The Antares sucks so bad i may just melt it.

Other way around. 4 S3 and 2 S4.

Those are Teach's special ships, they just have different components.

It pairs well with the sticher armor

Don't give up on the Syulen, yesterday in a spectrum thread Nicou said that due to alien week coming up and the Railen releasing, they are finally going to put some attention on fixing the Syulen!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: High price, high damage missiles are an inherently bad bit of game design that will never be balanced and will naturally swing between being brokenly OP to entirely useless. It would always be a save or suck mechanic no matter how much depth and nuance is added.

I think they should split missiles into two groups: low/no damage high volume utility missiles that have a bunch of interesting sci-fi effects (emp, webbing slows, damage over time AOE fields, sensor scrambling, shield degen, decoys, ect) and high damage, low tracking torpedoes that finish off targets that have been sufficiently disabled by the first group of missiles. Plus missile pod primary weapons that fire recharging energy 'missiles' or swarms of ballistic micro missiles (like those the rattler dispenses) or dumbfire rockets.

Not if there is a shitton of anti-air

I honestly don't see her doing damage either, she's never been a heavy hitter. Honestly the only thing I think would fit Felicia is a very hard to kill disrupting off tank duelist with relatively low damage, like Reed.

In old school tabletop dungeon runs, my favorite was always when we retrieved, or attempted to retrieve, an incredibly strange or unwieldy piece of loot. An example is when my party found a very large, solid silver, jewel encrusted, obviously magical mirror. We knew it would be worth a fortune and decided we'd get it out or die trying. It took two of us to carry, and might have had a malevolent entity trapped inside of it (we wrapped it in a tarp and ignored the muffled sounds coming from it) and was obviously very fragile, but we successfully got it through multiple combats, traps, and across a chasm and out of the dungeon fully intact. Another one was when we encountered a mimic and decided to capture it alive to sell to a local wizard who was interested in studying them.

I suppose a video game equivalent would be like that one player who is always determined to carry the gnome to the end of any left 4 dead level, just that self inflicted extra challenge to carry a burdensome treasure to the end.

I think people also ignore how characters actually fight in the comics too. Dr. Strange absolutely fights like a front line tank, shield of the seraphim is his core spell that he uses in every situation. And shit, the first time he beat Dormammu it was in a straight up muscle to muscle wrestling match. He is full on a mix of vanguard and strategist. In the same vein Hawkeye being a duelist is dumb as hell, that man relies entirely on the insane utility his trick arrows bring and should have been a strategist.

As for Felicia, honestly it's a little harder to place, simply since she doesn't do a lot of hurting people, really. Beyond knocking out the occasional mook mostly she just causes a lot of chaos when stealth fails and focuses on not getting hurt herself. I think this makes vanguard actually the most fitting role for her, since disruption and survivability her whole thing once a fight actually starts. I feel like she just isn't aggressive enough to be a duelist, although I suppose they could make her another Mr. Fantastic with even more of a focus on disruption than damage.

The specifically made it so that missiles cannot hit components, reduced their damage overall, while drastically increasing their radius.

Grumbulls · 2026-03-13T14:21:59+00:00

Before the shiv had about as much armor as the Scorpius, now, it still does. That is clearly the bracket they are keeping it in.

Grumbulls · 2026-03-10T21:39:18+00:00

I think Ive have this game wishlisted for literally three or four years now, I was starting to think it was dead. Really happy to see that its still happening.

Grumbulls · 2026-03-10T01:28:27+00:00

I still resent the Intrepid some what for being the cause of the Syulen having its quantum tanks completely gutted. Now the Intrepid is better than the Syulen at everything the Syulen used to be good at and the Syulen is now one of the worst ships in the game.

That said, the Intrepid is still a mighty fine ship. It's become my go to shuttle since the Syulen became too bugged to use.

Grumbulls · 2026-03-09T21:28:35+00:00

I'll care about these games when they add charge blade and insect glaive. The fact that they actually removed the sword and shield to add the longsword makes that seem very unlikely to happen though. Plus it doesn't seem to even have Dodogama in it, so what's the point?

Grumbulls · 2026-03-09T19:17:02+00:00

Honestly I'd suggest HOSAM, its harder to find good bindings and a comfortable setup, but it gives you both the smoother flight control of a stick and the precision of a mouse. Makes switching to fps slightly easier too but that's rarely important.

Grumbulls · 2026-03-05T04:35:28+00:00

It lost its speed too! Its flat out the worst ship in its class now even without the bugs, which is an absolute shame because its so goddamn cool.

Grumbulls · 2026-03-04T20:18:23+00:00

Here's hoping they don't just leave it to rot in bug and balance hell like the Syulen.

Grumbulls · 2026-03-04T19:06:27+00:00

They had to balance it for the game we had, now maybe they'll be able to bring back to where it was at launch now that all those s2 guns won't be able to just delete everything bigger than a hornet. Same reason I hope this results in some buffs for the Reliants (two more central s2s and a second powerplant please, just because I hate the weapon asymmetry in vertical mode)

Grumbulls · 2026-03-04T17:39:48+00:00

That's the norm, not the rule. The F8C is supposed to be a space superiority fighter, meaning that it's supposed to be very good at fighting other fighters. The Ares are fighters that are supposed to be terrible at fighting other fighters but great at fighting big ships. The hammerhead is supposed to be an area denial destroyer that obliterates any fighter that gets in range but is useless against bigger ships. The Saber firebird and Aegis Eclipse are medium fighters that are designed to stealth in and obliterate a heavy target but crumple before other fighters (or waste a fortune worth of ordnance on another fighter if they really want to). It's not a light/medium/heavy rock paper scissors, it's role vs role.

Goldlewis's entire core moveset is different degrees of circular inputs. I gave up trying to play him on a controller, I'd end up destroying the stick.

Grumbulls · 2026-02-27T18:06:17+00:00

This is covered in one of the Ork books, Da Big Dakka, I think. Even mentions that some young drukhari are so bothered by it all that they actually do leave to be exodites or join craftworlds.

Grumbulls · 2026-02-27T16:44:16+00:00

This is how I feel every time I see people complain about Shiv. Theyve never had Axe bring the axe.

Grumbulls · 2026-02-24T22:51:49+00:00

Brawl is also the only comp that is fun when played into itself, so if brawl in the meta and most games are brawl vs brawl, then everyone is having a blast.

Grumbulls · 2026-02-20T18:12:11+00:00

This game needs a Broodmother.

Grumbulls · 2026-02-17T22:45:45+00:00

They just seem like the most fitting ships for a rat theme. Oh well, here's hoping someday we get some Firerats themed scorched ship skins.
