BattleFleet Gothic: DO NOT TRUST ALFRID LICKSPITTLE edition

It's bugged sometime so when it happens select the ship and push the "r" button.

>all lost in the warp
such great game design

Select your ship and press r. Check the controls in options if that doesn't work.

GET SOME SQUIGZ YA GIT!

Ork ships literally can't execute a captain and have worse morale than the ships of other races. You have to buy an upgrade on each individual line ship to be able to prevent them from warping out.

Orkz require an upgrade to stop their ships from peacing out

>getting called a coward by an eldar player for sitting in a nebula because I don't want to play pulsar tag

Yeah nah, go fuck yourself.

Why are nebula so comfy?
I like to just sit on them during battles and force the enemy to come to me, thanks to my upgraded swords their torpedo spam is useless too.

Eldar are the least fun faction to play as/against. The only announced faction i can imagine being as faggy are the tau

Gas clouds aren't an issue if people took the stationary/attachable probe. I think it's mandatory for most ships to take.

Tau are faggy by default, even more so than the Spehs Elfs

Fortunately they didn't have that or I would've warped put immediately rather than minutes later. No idea what to do against pulsar/retreat other than hide behind shit and warp out in frustration.

Folks tend to forget its usefulness and over glorify the moving one.

...

Got called a pussy for warping out my 2 rank 3 dauntless's rather than fighting a retribution class battleship and his ally.

Just rewatched the video for the Battle of Marr-Ardetta, had an idea for Vice Admiral Drawfag.

Spire, Ravensburg and Horst doing the "Toast to Democracy/the Imperium" for a BAD END for the campaign

>ork v ork
>glorious shit talking as the two fleets approach each other
>finally in engagement range, enemy orks all hit the BRB in a mass charge
>somehow I dodge them all and start attacking their afts
>your opponent has capitulated
set gitfoinderz to panzey

I can provide a pick for you guys.

If only they'd actually given other factions less shitty tools to deal with them.

IE reasonable detection ranges and cooldowns on the abilities that are useful against them less than three fucking minutes. Nerfing nova cannons and traktor kannons into oblivion didn't help either. Neither does not having enough ship slots available to reasonably accommodate fleet tailoring.

I don't think it's actually a case of Eldar ships being particularly overpowered, because they're frankly not, they have to fly straight at you to do anything and die pretty much immediately when you apply damage to them.

The just nerfed the things you can use to apply damage to them so badly that it requires hyper-specialized ships to be able to do squat and specializing fucks you against everyone else because you can't actually have an alternate fleet composition because of the finite ship slots.

>All this LoGH love.

You guys really are the best.

What's LoGH? It looks pretty cool, I may have to give it a watch

Legend of Galactic Heroes

Sorta a Jap Sci-Fi War and Peace.

Legend of the galactic heroes.

>whenever I use Dauntlesses they get their shit kicked in before I can even broadside
>whenever I'm up against Dauntlesses they wreck me

Just tried playing as the Eldar and got decisively stomped.

How do I go about honing my VOID COMBAT STRATEGY?

I'd like an answer for that too.

>Convoy mission with Aifrid as an ally
He actually used the transport ships as a shield for his ships and then yelled at me when we lost.

Damn, I didn't know LoGH was particularly bloody. I watched some of it and don't remember any visceral deaths like that. Guess I just didn't get far enough.

>Tfw I've never played with or against Alfrid.

I want to know if the stories are true

>Convoy defender
>Breakthrough defender

You must be doing it pretty wrong. Even shit tier eldar players can usually convince people to ragequit just by shooting their pulses a few times.

>Literally any gamemode that's not cruiser clash

Excellent, thank you

He's like the opposite of /v/'s gregor character. He's real check out the forums. Unfortunately you can't miss his autistic rants.

9k lance upgrade and circle around their rears using the speed upgrade.

I've done that and it feels like they're doing no damage.

Can you paint your ships?

They don't do a lot. Its more the sustained damage thing an extra boarding actions vs taking a smaller number of larger ships. They were better in the beta with the crit chance upgrade.

Is the Lockon with the 300% crit thing good. I seen someone yesterday say it's not there anymore but I have it.

As IN? How? It got replaced by short burn torps. Yeah if you have it take it.

No with Chaos.

I'm retarded, what exactly happens when you execute a captain? Do you lose your crew or anything like that?

Oh in that case depends on the ship. For lance boats you generally want +25% maneuver gauge, +3k lance range, +camo duration(if tzeentch), +shield damage. But you could fit extra crit chance in there. Note it's more effective the more lance attacks a ship does and doesn't care about the damage of the attack.

Automatic crit.

I enjoyed it up until the point I could no longer stand the

"I'm tired of losing this space battle, I have now won the space battle"

I also found the rebel guy to be very unlikeable

So if I use thrusters when in running silent mode I remain a blip, right?

>Doesn't like Yang

Never tried

If you're Eldar yes, every other race no. But there is an upgrade for it.

It's not.

There's a few scenes during large battles that pretty much exist to illustrate the immense amount of horror experienced by people involved in warfare.

>Yang
>Unlikeable

What a bunch of casuals. Rise to the challenge. Inb4 "but that's impossible"

Can't stop a light cruiser from 1 shotting a transport on a ram. I've never lost a convoy attack with a light cruiser going around the main skirmish and just ramming the shit out of the transports.

There's no reason why he should have done that. He could just blind fire his pulsars into the could and kill your shit anyway.

Misdirection, mass escorts, and the usual stasis/taunt stuff you use vs eldar.

Anyone have a link to the campaign an user was running? Dont have it bookmarked on my home computer, and it's not in the OP.

Your ship is prevented from escaping, but you get the Mutiny debuff as a result, lowering ship performance all across the board.

It's so glorious. ;_;

Those flying panties on the top left seems a tad too rigid, though.

Thanks a bunch.

I think Spire should have a bigger presence in the picture. I know that might require you to re-compose and redraw the whole thing, but that's up to you if you want to do so. Though it is quite funny as is.

This happened because during the alpha and beta players complained about basically every skill and weapon being too powerful and demanded nerfs. Nova cannons, tractor cannons and taunt specifically. Also the ability of orks to purchase a +50 speed upgrade.

Beta and alpha players posting bad opinions on the official forums are the reason why you don't have useful ways of dealing with eldar.

Something weird just happened in campaign mode, I got negative renown. Somehow I ended up with more than -350 bonus renown, is this a bug or is it intentional?

>Alfrid is at it again.
Does he ever sleep?

>tfw I'm missing his antics cause multiplayer won't work for me

I miss the beta

Don't worry you can find him autistically ranting on the steam forums. I actually think he got banned from the official forums at the games site or for some dumb reason he sits there on steam to argue with like the same 5 people.

is there any way I can edit the time limit on assassination missions?

Unusual. In most cases I've seen character hate directed at Julian.

where can I even find LoGH?

Seems like none of my usual sites have episodes

People upload them to Youtube every now and then. They get taken down but eventually someone puts them up again.

nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=622674
nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=772077

They're trying to impress Spire with their fleet coordination skills.

You pay for the damage your allies ships take.

>my usual sites
>didn't look for a torrent on literally any site

>They extended the dmg field of all the asteroid fields.

They are fucking disgustingly large now. Like the circle is WAYYYYY outside of even the rock animations. You could be in the dmg radius and not even know it.

Advanced info display playa.

This is so useful that I'm not sure why it's not even on by default.

I guess so people can have their space battles look good.

FYI, those are under the non-english translated anime category.

pig disgusting

How should I equip my Slaughter?

I'm tempted to make that game. 2d bfg style with less skills and more ships. Shit art because performance.

Too bad I have no knowledge or motivation.

With a space dildo

Alright Slanesh favor, what about upgrades and skills?
