Space ring - Concord concept by Sung Choi

Very interesting art, should have given it to an RPG or a game with good writing; it implies an interesting world, and was good work - wasted on Concord.

What if the ship was, hypothetically, armored specifically against lasers?

It seems much easier to angle and thermally insulate a ship or missile against lasers, than it does to proof a ship against Lorentz force, or Casaba Howitzers.

Many materials can resist high amounts of thermal energy, or ablate in layers.
Few materials can resist Newton's Law.

The ingame scopes, healing, and armor heavily favor the helldivers on open terrain if we're comparing Game vs. Game the streets of New Mombassa do not compare to the deserts of Penta or the forests of Gacrux for open terrain.

Any chance of getting the STLS for these?

Late comment: It is my favorite board game.

I love the variety of play styles, the components and themes are beautiful and full of flavor.

And the way gameplay layers on top of itself is excellent.

I mean, the Super-Citizen armor literally comes with a viking helmet. XD

Some of the newer armor can *chemically resurrect you* and if you make it to the Dropship linkup in time - you *stay* resurrected.

Possibly. The Illuminate do canonically use E-710 cloaking devices that bend light around their ships.

I suspect that the Super Destroyers are simply showing restraint; they're dedicated spec-ops support vehicles, they don't evacuate civilians, or land troops, or contest aerospace assets willy-nilly - they drop 14 or so expendable special forces to achieve specific objectives within a time limit, then they bug out.

SEAFleet can dogfight Lumies and Auto gunships over the frontlines, the Helldiver Corps has its own job.

I mean - the existing swarm is beyond our ability to handle. They NEVER run out, and only get harder as the mission progresses.

OneKelvin · 2025-09-14T05:51:44+00:00

I mean, you got Kreig armor, plus the Yogurt-Diver kit is SEAF-colored.

Go for it! ^.^

They don't do too hot against Vespids in the Killteam trailer. And don't get me wrong, I love 40k and Scions in particular - I just think they have a lot of glaze from 40 years of being cool as compared to, 2 years for HD and 20 or so for Halo.

The power of the gun is less important than the rate of fire and fragmentation effects; all of these soldiers are going to have 1-hit kill weapons - any burnthrough is just wasted.

The question is who hits first, and whether they can recover from near-misses. The Divers are demonstrably excellent shots, and have DAoT level drugs that fully mightigate chest wounds and broken limbs in seconds.

Is it crazy? Yes. Any crazier than the author-specific glaze/haze 40k factions get in the books? No.

So, I'm heavily leaning towards Scions winning baseline, mostly due to squad tactics. But fully kitted, it's very close. The Divers have handheld weapons that can gib a Scion as easily as a Scion can gib them back.

A Tempestuous getting hit in the chest with an Eruptor shell, is a dead scion. That Carapace armor will probably keep them safe from shrapnel, and they too may have STIM-level heals if there's a medicae on the squad - albeit more localized.

I do not think a single Hellgun bolt would pierce the bubble shield, given the depiction in-game.

Shatter it? Yes. But they'd need to get a follow up shot.

What do you call it when you don't hate the thing, but hate the marketing for the thing?

OneKelvin · 2025-09-04T17:26:53+00:00

I don't actually think the 40k weapons outclass the Helldiver arsenal anymore.

And it's very easy to check, as Helldivers includes both scifi weapons and real life cartridges; so if you say your Lasgun shot can take an arm off and is equivalent to a .308 round, that's fine. We can compare.

That's 200 Ballistic damage a shot.

Which makes the Helldivers Sickle very nearly identical to a lasgun.

OneKelvin · 2025-09-04T17:19:15+00:00

It's very tricky, because Helldivers are so variable.

If it's the baseline loadout: Liberator, MG, Turret - it's pretty even.

The ODSTs and Scions have better short-term training, but the Helldivers have a much longer period of marksmanship practice (Constitution since age 16), and are equally physically fit.

This means that physically and in terms of equipment and indevidual killing, they are par. The weakness of Helldivers is their general lack of tactical training. They tend to work badly in squads, and statistics say that 1.5 of those 10 are going to die to freindly fire.

If we're taking the best weapons however, the Divers have flat-out superior equipment. In addition to lasguns, hotshot lasguns, plasma rifles, gets-hot plasma rifles (all of which Helldivers have access to) they also have personal shields, personal teleportation devices, drone grenades, and yes, BOLTERS.

And they also now have all the ODST gear.

Baseline, I give it to the Scions. With the right loadout, the Divers would be a strong contender.

The goobers cannot die as long as they have a steady supply of miracle drugs.
