how i want to play and therefore getting up admiral levels
>>46252637
>Couldn't be the patch, right?
Nope. I was fucked before the patch. I thought the patch might fix it for me...but it didn't.
>>46245791
>>46245791
>The Looted Novacannon you get form the blood Axes favour? It has a 25% chance to blow itself up on each shot.
>>46247464
Maybe they can make it look like tape with scribbled writing next to it?
>>46250666
>Can Orks survive in a vacuum?
If they's dead 'ard they can for a bit.
>>46252204
Short range, slow rate of fire, can still miss or be bounced by armor and you have to give up torpedoes, one of your best tools vs kiting assholes.
>>46250666
They don't believe that space has no air, so they can breath in a vacuum for a bit.
>>46250801
Yeah they will be. There's no timeframe yet but they've restarted the specialist games division who will be bringing back BFG among others as well as doing future boardgames (i think betrayal at calth was their first thing IIRC)
Imperial favours are absurdly fucking shit compared to the incredible buffs that other races get.
Imperial Navy favour - a free cobra ffs. What am I going to do with that? Fire two little torpedoes that will probably miss towards the Goff-favoured cruiser about to take a quarter of my battleship's health away with its's +50%dmg ram?
>>46252690
Well, that's disheartening. Really would like to try out each faction... blergh.
>>46253381
Torpedoes just got a fairly hefty buff, m8.
Well this looks delightful
Also I get the feeling that they must have jacked up the Admiral exp income as you go up levels like nobodys business. Already a level 6 ork after 3/4 hours where it took my IN admiral about 10
>>46253583
Torps are actually useful now.
>>46253705
God Bless. It's like looking at a Zuul orbital all over again.
Is Battlefleet tabletop even still popular? From what I hear, it's drifted into obscurity until the recent Battlefleet Gothic: Armada game
For the life of me I just cannot seem to catch Chaos players with an Orc fleet.
Kiting for days.
>>46253780
sadly you need multipe ZZaps, skilled torp shots to cutt ships off or the game breaking statis bombs.
Pick your poison
Also guys did I fuck up by getting my first cruiser to go all launch bays
>>46253583
Even so, Imperium needs to be buffed. They're meant to be close quarters tanks yet orks completely outmatch them. A battleship broadside will tickle an ork cruiser's shields, while that same cruiser can tear your battleship a kilometre-wide anus if it has the goff favour buffing it's ram.
I dont think orks should be nerfed, I enjoy their unique mechanics, but the Imperium needs to be able to hold its own for more than a few seconds up close with them.
>>46253381
Free Cobra every 150 seconds and no more worry about insubordination is pretty dope. Astartes are great for fast, short-ranged ships like Dauntless and Dominator to beef up your boarding/lightning strikes. Mechanicum is neat for some ships, extra upgrade ain't bad and half ost on everything means you cna experiment some. And Inquisition is just eally fucking great for carriers - seven free crew points and the ability to reveal sensor blips without having to go into augur range is great for ships that want to keep at range while throwing out strike craft.
