Imperial ships torpedo tube positioning alarms my autism. There should be no way they can load the torps into them.

>>46803095
I can watch this over and over again
15 hours untill the Gothic War begins
>>46803376
I was going to say, seeing how this trailer was well made, I have great hopes for the next trailer for pic related.
Then I remembered the german fiasco.
>>46803458
>15 Hours before I can paint my ships
Or so I hope.
I'm going to look very fanboyish, but really this game is everything I ever wanted in a Battlefleet vidya. It's like a dream come true, the devs are based, as much if not more into it than us, what more can we ask for?
>>46803583i have short hair
>>46803583
What is this "germen fiasco?" Genuinely curious here.
>>46803095
;_;
I'm fucking moved to tears. Finally a game that really catches the spirit of 40k.
>>46803682
Basically, some no name german website got ahold of a fairly long footage of the game (apparently Focus gave it to them, but considering they were the onlynones to have it, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a leak.) And so they commented it, shitly, pausing every 5 seconds to talk about the game. They were mildly unimpressed, saying that stuff like weapons recoil was missing and the likes, which made the game feel a bit lame.
Now the problem is, one of the devs that is sometimes active on a french forum commented on that. He was infuriated, saying this was never discussed with them, and that they took litteraly the worst parts of the game to comment, as apparently that was the least finished part right now, with WIP NPCs and the likes. What's more, in that footage, crucial stuff was deactivated according to him, like the fucking recoil and SFX, which obviously make the game good thanks to details but are proeminent in their absence.
He started to shittalk the editor before editing his comments for obvious reasons, but still said that it was a fucking joke to see the game that badly shown, with the worst part of the game, no trailer, in german, no subs, and with deactivated features.
Methinks Focus is making sure not to fuck up this time.

Have one or two specialized ships for sneaking.
You aren't gonna enjoy hunting an Eldar admiral.
>>46803626
This makes me wonder. Will painting override favours?
>>46803967
tbf, I lost it too the first time I played it.
Of course, that was like, three weeks ago and the fourth mission I'd played, but idk. Sure, he's bad and it must be frustrating to watch, but there's no indication he's been playing the beta.
Wew, had a weird bug were it wouldn't tell me the faction I was facing, then I had none of the ships I selected for battle. Just readied up and lost immediately
>>46804458
He finally beat it. Now he's playing a rebel mission
I just had a 700 pint battle against someone who had the imperial navy favour on every single ship. Never before have I seen so many escorts and never again do I hope to.
>>46803095
That's a nice trailer.
The Imperial Navy has become one of my favorite things in 40k because of BFG.

What's the biggest ship that can land on a planet? Can escorts do it?
>>46806416
No, that would be a simple misunderstanding of them game
This guy was wondering, which I'm unsure which one or both, why his terminators aren't critting my fully upgraded boyz with belt armor, or that his Emperor class ship couldn't shoot behind him when I destroyed it.
I don't know, he wouldn't clarify.
Just got BFG:A and got some noobish questions. Is there a screenshots folder? Because whenever I try to take a screenshot and paste it all I get is a solid black image.
>>46806698
Did you get it on Steam/have Steam and can put it on as a non-steam game?
F12, then do this
>>46806506
Belt armour doesn't apply to boardings, or at least I am 90% sure it doesn't. I put it on every singly one of my eldar ships and on multiple occasions I've still lost generators from the first boarding action of the game.
>>46806982
Are you sure? Because Orks also get multiple assaults, along with some favors for other factions.
>>46804395
No.
Imperial Navy: Female Admirals yea or nay?
>>46807964
I don't see wht not. The only "problem" will be that the devs or the modders will have to switch the whol picture,isntead of just the head like they normally do.
>>46807964
personally nay
nothing wrong with it, but salty space sea captains being anything other than dour looking men just ain't my cup of tea.
>>46808033

The Imperium doesn't care about your sex, as long as you die for it.
The captain of the WE fleer during the Great Crusade was a woman. Though you can put that in ADB's need for waifus in each of his books.
>>46807964
I mean yea, it's plausible, but the main issue is can you make it grimderp enough?
>>46807964
Only if they are Chinese Pirates.
>>46806762
Thanks never needed to use it.
What's a good balanced Imperial cruiser starting out?
I'm thinking either Lunar or Dominator because Nova Cannon.
>>46808302
Doesn't strike me as too hard.
>>46807964
Yes, but at lower priority than literally everything else pertaining to actual mechanics, stability, and being feature-complete.
>>46808302
The segmentum fleets are just old boys clubs. Most ranks are obtained because of family prestige and personal connections. Nothing particularly grimderp about it.
>>46804223
Because the Eldar are the best race, and the other races are for shitters.
>>46808189
>Though you can put that in ADB's need for waifus in each of his books.
The Imperium might not be sexist. But you certainly are if a gender of a character stands out this much for you or when you consider every woman in a book a "waifu".
>>46808568
Until the Necron DLC comes out.. You might as well line up your teeth on the curb to save yourselves sometime.
>>46808450
It's just the art monkeys that would have to do the work, so shouldn't take too much time off coding stuff. Recording lines in female voice might be pricey though.
>>46808586
Do you not?
What are the characteristics, strengths, and tactics of Space Marine's Fleets?
What's the difference between the Eldar and the Dark Eldar fleets?
>>46808780
Eldar ships figuratevly rape you, Dark Eldar ships literally rape you
>>46807964
I don't see why there wouldn't be.
>>46808765
Best at close range, but slow and cumbersome.
>>46805580
I'm just glad we're finally getting a WH40k game where the everyday men and women of the imperium are put front-and-center as the heroes rather than jerking off the astartes yet again.
Feels good seeing fucking muhreens play second fiddle to the IN.
>>46807964
There are plenty of example in both Black Library and Fantasy Flight's Rogue Trader book.
A particulalry badass example is a Dauntless crusier captain in Battlefleet Koronus.
There may even be an actual female admiral in that book, cant remember exactly.
>>46803095
>Ordered at hunpoint
Wow, I knew 40k was brutal, but those guys really don't mess around!
>>46807936
Damn. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to deal with the stupid mustard color that space marine favor gives your ships.
>>46808780
Dark Eldar are slightly less maneuverable than Eldar Corsairs, though still almost as fast in a straight line. In return, they get slightly better armour (on par with Chaos and Craftworld Eldar), modular ship loadouts, and better boarding. Their main unique advantages are:
-The Mimic Engine, which basically allows them to disguise themselves as friendly ships that can't be fired upon until they're in range.
-The Impaler, which is a giant oversized assault boat. It has shorter range than the smaller ones, but can inflict much more severe critical damage if it does connect.
-Improved regular assault boats that are less likely to be hit by turrets and can choose to take enemy crew as slaves instead of inflicting damage, which gives bonus victory points to the Dark Eldar.
>>46799781
Like in Sword of the stars, where you could annihilate populations of planets with orbital bombardment and genocide entire races from the map.
Pegi 12.
Because no cursing or visible blood (outside of few loading screens and defeat screens).
>>46808765
They're basically the Imperium's Orks. They've about the same overall speed and maneuverability as the IN ships, but with the best possible armour all around. They also gain a big boost to boarding, have improved assault boats, and particularly powerful short-ranged bombardment cannons. In return, all of their weaponry tends to be fairly short-ranged, and they've pretty much no lances available at all.
So basically, they play kind of similar to Orks. Head right at the enemy and bring them to battle immediately, exchanging broadsides and boardings at the close range. Their main weakness are enemies that can keep away and have a significant number of lances, since past their amazing armour they still only have the same hitpoints as equivalent imperial ships do.
So in the current vidja meta, they'll probably be pretty strong against IN and Orks, but probably struggle against Chaos and Eldar.
>>46808586
Oh come on, don't put words in my mouth.
Look at the NL trilogy, Helsreach, Emperor's Gift, Talon of Horus, Betrayer and First Heretic.
There's always that archetype of the woman close to the space marine,seeing his good side with some "sexual" (for all it can be with SM) between the two.
Inquisitor Veil on the other hand, in the Ciaphas Cain serie, manages to not fall into thay category while being "there" at least as the narrator, in every book.

It's a trap most writers seem to fall into, hey look it's a woman and a man working together, it's all about sex!
Surprisingly I don't want to fuck every woman I work with, even the non-hambeasts are just work people
>>46808826
>Eldar ships figuratevly rape you, Dark Eldar ships literally rape you
True. It's called the Impaler: an assualt boat the size of a small ship, that penetrates your vessel and disgorges thousands of rape-elves aboard her. If you don't show a hole to put it in, they'll make one.

IIRC they said that custom paintjobs will not be available at launch, but they will come for free a bit later.
>>46809909
I just want to be able to paint my escorts to match my capital ships.
>>46809890
One battleship and four light cruisers. It was one defense of the space station so I dicked around trying to lure him in. When he finally did come he had at least ten of them. I think he even got one or two more in from the left over points.
He would have own if he didn't disconnect for whatever reason.
>>46806460
Technically, all the ships can do it.
The questions are:
- What will it do to their landing location and the weather patterns on that continent?
- Will they ever lift off again?
In the RT RPG there's a ship background called "Planet-bound for millennia". It basically means that you had to haul the ship back to space before being able to use it, and it can be attached to everything up to grand cruisers.
Someone asked for the last screenshots of our ships in the last thread.
I give you, the occurrence border.
>>46810017
nice. Can't wait for spess mahreens so I can go into mp. I wanted to play orks but the way I barely won the escort mission changed my mind about them.
>>46806460
escorts can by default. The heavy transports (light cruiser sized) definitely too, larger transports maybe.
But generally any warship larger than a frigate can't. Though their are exceptions.
Taking my Retribution for one last xeno-hunt before the reset. I Think I'll hold out for a game against the eldar so that I can kill a voidstalker.
What are your feels about the server wipe in few hours?
Vid related reflects my feelings.

>>46811266
I don't mind. I've learned what does and does not work so the fleets I build should be better.
I just hope that renown gain isn't massively decreased and it becomes too grindy.
>>46811266
Considering it was a Beta It was expected, therefore I didn't get too attached to my ship, aside from a Hammer BC that I'll bring back once I dive again in the multiplayer.
I really hope the Strategic level of the Campaign will be good, to keep me hooked on the AI battles
>>46811266
I preordered and did not play the beta, so exited.
>>46811266
I think its good ...I used the beta mostly to fuck around and get a feeling for the factions and ships anyways.

>>46811370
Naw, they just wipe our multiplayer/skirmish progress.
>>46811477
Capitulate or set a trap.
>>46811453
What the fuck do you use a compass for in space?
>>46811567
To decide if you are Closing, Abeam or Moving Away.
>>46811567
To detect magnetic fluctuations in your ship's hull?
>>46811567
Aren't Pulsar's electromagnetic beams excellent way to calculate your position in space? Not like I think a compass is sensible enough.
>>46811477
If your opponent is at least semi competent it is impossible to win data recovery or assassination as the attacker against eldar unless you yourself are also eldar.
Either alt f4 in the fleet selection screen or play it as cruiser clash.
>>46811477git gud
>>46811645
Yes, but you need a radio telescope to detect them. Of course, this is Space-fantasy anyway, so who gives a damn.
>>46811567
might be more of a symbolic thing.
So, Orkzes. Best faction or best faction?
>>46811567
To throw at space pirates and space whales.
>>46811567
Astronauts from the Dark Age of Technology loved to roleplay as Space Pirates. I'm sure the compass is some sophisticated space-time supercomputer.
>>46803095
>this fucking trailer
I am cum
Game cancelled and to be remade into a mobile version, trust me my dad works at nintendo.
So hold on, the imperial ships are based on templates of pre-Imperium design? Does this mean the DAoT humans were flying around in gothic cathedrals through space too, even though they were supposedly Star Trek-esque humanists? Is there something about gothic cathedrals that just makes them good for space travel?
>>46811955
Extra Faith makes demons nervous.
>>46803095
>That Abaddon's voice
Fuckers gave him a brutish sounding voice. He is supposed to be a great orator, able to inspire his followers and fellow legions into great acts of villainy and violence.
They dropped the ball hard on this one.
>>46812031
I think it was mentioned in the last thread that abaddon has a different voice as he appears in the campaign prologue and that the dialogue in that trailer is just a mish mash of lines already in the game placed into a coherent order.
>>46812031
The trailer has a different voice compared to the intro video for abaddon so it not might be him in the trailer. In the lore abaddon didnt even captain the planetkiller all the time and it was some other chaos chucklefuck.
But yeah even if the voice wasn't Abaddon and they use is his Intro voice he still sounds like he gargled a ton on gravel and acid.
>>46812031
>>46812053
>>46812062
https://youtu.be/piBhBMrDAVA?t=73 considering this is the intro voice, its not any less brutish than the trailer voice, really.
>>46812079
>That violin section
Based
>>46811955
Some are most aren't. Usually its subsystems or the core hull structure thats DAoT with "new" imperial designs filling in the gaps. STCs tend not be be designs for a whole tank or a whole warship. Its stuff like an individual fusion core or plasma gun or shield projector, which the admech will mix and match together with other STC designs as well as their own stuff.
>>46812079
Is it me or is there a face is that pink fire?
>>46812119
there is, the crone might be either serving another chaos lord or, as many have said in the past, the nightbringer.
>>46812119
Looks like Spire's face.
They're basically pulling a Macbeth here where the crone deliberately sets Abbadon up to fail, knowing that he would be foiled in the end.
>>46812147
You mean the Deceiver.
And she serves no one other than Abaddon. The rest of the Black Legion hate her guts and have tried to kill her many times for her trollish and mocking behavior.
Another thing they dropped the ball on. She is called the "Weeping Girl". That thing doesn't sound like a girl to me.
>>46812177
>where the crone deliberately sets Abbadon up to fail, knowing that he would be foiled in the end.
Except he succeeded. His plan was to acquire the Blackstone Fortresses. He got two and blew up the others in Imperial hands.
If the shadow behind indicates anything, then the hand that orchestrated the Gothic War got exactly what it wanted.
>>46812226
behind her*
>>46812226
Didn't he want to grab all of the fortresses though? Only getting out with two and then denying the others to the Imperials who weren't going to use them anyway doesn't seem like a big win.
>>46812147
The crone is deceiver, he just wants Abaddon to blow up the fortresses so Necrons could have it easier when they start purging life again.
At least in my opinion.
I assume there's going to be a multiplayer and solo skirmish data wipe?
>>46812281
Not sure about skirmish but MP profiles will get wiped
>>46812281
I think they said solo skirmish wouldn't get wiped, but we'll find out in like 4 hours anyways.
>>46812226
I suspect they may deviate from the official Gothic war storyline to allow the player to be a Gary Stu that destroys the Terminus Est, the Planet Killer, stops the Ork incursion etc etc.
>>46812258
Still better than nothing.
The Blackstone fortresses also act as massive Imperial navy bases in the sector.
He got two which he awakened to full power and destroyed the rest. In the end of the day, Abaddon walks way with two superweapons while the Imperium gets denied 6 naval bases. He returns to the Eye to consolidate his power while the Imperium has to deal with a sector in shambles.
>>46812332
Well...
>>46812413
Yeah, which completely goes against GW lore which has the Terminus Est taking an active role in the 13rd black crusade.
Hell, I heard hints that if you're good enough in the singleplayer campaign you can stop Abaddon from getting the two artefacts, preventing him from capturing a single fortress.
>>46812429
Yesterday while watching Infuriated Juan playing the campaign, i got to see him lose multiple times until the =][= told him to gtfo, in that ending Abaddon got the first artefact.
>>46812332
>>46812413
>>46812429
>>46812454
Knowing Chaos and the Eye of Terror that Typhus could be pulling tricks like Abby did that one time he lost tothat daemon in a bet only to tell his past self the answer.
>>46812454
I think it's intended that he does get both artefacts and some of the blackstone fortresses (the narrative trailer shows clips of the things being used to blow up a planet), just not so early into the campaign as what happens if you completely cock everything up.
>>46812490
>Nurgle devotee pulling Tzeentchian ruses
Abaddon is chaos undivided, it makes far more sense for him to do that.
>>46808060
This would've been a great response to >>46808059
>>46812541
Tzeentch doesn't have a monolopy on ruses. He's just expected to.

>>46812590
No, but cheating death is like the antithesis of what Nurgle stands for, the whole point of worshipping him is to recognise inevitability and that everything comes to an end, whereas one of the basic motivators for Tzeentch worship is the cheating of death and the quest for immortality.

>No Eldar deathbeam nerfs
>No chaos buffs
>>46812761
Eldars got their holofields nerfed/changed alot so they became a lot more squishy to balance out their murderbeams.
>>46812761
I'm happier with their armor being nerfed rather than their deathbeams, this way they're an even bigger glass cannon than before.
>The Imperium’s Plasma Batteries have been improved, and the fleet point costs of the Tyrant, Overlord and Retribution have been reworked accordingly.
>All those Imperial Navy specific upgrades.
I think over the next couple of patches they may diversify things for everyone which will be nice.
I've been playing with Chaos in the skirmishes, pretty keen to check out the campaign. Any tips for Imperial fleet builds?
>>46812755
>weapons now fire insubordinate corpses as ammo
>>46812761
I'd prefer one-step at a time, they changed holofields a fair bit. See what that does to their playstyle then hit the pulsars if need be.
>>46812761
They did make the Slaanesh Favour better, but yeah otherwise chaos got very little changes unless the imperial upgrade changes also apply to them.
>>46812791
Hard to say now with the cruiser changes, but dominators were pretty excellent brawlers and I built my fleet around them.
>>46812816
>The profiles are now retro-compatible considering upgrades. An upgrade replacing another will not cause problems anymore.
I think they have more upgrade changes coming up.
>>46811941
Joke is on you, there's another french dev planning to release a version of BFG where you fight against Tyranids on mobile.
>>46812827
Oh well. I'm off to bed, so hopefully you blokes will have worked out some good ideas by then.
>>46812863
>On mobile
FUCK NO!
>>46812601
>The Imperium has a new Escort vessel: The Widowmaker. It comes with torpedoes and an augur sensor passively enhancing its detection zone.
Huh. A dedicated scout escort. I like it.
>>46812601
>Eldar ships no longer suffer from the wobbling effect
OH GOD THE PULSARS WILL BE ABLE TO HIT SHIT MORE EFFECTIVELY
NOT GOOD BOSS
>>46812945
>Widowmaker
Is it called widowmaker because they are typically targeted by enemy fleets?
>>46812672
>my body is ready
>>46812945
With torps.
Depending on its costs, it might become teh new ship to grab in mass.

>>46812945
existed in the TT as well, an upgrade for cobras trading their guns for extra sensors and shit, giving them +1 ld, Widowmaker squadron was mentioned as one of the more successful squadrons that had been refitted as such

kek
>>46812601
Wait, data recovery and admirals can't be furtive, we can't run silent? That kind of sucks
>>46812978
No, it's because they have a really good-looking aft.
>>46813086
kinda feels like a kneejerk reaction to some of the speed+stealth shenanigans of certain space elves.
>>46813134
That just means that speed, instead of stealth, will be the primary strategy for these missions.
>>46812672
>Melta torps
Sound pretty good for initiating combat from an ambush. Forces enemy to use repairs and then you can really hurt him with assaults
>campaign will have mandatory unskippable story missions against eldar corsairs where the mission type is data theft and you are the attacker, the eldar have all the speed upgrades
Clench ur anuses now
>>46813086
Dunno, balances the dagger ear hunting a bit.
>>46813177
Glad to see that it's selling well.
>>46813148
Great, I'll tell that to my orks and in as they get ass raped from afar
>>46813308
Yeah, that's nice to see.
Can the webway assault favor power be used to steal data?
>>46812945
>>46812978
Wonder why they didn't just call it the Viper. That's the name of the scout sloop hull in Rogue Trader.
>>46813506
Because a viper is a ship with 3 torpedo tubes and no guns, see >>46813001
Daily reminder that if you play chaos you're a literal edgy teenager with no tastes who thinks that spikes and black are "cool"
>>46813580
Say that to my two acherons kiting you 9k away
>>46812601
>Plasma bombs now destroy nearby bombs when they explode.
GET FUCKED YOU DISGUSTING SPAMMERS
>>46813086
That seems downright bad, if you ask me.
GAME HERE!!!
>>46813884
So funny...
>>46813884
0/10, shit troll attempt.
55 minutes still.
>>46813884

is a nice one.
>>46813730

Ready to launch.

Final Update.
Steam will go down for mandatory maintenance in 10 minutes, the maintenance will last 10 hours.
>>46814128
Check up those gellar fields boys, some warp abomination seems to be breaching!
Ramming speed, all hands brace!
>>46813308
It was even #1 on the list earlier today
DAWN OF THE FINAL UPDATE EVERYONE, BRACE!
Can confirm mp admiralty is a wipe, game is a go lads.
ERE WE GOOOOO
So, No Space Marines for now?
>>46810675
I wouldn't bet on escorts being able to land, nor heavy transports.
FIFTEEN ORKS ON A DEAD MAN'S 'ULK
LOOKIN' DOWN DA BARREL OF A GUN
GRUNTIN' TO EACH OVA
THROUGH BIG, SHARP TEEF
SAYIN' "THIS ONE'LL GIVE US SOME FUN"
>>46814308
They said after launch. They already had some marine ships in the launch trailer so I bet they are not far off
>>46811955
The decorations may have come later – or, all the Gothic stuff was already in the STCs, and the Imperium is only Gothic in style because they’ve never known anything else.
>>46814308
They said they would come around a month or two after release. No word on the other faction yet.
FOR THE EMPEROR
*clicks play*
So, are steam users shitting on the game yet?
I'm in lads
>>46812601
>Taunt duration 50% longer on Orks, 50% shorter on Eldar
Well, there goes my anti-Eldar tactic.
>Eldar deal 50% less ramming damage
But at least Eldar can't even hurt each other either
>Imperium get Melta Torpedos, faster torpedo upgrade, and Power Rams
Metal as fuck.
>Data Recovery and Assassination Targets can't hide
Less MOIND GAEMS, but does nothing to stop Eldar simply never being in range of your guns.
>Shuriken Cannons are now named Starcannons
Hooray, less fluff-madness!
>Holofields massively changed: 805 chance to block Lances, and reduces Macro accuracy by 50%
Hopefully this makes them actually killable. Also, gives good reasons to buy macro-accuracy upgrades
>Eldar ships no longer suffer from the wobbling effect
Hidden +100% DPS buff.
>>46812737
>There goes stasis bomb and plasma bomb combo
Plasma destroys stasis, not the other way round. Just make sure the stasis goes off first.
>>46803095
>Dat perfect mix of over-the-top lines and zealous righteousness in the dialogs.
>Dat fucking non-stop action sequence.

>>46807964

>implying traitor legions aren't moved by intimidating voices.
That new IN Frig, the Widowmaker, is listed twice in fleet selection it seems
>AZERTY still default key setting
Kek, prepare for bad reviews due to broken controls
>>46814525
I wondered what was going on.
>press accidentally return to main menu
>it does not ask for confirmation
FFFUCK! Adn they seriously need to make the ship health numbers to be more visible

Fourteen Orks on a humie’s ship,

>>46813177
Man Emperor no.
Probably not the best time to release these since Armada just launched, but why not - here's the completed Taiidan Empire Fleet List, ready for beta testing.
Friend and I played 6 games over the weekend, trying to get a feel for the fleet, and it seems fairly balanced now against the majority of opponents in BFG. Eldar vs. Taiidan is still a bit odd, but much more tense considering the shield mechanics both sides employ.
Need to pretty it up a bit, but I'd like to get these out here to get some folks looking at them.
>>46814312
Everything can land, conditions vary when it gets down there though.
And good luck getting back up without that being a massive effort and pain in the arse, we're talking orbital cranes for some of the big ships and anti-grav
>>46814588
Thirteen Orks with the Captain’s chest,
Hopin’ to quench their greedy thirst,

Review copy? How on earth do they have a review ready yet?
Still having issues with Data Recovery; an IN light cruiser just grabbed it from my BC and warped straight out. I had lightnings, terminators, and assault boats hitting it, and they did fuck all. Like, what?
>>46815187
Sometimes dice just hate you, man.
>Still cant zoom out enough
Come on ffs. Yes you made very pretty ships but its more helpful to see the whole map you know
>>46815025
That's pretty solid, PC gamer is fairly stingy with their scores most of the time.
>>46815219
This was one of my gripes. First thing I tried to do was go into full-on top-down view and zoom out.
>>46815202
It certainly seems that way more often than not
>doing first level
>the show the chaos fleet
>while they are still talking and showing the chaos fleet they are attacking my ship
>i cant skip it
>defeat
what in the fuck
>Fixed a bug affecting the Eldar Bien-Tan boarding actions.
Well, there goes the fun.
>>46815282
Friend of mine had the same issue. I guess just redo the mission and try to stay away or something?
>Doing the second mission
>Other ships tries to warp out and execute him
>Literally 5 seconds later the next captain insubordinates
>Game decides to blow up the enemy cruiser and give me a victory before I can execute the next captain
This campaign is gonna be fun
>tfw 0-10 for Multiplayer
>>46815309
Aw, no more "unleashing the Swordwind".
What the fuck is this shit? I can't even get a ship there to complete the fucking thing!
You know what, I really fucking hate unskippable tutorials
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I just get wrecked every single fucking time. I thought chaos was supposed to keep a distance and whittle people down? I can't seem to do enough damage?
FUCK
>Still to fleet painting
>They removed the critical hit lance upgrade for faster torpedoes
>Shitty Viper knockoff escort
Why.
