Just flava. We could actually implement it in gameplay, though...

Oh gosh, plugging from a Sanctus.

These questions have surely been answered already in this board or even this thread, but as I do not have the time to read 66 pages:
1) When are we gonna see Shivans again?
2) Will we see some UAF vs. Shivan action then? Because I hope to see a lot more of those Solaris-class destroyers. These things are really awesome.

[General Battuta]

There are no Shivans in BWO.

[Droid803]

Wut?

[General Battuta]

you heard me!

[Jellyfish]

Wut?

A reference to the second post in this thread.

[redsniper]

Oh hot damn, I really asked that as the first question in that thread? Go me.

[Flak]

or is there another mr cuddles?

MOAR DAKKA

[CT27]

A GTVA win. 

[Aesaar]

Actually, it's UEF ships that have more dakka.  GTVA ships are shootier and zzapier, and have all these clever gubbinz.

Great, now I'm imagining WiH if everyone was Orks.

UEF=Tau
GTVA=Imperial Navy

Discuss.

WAAAAGH! Steele

UEF=Tau

Discuss.

more like UEF = Imperial Navy and GTVA = Adeptus Astartes
^{for those who never played Battlefleet Gothic: Imperial Navy fleets are all about hurling wave and wave of torpedos and missiles at your enemy, Astartes aka Speeece Marys have the big lazer guns if my memory serves me right}

[SpardaSon21]

Well, the UEF fight a lot like the Tau: elite attack craft, prow weapons batteries, and Apocalypse torpedoes that are fired in swarms like Tau drone missiles are.

[starbug]

I feel like the UEF is much like the Imperail Navy with all its torpedos, and the GTVA (terrans only) are the adeptus Astartes in that they get the most advanced ships and weapons, ie the Titan and Raynor. Vasudans feel like the Elder and Shivans a mix of Tryanids and Necrons.

I would just like to see more of the epicness of WIH part 1,  with some major WTF and brown trousers time, ie that SOC mission DIVE DIVE pilot, first time i played that it i jumped out of my seat. Need some missions like that. Would also like the UEF to score a couple of victories against the GTVA.

[NGTM-1R]

UEF=Tau
GTVA=Imperial Navy

UEF isn't a terrible comparison, but the lack of forward Lance batteries or equivalent ruins the GTVA comparison.

Instead, perhaps What Lies Within, Fear We to Ask.

I think your fluff got stuck in the year 38000.
Due to the editcs made after the Horus Heresy the Space Marines aren't allowed to have "real" space warships.
Except for the Cobra destroyer (which is very effective in space battles and thus also very controcersion in wether the SMs should be allowed to use them), everything else is fully geared toward forcing a planetary landing and thus not as effective in pure space battles as the Navy or Mechanicus vessels (at least in the backstory.... the game obviously had to make compromises to keep it balanced).

BEAMS! DEATH BY BEAMS! Okay, maybe not. Or death by bees.

One thing I'd like to see from a story POV is if you're forced to take a ship with two or three crewmembers (I.E. the Izra'il, the Uriel, the heavy bombers), that I'd like to see some interaction between the crew. Granted, Laporte's been flying mostly alone in her ship, but what are the odds she may get along with the Weapon Systems Officer or Navigator in the back seat?

From a missions POV, I don't know if someone suggested this, but how about a mission like the second in Vassago's Dirge? Say, you have to take a Lapith and have to strike several minor capital targets across sections in high orbit of Earth and Mars, as in "jump, move fast, blow up targets or drop enough bombs so other strike packages can handle stragglers), jump out, re-load/repair, get to the next target, rinse and repeat," just to demonstrate how efficient precision strike bombing tactics can be. (Unless there was something in the lore description I overlooked regarding how fast the Lapith can recharge subspace drives without a burnout.)

Oh, and another cool thing I'd like to see: the Izra'il in action. Funnily enough after taking it out on a test fly, it feels like the F-15E Strike Eagle (maybe it's just me because of how the fighter looks and operates, or practically it's the only ship I can think of that can scarily do a lot of multi-role action like the GVB Sekhmet).

[Aesaar]

Black_Yoshi1230 hit a good idea.  It would be very nice to have a bit of interaction with the other person in a two seater like the Uriel, Izra'il, or the bombers (assuming we get to fly them).


The only thing I dislike about the Izra'il is that it feels less maneuverable than the Uriel because of the lack or reverse thrust.  The secondary capacity is godly.
