The Fortress is the highest level among them and has 30+ battles waged, it seems like people can't kill it.
The others are named like this based on the length of their service and their effectiveness in battle.

Everything is upgraded with extra void shield, ships with ramming spur have extra hull. Otherwise shield regen. Macro canons have AP amo, Gothic has lance range, mars has ordonnance cooldown. Dauntless have extra teleportarium.
My strategy is to brawl and ram and use the gothic has support and the mars against Eldar.right now I feel my fleet is shit. Should I keep on struggling or start a new profile? What skills/upgrades do you suggest for brawling has IN?

Ahaha, the last story mission can get fuuuucked.

>>47045722
It's because the point cap balances itself between the two of you. Your total points between both players in your case is 600, which means both of you must work with 300 points to each other. To be fair, that's enough for a battleship for each player on a team.

They are probably going to remain OP as fuck. The best thing to do is leave matchmaking when you see an eldar player.

They play differently to IN ships, not being similarly brawler like.
So, no, they are not exactly weaker than any other factions starter ships, it just takes some getting used to and upgrades to use them.

>>47047426
The Tyrant's super long range plasma macros seem pointless for a brawler though.
>>47047463
Doesn't that mean that you can focus on non weapons upgrades?
I'm also curious if there's any reason other than fluff and variety not to just throw admech on everything.It's not like imperium ships ever suffer from insubordination anyhow.
>>47047426
>Lunar meme
>>47042728
on the TT they probably play closest too coldwar naval combat. Most of their gunnery is turreted and mainly forward focus with on sitting back at standoff range. reliant on attack craft and missiles for a lot of their long range effectiveness.
>>47049162
macro cannons are still good up close, the extra range is just a bonus.
You want the Tyrant over a dominator because torpedoes work and work well up close and you have that ramspike if needed.
>>47049569
>if needed
So whenever possible, you mean.
In an escort squadron, if one ship gets +1 LD does that apply too the whole squadron?
I am tempted to do a run through the campaign with every battle with just a flagship plus as many destroyers as possible.

>>47046108
He's a character from Gorka Morka, and I know about him only second hand.
Basically one of the game's factions was a bunch of revolutionary Gretchin, who decided they didn't like being bullied by the bigger, meaner Orks. And they have a lot of silly soviet revolution era referenced to their style, except sillier cause they're Orks.
>>47045296
Chaos have better speed and range, and weaker armour and damage on their light cruisers. So they spend the majority of their early fleet games running away, throwing bombers backwards.
>>47053097
I know Gorkamorkas fluff, but I just can't get my head around that name. There is Da Red Gobbo, but can't remember no Eric.
>match against eldar player
>he just kites around and uses ranger strikes to blow up engines

>>47055357
That's why the game really could do with some sort of victory points mechanic in cruiser clash. If that guy had been randomly selected as defender instead he pretty much would have won by default.

>>47057457
>I can't do this one thing that was clearly broken
>Therefore the option is useless
+20 TV is no small thing for Chaos, since your ships can get sphincter scorched with a single lucky lightning strike.
The cloud is a bit meh, but it still does a good job of deterring AP escort swarms, and it really adds up over time if you line up and just brawl, making use of your superior boarding. Get culties and slaves to get rapid-fire boarding pods and near immunity to enemy boarders for extra FUN.
>>47057515
I didn't know the cloud was a gimmick, I'm just a nurgle lover.
Khorne seems to coincide well with my love for fighters and lightning strikes.
Slaanesh' promise is cool but it's very situational.
Tzeentch is great to have one of atleast.
Cheers for the tip though, I've focused on Squadron Sergeants mostly and slaves so far on my ships.
Gimme tips to git gud with IN
15 hours in and I still suckling massive cock and get BTFO by AI on normalit may have something to do with the fact that none of my ships use taunt
>>47057562
Get use to bullshit aiming with the nova cannon or learn how to use torpedo. I was shit at IN for a long time but now I got use to them. They seem to depend more on abilities and everything than any other race.
When I was chaos I just had to boost out of range and lance them, and then fought to stay out of range using my abilities to do so. But with IN your abilities are your weapons.
>>47057538
Slaanesh is arguably the strongest one for Chaos' main playstyle, right next to Tzeentch, since they both deter pursuit, identification, and return fire in major ways. Slaanesh also comes with the bonus of forcing amusing mutiny cascades on orks and imperials.
As Nurgle, try having two or three brawlers, supported by a midrange ship and whatever fire support you can cram. Give all the brawlers and the midranger shield transfer and some defensive upgrades so you can actually brawl and not get murderized instantly. With this, your optimal tactic is to just hug the enemy and board them to death over time while the space aids eats away at their hull.
A slow death compared to what some other fleets can dish out, but a sure one, and you debilitate them over time so it gets easier the longer you keep fighting.
>>47057538
Slaanesh is wonderful for fighting both Orks and Eldar: against Eldar it shuts off their pulsars on an attack run, and against Orks it causes mutiny cascades like nobodies business.

What about taking the Manoeuvre gauge refill to make better use of stealthed BRB?

The punchline is.
I run out of fuel (metaphorically speaking) at the end of the battle. I can't finish off the last few ships the enemy has and so far my teammates couldn't do that either, because
A) Panzee eldar who didn't move enough
B) Another ork.
Also ork with engines busted is a sad ork.
>>47056568
This one forgot put what should have been in the subject field in the name field.
He even forgot to put /bfgg/ in the OP so searching /bfgg/ or Battlefleet Gothic returns nothing.
>>47059511
>That's enough to warrant another thread.
>>47058611
If you wanna be a kunninly brutal Ork Kaptn, you can't forget the brutal part. So basically, instead of using your stealth to kite and try hit shit from afar, do the opposite. Encircle your opponent, get up to just out of sensor range, then hit that big old button and wreck shit. If they manage to try and disengage, hit stealth and do it again.
To that end, I'd probably argue for stuff like heavy kannonz, BRB recharge time, Stasis Bombs, and perhaps extra sensor range and MWJ on some ships.
>>47058969
Slightly annoyed that they're back to just the big four. Still hype, though, and looking forward to slice apart silly Spice Marines with a well-timed Banshee assault.

I have a Khorne AP Carnage for the same reason. I just silent run it into a cloud and ambush pursuers. Nobody expects BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD after hunting Tzeentch carriers for half the match.
So speaking of Chaos, is there like any good justification to take a Murder? It just seems to be straight inferior to the Carnage in every way.

The lance is pretty gud, and the ship is more versatile than a Carnage in that it can chase and snipe with it, and has better firepower projection. Still, it does have the usual mixed armament problems and it can't kite very well due to the big gun being in front.
It has its niche, but you must have that niche open in your composition, whereas the Carnage is just solid all around.

It's always relevant.
Is there some sort of ramming/physics glitch going on? I just had an Ork light cruiser collide with my Dauntless, and they continued on broadsides point blank, my ship just evaporated in around 2 seconds. I can't imagine the Ork guns would have done that much damage that quickly.
>>47064433
Yeah, when ships grind together continuously the game sometimes seems to count that as a huge number of individual small collisions rather than one ongoing one.
That said though, Ork Heavy Kannons have seriously ridiculous damage, and it's very frontloaded. IIRC one salvo can do almost 100 damage, so that'd be one full sixth of your Dauntless' health.
