Harvest

[Cambion Mage]

I´d just like to say that the mission on Harvest should be somewhat adjusted. I did win, it wasn´t hard but it took half a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hour and it was not fun, what with the constant ork reinforcement, not to mention that all the stupid corpses started to pile up so much that at the end it tanked my fps down to 30. Did I mention that it was tedious? Like the first mission against the tyranids wasn´t frustrating it was hard, and enjoyable, even though at the third wave I was like ´Mr. Spire we really should disengage what with all the ships being in the red with troops´ but again that was fun. Playing 30 mins against endless waves of orks, is not.

May I ask about your fleet composition?
I really struggle, but I guess bringing two Battleships, a Grandcruiser and a Battlecruiser was not the best idea. Right now I consoder trying it with a Macrocannon spam...

[Captain Chris]

Oh mate, just wait for the next ones.....

[Cr1zz4]

Not helpfull, I managed several challenges, but this one is driving me nuts.
I'll go with sprie in an Emperor and a secondary fleet with Macro cannons.

My issue with orks in general is that their damn Roks "ships" can't be targeted for ♥♥♥♥. All you can hit is weapons which is useless since they have like 24 different points on that one ship. I don't understand why you can't hit their shields, engines or deck like every other ship in the game (excluding Tyranids but they're a special case). I didn't find the mission half bad but two of those mega roks things ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ decimates since you can't gimp them by taking out engines like how you fight pretty much every other ork ship. They are surprisingly fast for being asteroids as well and have pretty damn good range for a faction focused on ramming/close-up.

I think overall they should take a look at some of their story missions. Most of them aren't too bad but they are quite a huge difficulty spike compared to even 3 full fleet on a world battles.

Edit: Also, I think the FPS can tank here because the titans never leave. If you move your camera down so you can see the edges, they never despawn off screen. They just keep going so you end up with around 100+ towards the end.

I guess It´s not that bad looking back now, but still, just the fact that the mission literally took an hour, and I was going with a carrier spam actually, with admech as support, so I actually got a lot of them even with nova cannons. So all in all, I hate ´cheap´ factions, that can literally just spam a million of something (I think it makes for boring gameplay) but as far as actual improvements go, maybe the devs should make them whales despawn, and maybe reduce the ork numbers (just for that mission) by a bit. Again it was not fun, and not even really challenging actually, only to sit for the whole thing, now that was hard.

Spire with an excorcist (well I don´t know how to spell that but the GC carrier) a dictator and an Oberon, with admech as support, all going with dictators. It got the job done don´t get me wrong, but the mission was still 4-5x longer than any other.

[Captain Chris]

My fleet is Spire in a Retribution, an Overlord and a Dictator with a Widowmaker for scouting/spotting.
Secondary fleet is either Ad mech with Battleship, Tyrant and Dictator and spam Nova or 4 SM strike cruisers, 2x MK1 and 2x MK2 and spam boarding.

Didn't find this mission especially hard but it did take a while, just got to boost and keep away from those Roks.
The next one on the other hand........

[Herr Kommissar]

I did that mission with no frustration or difficulty. Just bring a lot of nova cannon and launch bays, sit in a nebula on the right of the map in line formation and wait. Those stupid orks will wander off attacking space whales and only a portion of them come your way. then you blast them to pieces, and wait for the next group of them. If you are lucky to have a nice spot, those whales wont run into your fleet. Once the wreckage block too much of your shots, just relocate.

Killed da Orkz just fine. I play on slow so took an hour+, maybe hour and 1/2.

Lost a badly damaged ship that warped out with low troops and so the game killed my Tyrant. This makes the 2nd ship I have lost in the IM campaign. (1st was a light cruiser that died when I killed my first Base Defense station. It blew up along when the station went kaboom! That was back when I only had cruisers max.)

[Galactic Origins]

I dont carrier spam. yuck. Or nova spam.

my Spire fleet at lvl 10:
Vengeance GC
Mars BC
Armageddon BC

AM support:
AM BS
Tyrant
Tyrant (reserve)

[Galactic Origins]

I guess I macro spam :)

[Dathek]

I havent enjoyed many of the mission as of late. is it only three waves? This mission isnt fun. NONE of the repeat spam wave missions are fun. They outright suck. The tyranid ancirnt one is crap too its like idiots that have ZERO concept of what a fun mission is designed the story based ones.

With the new patch you can bring 3 fleets, retreat and bring in fresh ships, so it's just a big battle that people have been asking for.

i personally never asked for bigger battles, but i am damn sure that they want all ships on the map at the same time, not one wave after another, when they talk about bigger battles.

[Kaiafas Kain]

After space Titan hunters, it's a very simple, long and uninteresting mission.
