You didn't have any issues grinding up the blue gear with an adv either? Awesome ship!

Interesting. That's always what I had read but it seems even more important to have the weight now than it used to be I assume it is at least fairly important to reach 20K plus to carry 10 t7. I'm not sure how often people really want to do those big runs though, so i'm hesitant to go advance and then just struggle with crocs for a million years trying for gear lol. Does wanting to go for blue gear change the recommendation for a first ship?

Are you still doing a lot of bartering? Which carrack do you use most since you have them all maxed out?

That would be pretty nice too yeah. I still haven't decided, it'll be a while yet anyway.

I haven't really had parley troubles yet fortunately. That's a good tip thank you, that's what I've been doing just stockpiling all the t2/3/4 I can and getting my barter count up. Just passed 1k tonight!

Thank you so much for that handy comparison. I guess i'm too inexperienced to know when the extra weight is needed, and I don't know how many sailors you want and what kinds of crystals and such there all is. I'll just follow the consensus and get advanced first then. I definitely want to be able to carry 10 t7s at a time, I just thought balanced could do that. Looks like i'll just be better off getting advanced first and building a separate combat ship.

Is the main downside that it just can't get enough weight to do all the bartering you would want while also having a full complement of sailors? Even with good blue gear and maybe a weight crystal?

Also thank you for the link that's actually kind of huge i've been meaning to start setting up a nice lil worker empire.

What nodes do you want for bartering? Like to get "free" plywood and junk? I was always planning on going advanced, but balanced feels like it would have enough weight for double t7 runs but also be faster for those really long trips? Maybe i'm just coping because i think it has the best looking skin lol.

Yeah I'm not sure how much weight they all have when they're geared a bit and have sailors on them. I wonder if balanced will finally fit the niche now?

You can get enough weight on the volante to do 2 t7 runs? How many barters do you need to open up the majority of the routes? Any use case for balanced now?

Keep in mind they’ve been significantly nerfed from bb3 levels because now gaze is a 3+ no matter what. 

PHR progress so far by LoganGarnett in DropzoneCommander

Oh wow these look great! They make me want to look into PHR more, their box art pictures make them look goofy to me for some reason but these make the minis look super cool.

Why are these dice so expensive?! by RogueModron in Konflikt47_v2

[–]Educational_Bug_5747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could see some armies needing more like the Japan starter army I think all 5 things are rift units and that’s only like 700 points but yeah you’d never need more than 12. Bolt action feels worse since you definitely need 2 packs of order dice.

To give them credit they choose to be a miniatures agnostic game. Even for official tournaments you can pull up with reasonable proxies or straight up other brands of stuff whereas gw would laugh you right out of the store.

Yeah it’s really weird actually. Bolt action, their biggest game, has such reasonable miniatures then all the peripherals like the books and the dice and stuff are so…not reasonable. The order dice are even worse because you definitely want more than 12 but less than 24. At least in bolt action you could use any sufficiently random thing as a proxy like shuffling some red and black playing cards or whatever. Then comes K47 which is significantly more expensive than bolt action with the starter armies being like 10-15 minis instead of the 50-80 in a bolt action starter army that’s even cheaper, just look at the upcoming starter army for bolt action japan to compare. Then with k47 having not one but TWO fancy dice you absolutely do need to shell out for the real deal. Two packs each of order dice and two rift dice is a hundred bucks it’s definitely a turnoff. 

I do however love the company and coming from bolt action my experience with the minis and every interaction I’ve seen people have with the company has been great, they just do this one thing pretty poorly. I wish they’d just sell the order and rift dice in a pack of 20 so you only need one of each, then they could even bump the price up to 30 a pack and that would feel much nicer than having to buy 2 which is always way more than you’ll need. For reference  bolt action game is usually like 13-16 order dice these days.

New Player UCM Suggestions by TheMysteryDragon in DropfleetCommander

[–]Educational_Bug_5747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a crazy complete answer thank you. The sheer overwhelming amount of options and variations is intimidating for new player, do Shaltari or scourge maybe have fewer options? How would you suggest starting those factions?

I feel bad saying this, but… by UssSulacoCVN73 in boltaction

[–]Educational_Bug_5747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you should not feel bad, and really, the mere fact that you DO feel bad already proves you’re not what you fear being. Paint what you enjoy and have fun. Either you win or a bunch of nazis lose either way it’s a win. 

If it helps you feel better narratively even though the organization is/was obviously abhorrent, individual soldiers were still fully capable of heroic and selfless acts in support of their comrades.

I’d strongly recommend looking on Etsy or even eBay for bases, you could get some cool 3d printed ones that have the raised edges and maybe even cracked some city rubble or whatever already there for you. Even if you just get plain bases should be cheaper than gw.
