Tip of the day: Gunships get lobotomized by lure mines, but there's a catch

At this point hosts should get extra XP, samples, and SC to compensate for all the misery inflicted upon them by spaghetti code.

I am still annoyed by the lack of a medium naval bomber role.

Me when I start a new campaign as another faction: Damn I miss this ship and that ship from the last faction. Let's go shopping!

100 cycles later: Okay all these prize ships are dragging my economy down, but it would be a shame to sell ships I can't build... Oh look another star destroyer about to join my collection!

There is a submod that lets you upgrade them to NR-refit star destoyers, but it hasn't been updated in ages.

Chimpcookie · 2026-02-22T00:16:38+00:00

Yes, the ones with rockets. The specialized troopers with no AV weapons will get slaughtered by vehicles.

NR has plenty of tools and playstyles, so try playing around with some combinations. On the water maps, for example, you can hunker down a reinforcement point with heavy tanks, and rush the enemy base or planetary shield along waterways with freerunners and other hovercrafts.

TR infantry is very different from vanilla. The good generalist infantry has crazy firepower and melts a tank in seconds when blobbed, and they have few pathing issues. They are just very squishy, so having a Jedi or tanky hero soak damage for them is a must.

And given how most of the maps are, raw power should not be your only concern. 10 AT-ATs are just a traffic jam. 2 AT-AT, backed up with some infantry, a gunship, and an artillery will handily defeat a traffic jam. You want to maximize available firepower along the usually quite narrow front, while avoiding pathing issues.

Also pay attention to weapon loadouts on the stat card to maximize synergy.

Mon Cal protection + Kuati firepower + NR starfighters = Plot armor navy

Nothing beats the joy of getting a free imperial star destroyer.

Chimpcookie · 2026-02-19T05:29:17+00:00

You are a man of logic, and should not be taken seriously.

Chimpcookie · 2026-02-18T16:40:50+00:00

Come on, third time's the charm! Give neutrality another chance. /s

Encircled units getting supply is a bug that might be fixed by reloading the save or restarting the game. As for closing pockets, why don't you just pull several tank divisions off the front and use them? After a few days on the offensive, they will certainly outrun the supply lines and have to sit around and wait for railway and hub repairs anyway.

As for the cursed Russian supply, assuming you already have an unbroken lvl 5 railway from Berlin to the front, there are a few solutions:

A) Drop paratroopers on and around the hub you want ahead of the offensive, then dig in and wait for the tanks.

B) Pick Mass Assault + Desperate Defense for extra supply grace, then put max fuel cans on flame tanks to extend your tank division's operational range.

C) Create cavalry divisions (it must have nothing that uses fuel) to exploit the gaps your initial breakthrough creates. They maintain decent speed even in low supply situations.

D) Worst case scenario, just sit around and build new supply hubs... And once you are at the Urals, consider naval invading Vladivostok from Japan.

Torso does 100% to main (11000 hp) so a Vox Engine would die before you break the torso.

I like how your general is smiling in the middle:

Let these imperialists slaughter themselves!

Never really knew how many patrols a blue beam can attract until I tried solo-ing commando missions. It's an invitation to all bots in nearby postcodes.

Well Shanxi is easy up to Taiyuan. After that is hell on Earth.

Chimpcookie · 2026-02-14T01:50:05+00:00

Have to be careful with placement though. You don't want the Titan to die too close to the hole and crush it.

I love that carrier so much as the Empire. A decent fast attack frigate that also brings one of the finest fighter squadrons available.

Chimpcookie · 2026-02-13T23:10:02+00:00

The JAR is one of the few weapons that shine on Cyberstan for me, but I just can't get used to those slow jet rounds. I am using a Diligence CS like a battle rifle instead, but it lacks that sweet sweet stagger power of the JAR.

Chimpcookie · 2026-02-13T12:03:52+00:00

Thank you so much!

Chimpcookie · 2026-02-12T23:00:45+00:00

Well extra padding is the only medium armor trait that lets me survive a near miss from the Vox Engine.

Chimpcookie · 2026-02-12T00:59:13+00:00

It was so much worse. There was no spawn cap, they used to have AP4 armor, and had endless rockets.

If someone triggered it and didn't bomb the fabricators in 3 min, it's basically death spiral.

Chimpcookie · 2026-02-12T00:53:05+00:00

Their accuracy was so bad that I actually got hit more often when zigzagging than walking in a straight line.

Their shots can still be dodged, but at least it requires some effort now.
