Which is honestly a shame, because admech repeatedly getting owned whenever it catches a whiff of Necron technology was one of my favorite parts of the setting.

A long-range bombardment cruiser that launches lots of strike craft? Name it the Macross with Captain Gloval

The excerpt from the old Necron codex about the armored convoy getting ambushed by Necrons, and the horror of unknown monsters using technology far beyond the imagination of man is what made me fall in love with 40k as a kid. I even liked the boring tomb research logs that always end in "hey, what does this button do?" and then no trace of human existence is left on the planet

That third deployment you got came from leveliing up. Currently your base number of deployements is 2 (you start with one), plus a possible bonus one from the portal worlds.

Obviously the Mars-class should be the Donnager. I won't even be mad if you call it the Macross, but surely you should save that name for the biggest class of carrier?

Remember, Herp has a problem with ramming too much. We need to keep a reminder on the screen at all times. Make it the Stop Ramming Stupid or the Intervention

I bought this game when it was on sale recently because of thist LP and im confused about HerpLPs take on the dominator. He seems to say you should avoid ramming with it because of the canon, but once im in ramming range isnt the canon useless? The ship seems to be a long range and close range ship and sucks at mid range. You shoot at ships that try to keep away with the canon and then try to get close for the strong side guns.

The short range isn't that bad. like 9000 m . So it can coe up that there'll be another opportunity to use it mid-fight.Cythereal posted:Also, the AdMech going gaga for Necrons and getting massacred has been significantly toned down if not completely dropped with the Necron revamp. Now there's nothing super ancient and mysterious about them and they use Warp-based technology in places. The Necrons' whole "doesn't use the Warp at all but are complete masters of material science" thing has fallen by the wayside. Where's the fun in that. The Ad Mech being brain dead when it comes to the Necron tech. But hey, a win's a win. Veloxyll fucked around with this message at 08:39 on Mar 10, 2017 |

I'd recommend if you have to ram using the Dominator it is best to do a sweeping attack and hit them with either the side or rear of the ship. With Micro-Warp Jump you can bring the Nova Cannon to bear again, which you'll see just how devastating it is with two ships capable of such bombardment soon.

If you want a "stop using this to ram things" type name, then calling it the Macross is probably not your best bet. But I will agree with keeping that one in reserve for a bigger ship.
