necron carrier fleets overpowered

[Bianconi]

anyone that plays against the necrons exept the dark eldar knows they are op you just can't win against them. maybe I am a noob and don't know what im talking about, but I think a nerf in the necron fighters is long overdue.

dafuq you mean? necron fighters are pretty weak. yes they can harass undefended ships pretty well but fighters and wipe them out easily. and as far as i know, there's only one effective necron fleet make up.

Necron fighters are near the bottom if not the absolute bottom of the barrel in terms of how effective they are.

Actually I see your point and I might agree. I've met with a fair bit of success terrorizing people with a 3-Scourge fleet. This is not an exaggeration, it's probably my favorite cheezy fleet build. It has serious weaknesses of course but you need to know the counters - the amount of hull damage when you stack all those squadrons is pretty intimidating and I've freaked people out with it before.

As long as you don't use it against other Necrons a Necron carrier fleet can be genuinely OP. People don't seem to know what to do to counter strikecraft.

Feel free to disagree, but remember that people have differing perspectives on what works. :)

While trying to use turrets to counter them might be a bit too late if they are on an attack run, what is stopping people from using their own fighters to counter Doom Scythes?

[�[Dire_Venom]�]

Necron Scythe fighters are identical to Imperials except they get 7 fighters per squad rather than 6 (and dealbhull damage)
They deal up to 0.3 hull damage per boat/second.
that makes each line ship brings 2.1dps of fighters (with the carrier bringing 5 for 10.5 hull/sec).
Like carrier orks they are clunky and will lose to a group of braced ships, but can output a lot of damage given the righr circumstance.

Not god tier, but not terrible either :)

eyes, brain and two fist necron fleet build is OP.

[Solaire]

The Scourges make big sacrifices. They have terrible weaponry, meaning they will lose any brawl and they also don't have starpulse, one of the best abilities in the game.

I no longer like the swarm of scarabs. The ability ignores armor and shields. I think it is worth balancing.
