Bigger is not better. At some point building bigger and bigger ships simply doesn't make any sense. You limit your tactical and strategical options greatly when you build one big ship instead of multiple small ships. That applies to Shivans just as well as it does to GTVA, or even present day Navy.

[General Battuta]

You can see some hints about the Shivans hidden in AoA.

I suppose if you were really bold you could try to translate some of them into ideas about how we'll be keeping the Shivans scary.

By the way, there are Tev missions lying about Dragon.

[Dilmah G]

Indeed. You might extrapolate from the dossiers that the GTVA has been largely moving towards a "Light Assault" force composition in some areas. It's not that balance is the key, in my opinion (which also isn't to say that balance is not important), but with a streamlined, fast-moving force, there are many tactics you can pull in order to lure the enemy, in my experience.

[Dilmah G]

Dude, how did life come into this?

Anyway, regardless of what you said, I believe if you deal the "Light Assault" hand right, you can put up a damn good fight.

[-Norbert-]

Will they be in the release once it comes, to be played from the Techroom?

[Spoon]

In terms of job finding, it's a lot easier to be really good in one thing and get a job in that aspect then to be only average in a lot of things.

Also, bigger is better works for the Orkz and we all know how much Dakka they bring to the field 

[Dilmah G]

I assume so, as long as Darius/Battuta don't have any issues.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

The point is that they saturate the GTVA's point defense. You can't shoot down all 33 warheads, even if a few hit it's still better than none hitting.

INFR1 can teach you so much.

Spoiler:

Were both the Hell Storm and Hell Storm X swarm warheads too?

[-Norbert-]

Wasn't one the normal and the other the swarm variant? I think Hellstorm were the normal "cyclops repalcements" and the X was the swarm variant.

[Black Wolf]

I would mention that [V] has said that FS3 wouldhave had "Planet sized ships" implying that for the Shivans bigger, while perhaps not better, seems inevitable, but that'd only annoy people.

So I wont

And Dawn of Sol.
Seriously, six wings of four Saracens with all three banks dedicated to swarming Firestorms in the field at the same time...not to mention they have eight waves each...should be illegal.

[Snail]

That sounds downright boring.



Rest assured, there will be no tedious respawning waves in WiH.

If the BP3 character is a "sensitive" I bet any money there will be Transcend-type moments.

[Colonol Dekker]

Is the battle of Neptune going to feature?

[Fury]

In WiH campaign? No, it takes place before the campaign. Dilmah's mission however, will be quite likely included with BP2.

Max, important thing to note:

Just because something appears in two different campaigns does not mean one copied the other.  Just because someone somewhere had an idea does not mean the same idea from a different person is copying.
