Attach the probes to their ship so they're never outside your range of vision.
>Also how do you deal with eldar?
99% of them are garbage, but since I stack carriers all I need to do is keep my range and spam boarders since they have garbage troop values. Once their engines are destroyed you just hit them with out lance barrage and it's over.
Chaos is so fucking stupid. I hate playing them but there's literally no reason to play another faction.

They suck. They cant get away fast enough to kite properly.
Hey guys is it true that if your ship gets destroyed enough you lose everything on that ship eventually?
Because the 3rd time my ship blew up I had to buy a whole new one with new crew and upgrades and everything
>>335200275
I don't hate Chaos, I hate kiting in a game that's supposed to be about crazy broadside trades and rams and tactics.
>>335200309
I'm not home, but basically all you need to do is stack ships with carriers/lances.
Upgrade the carrier cooldown, upgrade your lance range/damage/etc, get stasis bombs and microwarp jump, get the probe you attach to ships since your range is longer than your vision, and then kite the fuck out of everyone with your bombs, jumps, and 15k range lances and bombers.
It's retardedly OP, and only a competent Eldar player will be able to touch you, and those are rare.
>>335200423

>>335200346
>What is Nova cannon

A geniune counter, but very few players are good enough to pull it off. They usually just end up eating an entire lancer/carrier boarding broadside and die instantly

>>335200572
Aren't Eldar stupidly overpowered in this game?
>>335201294
Not anymore since the release patch.
They're still strong, but you have to be a very solid player to use them now. They're almost always a free win, but sometimes a rare guaranteed loss.
>>335201401
Good luck beating them on a high point space station assault
>>335201294
Yes. They did make it so that only retards die when using eldar.

As much as I want to like this game it seems that the very strict timers don't work well with your incredibly slow ships. By the time you reach the objective you'll probably only have 30 seconds left to do whatever it was you needed to do, and in some cases you'll be given an objective on the other side of the map you physically cannot reach in time.
It seems that most of the time I lose isn't to being outplayed, but to a timer. The first planetary assault mission is a big example of this.

Wow now chaos really doesn't have anything.
They aren't much faster than IMperial ships, now their lancers are about equal.
There's literally no reason to even play chaos anymore
>no nids
>no necrons
>no tau
>NO NIDS
They should have axed the cogitator and just slowed the game by like 25%
game moves too fast to really control everything, especially when you're trying to fire multiple torpedoes at the correct time or whatever
on the other hand the cogitator is mind bogglingly fucking slow.
>>335207358
you can tab through ships, and the game is perfectly paced right now to keep it mechanically competitive.
>>335207102
This.
How the fuck do you have a 40k space game without Nids?
So is this multiplayer only or does it have a single player campaign too? I literally only wanted to buy it to play single player.
>>335207815
it has a campaign, its a structured story spread over the usual campaign map filler. It's imperial navy only though
You can play the other races single player in a skirmish campaign, though it lacks any map or real strategic value, you just build up a fleet over time as you get thrown into random battles against the computer.
the AI is pretty challenging though, and wont just be constantly fielding cheese against you
>>335207815
Single player very similar to XCOM, and a Skrimish mode you can play through with a fleet you level up as you go.

How the fuck have they still not fixed this bug.
>>335209192
Derrherrherr. Maybe because they expanded the fucking model range??? Still, the game is set in the time of the black crusade retard. Why would they waste time doing dickships that dont appear at the campaign at all???
>>335209208
I love that and the unable to issue move orders bug.
>>335209406
>Why would they waste time doing dickships that dont appear at the campaign at all???
probably to create a bigger product and appeal to people who really like tyranids
but those people are fewer in number so they just focused on the core races to begin with
In the gameplay trailer I saw them able to link ships in formation, did they took it out?
>>335209498
But it's based in the black crusade campaign which was before they expanded the model range. No doubt they'll add in other races as DLC.
>>335209406
>the game is set in the time of the black crusade retard
The campaign is. And you can't play orks, chaos or eldar during that, either.
If you're arguing the multiplayer has to follow the same rules, you're just being dumb.
Super hype for this game and managed to scrounge up the extra cash to grab it. I played BFG ages ago as the tabletop is there a quick rundown on the races/do they play the same as on the tabletop?
>>335209498
>>335209883
The Armada edition of Battlefleet Gothic introduced all the races that weren't in the Gothic War, including Necrons, Tau, Tyranids and Dark Eldars.
You're all full of shit.
I'm new to this game, which faction is probably best to play for a newbie?
I figured Imperial but I'm being outclassed by the other factions in all engagements in 1v1.
Orcs are heavier than me, Eldar flies circles around me and Chaos are always out of my range since my ships are slower.

>>335210182
they didn't rename the game, all those races were added to BFG
space marines werent in the original bfg release either.
This game coming out just makes my heartache that GW axed all the specialist games before I could really get into them. I want to build a fleet but ebay prices and recasts are horribly expensive.
>>335210187
Orks are the easiest to play, it's generally just getting in close for boardin and rammin plus your ships are very tough.
Imperium is middle of the road. Very adaptable with all sorts of abilities. Generally you'll rely on boardsides from mid range and torpedoes to do most of your damage now that Nova Cannons are worthless.
Eldar are very micro intensive and made of wet cardboard, relying heavily on hit and runs. When played right they can fly circles around everyone, launch a pulsar volley for an easy kill, and run off while the pulsar recharges. The problem is if they slow down or if they get hit then they're sitting ducks.
Chaos are long range kiters. Also micro intensive and made of slightly sturdy cardboard you need to rely on keeping your distance and using bombers, lancers, and control abilities to avoid letting them get close because you can't outram the orks, out gun the imps, or out burst the eldar.
>>335210872

Yet the videogame is set on BFG:A.
What is your point, exactly?
People complaining about "MUH BLACK CRUSADE" when only the campaign will have imperium vs chaos vs orks vs eldars vs admech, the other races will be added in multi or solo.
>>335211937
But it's obviously not set on Armada? It doesn't have all the races, it's the Black Crusade campaign, I don't know where you're trying to go with this. They literally just used the name Armada and you're getting hung up on it.
>>335212065
>i'm an idiot, please punch my face

>>335217815
My favourite cruiser was the domintaor for really solid brawling but now the nova is useless so probably the tyrant.
The best way to git gud is to spend some time playing each faction and getting to know their weaknesses and strengths. You should be adapting your play style to the faction and gametype of each match. A good general tip for imps though is that it's often much better to manually move your ships in a gun line and let them shoot themselves rather than issuing attack commands and letting them do the moving on their own. Assigning target priorities is very useful when doing this as you can still target specific ships and handle your own movement.

This, I'm interested in what the multiplayer is like, is it worth gettting? Or will this fucking game crash and burn, DOA?
Playing against Eldar as Orks is such a binary experience.
Either they're a shit player and try to brawl with you and they end up splattered all over your bow.
Or they're halfways decent and skirt the edge of your engagement range while whittling you down and you can't touch them.
>>335219279
Point limit is 300, you effectively have 2 because escorts can't trigger the event and you're up against a 600+ point army that targets your engines.
I found that splitting your two ships is a good way to get them both absolutely wrecked, better have them both in the middle so that one can play decoy while the other runs to the event, even then it's really based on luck with whether the enemy gets criticals and where the event areas spawn.

>>335217815
Dictator. Make sure you have them set to auto attack broadsides at w/e distance you want them to fight at. And use that space bar button like a motherfucker. So you can manually manouvres turn them to set up torpedo salvoes.
I let mine brawl at 3 k with boarding right clicked too so they're always making maximum use of all their weps. And bombers are gud 2.

Point costs for ships need to go up as they get upgraded and level up.
A new admiral with lvl 1-2 ships will get trounced by a player of equal skill but with higher level ships.
Doesn't have to be anything insane, but a ship that's 97 points at level 1 going to something like 105 points at higher levels wouldn't be too crazy.
Make it only apply the point increase if you actually upgrade the ship, so you can still keep running 3 light cruisers at 300 points if you like.
>>335223024
I agree it's bullshit. Instead you get extra points for every rank below your opponent you are but all that usually means is one or two extra escorts which just feeds more renown to your oponent with his fully upgraded and favoured ships.
>>335223650
Even when it's in my favor I see the bullshit.
I have two kitted out 97 pt light ork cruisers and I feel dirty nearly two-shotting (ramming) level 1-2 light cruisers
So I'm new and slowly learning how not to get my ass roasted, but I feel like the Gothic class cruiser I picked up for my first cruiser class is a little underpowered. The torpedoes are nice but I feel like the Lance's don't do much. I JUST upgraded them with range and vs shield dmg though so we'll see how that goes.
>>335224819
Dictator is better. Yes. Lances rock. But the close in brawling of 3k macros and boarding combined with turn manouvres to fuck things with torpedoes is better. And Then you've still got your marauder bombers and lightning fighters and valkyrie troop carriers assault boats or w/e for long range huehuehues
>>335224819
Gothics need a good brawler paired with them, they don't work as well on their own. I'm not even sure if they are viable at all at the moment though because when the game launched they nerfed lances and replaced the upgrade that increased lance critical chance to 300% with lock on to the torpedo boost.
In the beta my Gothic was my favourite ship I had, now I don't think I'm even going to bother picking one up.
Also fuck psychic storm dealing damage through shields now.
Can anyone please answer the question of is this game worth the cents?

Make sure they can't pop brace for impact. After the hit keep pushing em to do more damage. Get the torp speed upgrade. Only use melta torps against the "boss" ships.
>>335227878
See, this is a scene from starcraft 2. They went and copied the starcraft universe lol
>>335228194
thanks, gonna roll back to a save earlier in my campaign and practice
>>335228040
Ram as a fleet, keep cohesion among your ships. Works especially well against human players, as they will get thrown into dissarray. Only ram with one ship if you are losing that ship or they are losing the target ship.
Upgrades are based on your playstyle, I usually go defensive and focus on shields and transfers
>>335228296
You're not getting any bites m8
>>335226957
Depends who you are playing against. Boarding Orks, Nurglites or Biel-Tan Eldar is pretty pointless, so bombers are better for those. They are also better for finishing off damaged enemies since ship loses a turret for every X amount of of HP it loses.
Goddamn, Orks are so cool, I want to be one irl.
>>335228626
Get drunk and start a football riot
>>335227625
Prow kannons on all light cruisers, they are cheap and very killy. Effectiveness of a torpedo depends on a platform they are mounted on - the more maneuvarable it is the better. And Orks are the least maneuvarable army in the game. Also bigger broadsides have pathetic 3k range, making you even more of a sitting duck against mobile armies.
Carrier option is decent, but it's undermined by the fact that those ships literally have no weapons except aircraft and torpedoes, they become useless while their bombers are on a cooldown while costing more points that a simple light cruiser.

They generally won't do much until they are double upgraded. Also the ship with the macro turret might be better than firestorm for the purposes of spamming considering that lances were needed.

>>335231480
The red replace button on the right side of the screen. You should get practice at using torpedoes because they are great but a tiny spread of four is near useless so when it comes to light cruisers the Dauntless is the much better of the MKII.

Gamesplanet is one I trust, it's a UK site though so exchange rate might be wonky.
But I get my keys instantly when confirming the order and it's an official retailer too. Got both the game and the pre-order code which apparently some sites aren't able to do.

Is it true that whenever an Empire ship jumps through space with warpdrive at least 800 crew members die everytime?I miss Warhammer Online
>>335231649
How did I miss that....
Thanks.
>>335231889
I didn't mean this game by the way, I meant like in general in the WAR 40k universe.
>>335231889
No.
>>335231889
Something like that is considered a successful jump, yeah.
Let me take you through the average Warp travel procedure. The Captain calls down to prep the ship for Warp expedition. At that time, 12000 slaves who have never seen the outside of the work galley begin shoveling the dead bodies of the previous workers into massive furnaces along with whatever hard fuel source they have in storage, like a brutal Mr. Fusion. A field of pure psychic FUCK YOU is generated around the ship and the blinded, mentally traumatized man inside a metal egg begins screaming unendingly as he charts a course through the Warp, which is basically a giant ocean of pure emotion in which Unnamed Ones lounge around and fuck with humanity by the luxury of simply existing. The ship then plows into the miasma of what you could call Hell if you lacked imagination. Pray to the Holy Throne the Astropath doesn't accidentally get you lost, becomes possessed by a Daemon, or just explodes like a mushy human pinata from the mental stress of being around so much pure CANNOT BE. If the void shields even flicker on the 8000 year old vessel (which no one actually understands completely how to work), Daemons made of RAPE and LEMON JUICE will crawl into our reality and do things you literally cannot imagine to every soul aboard. I mean that. The very notion of understanding the completeness of the horror the human victims will be witness to would shatter your perception of reality and cause your head to explode.
Mission clock says they were only in the Warp for 5 days. It was 17 months for everyone aboard. They also missed their destination by a couple of solar systems and 80% of the crew is dead.
The Captain turns to his bridge staff and pops the cork on a vintage stock of Jherrik Ale and salutes another successful Warp Jump.
>>335231463
Just use some taktikz ya grot. Dey iz da best faction, ya just gotta be close iz all
>>335232041
I think I'll just stay on Earth.
>>335232041
>>335232029
The concept of flying through a cosmic horror hell in order to travel between space is pretty fucking badass.
It does get ridicolous at times when you read the lore and it says a ton of people die during the trips.
>>335232217
gettin close iz da wur da problemz ar
humies iz quik
>>335232041
80% of the crew dead seems a bit excessive, and yes, I know this is 40k.
I tried carriers as Chaos since people said they are OP. Well, not really for me. Don't know what am I doing wrong, because bombers did absolutely shit damage against orks and I ended up losing two light cruisers even though I kept maximum distance. Just what the fuck.
>>335232323
Granted what I posted is mostly Fanon, but the 40k universe is pretty brutal in scale.
Plenty of people die in jumps. But definitely not 80%
>>335232041
According to the books it's not as bad as this pasta.
You mostly have and unsettling feeling while traveling.
Though there is a chance that something fucks up. Either the Gellar field craps itself or some strong psyker decides to fuck with you. Then you dead. Or worse, stranded in the warp 4ever.
>>335232352
Ya dont get close to da umies, ya make dem get close ta ya grotty lil shipz. Be kunnin like dem Blood Axe boyz!
>>335232393
Did you just face me? Because I trounced a carrier faggot with my new ork admiral by just constantly going back into a cloud and then bracing for impact when he actually saw me.
Anyway, you wanna not blow all your combustion, keep a little bit so you can use it constantly without waiting for a full recharge. Just stay outta 3K range and be patient is all you have to do.

Unless the ork player spammed zzap cannons this did not happen. Improve your kiting game.

That's a Warp jump that went horribly wrong but somehow wasn't torn apart by Daemons.
A successful Warp jump will, at worst, give some people nightmares. As long as the Gellar Field holds and the Navigator does his job everything is mostly okay.
But if shit goes wrong, it goes wrong completely and in 99% of cases everyone is fucked.
Whoever '''''''''balanced''''''''' these objective game modes seriously needs to die in the next French terror attacks.
>>335220273
its a problem with the codex crack, if that's what you're doing
>>335232041
"Successful" warp jumps typically results in increased suicide rate due to mania, nightmaress etc, and increased homicide rates abord ships. But that pasta is trying waaaay to hard.
How the fuck do I play against Eldar? My last game against AI with Chaos ended up all their light cruisers just sticking in all my own ships asses and shooting them in back all that time.
This game is not fun at all. Awful unbalanced combat and even more unbalanced modes like assassination
>>335199592
Explain to me how win against Eldar with this same tactic in assassination. Its impossible.
>>335201294
My full astartes fleet seems to mess Eldar up.
>>335233642

You don't. Defender wins every single time.

Okay guys I'm thinking of a new cheese build.
All my ships will be Imperial Navy favor. I'll call in a retarded amount of Cobras.
How should I upgrade my cobras for this?
>>335228751
Underated post
>>335233883
The torpedo and new shield upgrade, then reinforce your shield. IN is also the direct counter to Slaanesh, but loses to any ork worth his salt
>>335234027
>but loses to any ork worth his salt
Why's that?
Guys, I don't think I'm having fun with this game.
The gameplay is great, and the campaign setup looks fantastic, but some of the scenarios are so unfair, I feel cheated when I lose.
git gud me all you like
>>335234332
Mass escorts is just a ramfest. Keep fleet cohesion and break the enemy lines. I love when Eldar do it.
>nurgle vs tyranids
who wins?
>>335231609
Actually, that highlighted bit is possible. If the crews were standing on/touching/etc the hull then the vibrations in the hull could travel to their ears via their body or void suit. It would have to be beyond exceptionally loud to be recognisable at all, but it is theoretically possible.
>>335234332
Imperial players tend to upgrade their ships to be decently fast brawlers with some long range capability thanks to torps/nova cannons, This works pretty well vs chaos/eldar, But Orks just flat out beat them at brawling while tanking the torps and nova cannons as they close the distance. Boarding tops have the potential to be much more devastating than regular torps if you're just talking about the occasional hit at long distance.
>>335209196
>>335234586
Nurgle if they don't implement melee damage. They may be impossible to board, but the ship is still glass and will go down fast under heavy barrage
>>335234586
Depend on the writer, both happened and both side can win depending on the author preference.
Any tips for a new player? Should I stick with the Imperials until I learn the game or can I go ram people as Orks fro mthe start?
Anyone else getting this?
Every time I'm winning enemy ships always manage to escape and most of the time I can't even deal heavy damage to them before that. Lightning strikes fails almost always when I try to stop their. Fuck this shit game.
>>335234586
>Trying to comprehend how that battle would look
It's like one nightmare trying to out compete another nightmare.
Reminder that the Eldar are the master race.
This game is immensely hard even against cpu opponent. Why cant they do anything wrong? Everything they do is perfect compared to me. Silent running, staying away, ramming and using skills. I just can't get good at this game.

All 8 of you?
I cant play this game cause my computer is shit.
Anyone knows where I could watch some competent people play the game?
Is every battle in this game supposed to be so damn hard struggle to beat? I've played 8 hours now and I'm still having really hard time against normal CPU.
>>335233832
You have to get your all dictators into bomber range to fuck their engines. Then you fuck the generator. Dropping a wombocombo of stasis and disruption bomb in their way helps. The AI will usually get around it. Allowing you to further close distance for lightning strike sometimes eldar will fly right into the bombs though since the AI seems to prioritize full holofields
Is the sp gud ?
>>335230794
>>335227198
fuck
>>335237570
Hells yes. I'm loving the sp campaign. And if you just want to fuck shit up you can roll yourself a persistent Adm. Of any faction. Lvl. Them through solo skirmish. And you can even make yourself a custom game too. Although your skirmishers won't lvl. From that.
>>335236035
Nah m8.
The Eldar are shit tier now.
Your opponent needs to be a bloody retard for you to win as the eldar.
>>335228296
0/9000 bait there.
>>335232393
you were doing something terribly wrong anon
orc light cruisers get only 1 option on prow guns and it has terrible range
and with the manouverability of orc ships they cannot catch you without taunt
>>335234942
Yes. So long as you remember orks suck at anything other than point blank range.
(Although iirc 3k is a misnomer since it is actually 300,000 km or some shit. Maybe even 3M km. Which is still ludicrously short range in stellar terms. Once again it's a case of devs-have-no-concept-of-scale that happens in any sci-fi product.

I had set my ship engagement range way too low, so it really was my fault. Only faction I'm having trouble with now is pretty much Chaos too.
