When dealing with space stations, I usually like to leave those for last after eliminating most, if not all of the opposing fleet. If you can take out the fleets' flagships, the rest of them will rout pretty quickly, although not immediately. Never use auto-resolve when the enemy's fleet power grossly outnumbers yours you'll lose too many ships. Nova spam works quite well against Orks in campaign their ships are slow and suffer from poor morale. With a bit of practice you should do it pretty easily, if the threat level trick doesnt work rush in ignoring the platforms (theyre almost irrelevant, with their only weapon) and kill the space station (thats quite hard hitting) and then you gotta use some ships to kite the whole ork fleet around, while the main force (hidden in a nebula and just rotating on their axis makes it much easier) hammers them down If you get a cruiser clash mission, the space station and the platforms will be all in the same position. When you kill enought ships, if youve had enought control points for enought time, you should just in by points, and the enemy remaining fleets will just vanish focus the subsystems to damage shields and engines, so they cant boost around anymore.Ī lance heavy fleet (longer range and always precise) with a decent escort complement should do the trick. The computer will always tend to prioritize the control points over killing you. Then use the main fleet to slowly kill off the orks, while a small force of escorts (two or three ALWAYS on "running silent" order) keeps capping all of the control points as soon as they leave them and theyre out of sensor range.

if you have enought novas or hard hitting ships, you could even try to tackle the space station too, to free the last control point, and free even more room to maneuver. Theyre much easier to kill and theyll give more room to maneuver. If the mission is a control point one, concentrate and rush the platforms, and ignore the space station. let it rise to at least two, and they shall start attacking outwardītw, with a little practice you should be able to beat three fleets with two of yours. If the orks (and its the same for every faction) threat level is too low, they dont move. Other ideas to break doomstacks? I am aware that sending in 6 fleets on autobattle is very inefficient, but after the Nova Cannon debacle, I could care less about losing a fleet or 3 on an AI citadel system. Or a starve out mechanic that makes them lose power if you surround a system long enough? They never attack any of the other 4 undefended systems.Ĭan't we have a (Adeptus Astartes) sabotage function on the campain map to break minefields, platforms and stations? This can even cost a lot of time and money to balance it (4 turns to break 3 layers of defence at 800 credits or something). But these Orks are the laziest, teef- and loot-abhorring bastards ever. Other factions agressively invade bordering systems, that way they at least give up on 400-800 power in a controlled system for a turn or two.
Result: I lost 4500 fleetpower and six fleets, they lost 600 fleetpower out of 3000 (and will most likely just repair that next turn). They arrived at their destination just fine, didn't they?Īlright, new stupid plan: send in 6 fleets (2 at a time, grumble, grumble) to see if I can autobattle their ludicrous power down. I think that safely retreating to the edge of the map should hold no risks at all to experience 4 ships. I've not made them do an emergency jump (if this would cause large warp risks, I can understand, you don't go through hell unprepared and expect to come back).
And I lose half of those (experience 4!) ships just for "retreating through the warp" (even though they are supposedly less susceptible to warp risks at high experience), which is also odd, because I let these ships safely go to the edge of the map. I can't break through that, I've even send in 2 experienced Admech fleets to Nova Cannon their defences (which worked), buuut. Which means I can send in just shy of 1500 fleetpower (renown 9 currently) to their combined fleetpower of 3000. This is because they have built mines (so i can only send in 2 fleets, and they can happily sit on 3 fleets), defence platforms, a space station AND 3 fleets worth 800 power each.(Seriously, this place feels more of a Fortress World than Cadia.) I'm currently unable to defeat the Orks holding Odissar in the Medusa Cluster. I'll go over the one that irks me the most currently: Passive AI Doomstacks So I'm currently going through the imperial campain (medium difficulty), and i'm really liking it so far, but there are some things wich could use more options.
