Imperial Campaign - Kill tyranid hive ship objective
Hi,
in Imperial campaign I have an objective "kill the hive ship" in order to pinpoint the Tyranid mothership/acient one location.


If I understand it correctly it will appear in one of spawmed tyrannid invasion fleets.


Question:
I prefere to auto-resolve battles that I can easily win - will this count to that campaign objective if I auto-resolve kill spawned tyranid fleet? currently I auto-resolve killed 3 x 1800 (which are invasion of 3 x 600 fleets) point Tyrannid invasions, but I still haven't met the objective.

It is crap that I cannot see what is the composition of hostile fleet.
Can can continue auto-resolve, or do I need to kill hive ship in actual player-controlled battle?

I have had that quest flagged as completed, but I have always played out those anti-nid battles... I take too much damage otherwise...

Just play through a battle or two, it's the fun bit of the game :)

Hiveships are the Nid Battleships, also if you want to cheese the nid invasions grab as many nova cannons as you can and buy defensive turrets where they're about to attack. Nid AI will bumrush the turrets so you can murder them safely with nova spam since they don't dodge nova.

And nid ships can be very stupid when AI controlled. If you focused fire on their Great Claw weapons and remove their immunity to frontal damage, just going Brace For Impact can win you the whole battle when all their lower ranking ships simply ram themselves to death.

Think of it from the Ai's PoV that ship is now almost useless since it's main weapon is gone. Might as well sqeeze a bit more damage out of it with rams to make space on the board for more reinforcement ships
