Those simply determine what weapons the game tries to assign to your troops when you promote/train them into certain roles. The starting advantages are mostly armor and spare equipment.

tick individual ships and move them to other places to split them off the fleet, or create splinter fleet.

Do it. What's the worst that can happen?

>>33998712
>and then choose a ship
What if no ship comes up? Is it because I don't have any battle barges?

For the next build, consider adding a button to select all units in a company, makes loading way easier

>>33998680

nothing special, orks eliminated but little of note.

QUESTION: how do I get new ships?

>>33998584
Do it.

they have a meter. The longer you go without doing pentitent...things, the lower it goes. if it bottoms out, you're excommunicatus tratorus or whatever that faux latin is

Far bottom right- click 'Selection Size', that selects everything able or unselects everything.

>>33998754
I totally forgot to let people construct new ships.

>>33998746
If you don't have any ships at your home-planet then you cannot load to them.

>>33998766
UI needs to be rebuilt entirely. The Fleet Advisor UI isn't programmed at the moment.

>I totally forgot to let people construct new ships.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I have no escorts and three battleships.

Well shit

Why not just divide the Companies into 5-man/10-man squads, and let us customize them through squads as well as load/unload as squads? It would be a lot easier.

Yes, this post, this whole thread even, is a gem.

>>33997206
Shit, how do I explore ruins?

How do I make my ships, now loaded, take my marines to fight orks?

I spent a bunch of requisition to buy chainswords then the imperium killed me.

>>33998952
Did you unload marines down to the planet? It's possible there's nothing worth exploring?

So how do I do anything but drop pod assault?

>>33998982
I did unload them! Nothing happened, no options appeared.

>>33998996
In theory, unload marines onto occupied planet. in practice that crashes the game

>>33998962
left click the ships, then right click on the system where there are orks.

>>33998952
Ruins don't really do anything yet.

>>33998962
Move to place with Orks. Select star. Raid.

>>33998996
Unload your marines onto a planet with Orks, no guard, and no pdf. It's fun, trust me.

>>33999062
>load marines into ships

>>33999048
>Bonerfart
Judging by your taste in vidja games, the latter.

>>33999086
Because I don't think it lets you pick up artifacts with a drop pod assault.

>>33999086
Thunderhawks exist.

>>33999095
Is there a faster way to load marines onto ships other than clicking them one at a time?

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING. IT IS A GLORIOUS FEELING!

Haven't had a chance to try it out myself but I spotted a typo. It's "Emperor's Nightmare" not Nightmares. You call them Nightmares if you're talking about a group of marines, but the organization isn't pluralized. Like how no one says "Raven Guards".

Nice to see /tg/ get shit done, I never lost faith.

Crash report. Tried loading up a file I just saved, and the load bar got stuck at 'Preparing' before crashing

yes, there's a button that says somethign like Selected Strength. Should go up as you select units. clicking it will select all/deselect all. note that it's a bit strange, and cna leave the last unit in the group unselected

>>33999323
It just means they aren't hitting you? Also, look at those dreadnaughts go.

>>33999323
If they don't have eligible targets (I.e. your dreads or vehicles are in the way) then they do not attack.

>Formations
That looks interesting...

>>33999262
Duke is /tg/.
Stop with this shit.

>>33999304
What makes a target eligible? And I shouldn't be able to cleanse an entire system with moderate to extreme ork presence on all worlds without them finding a target.

can I play this on mac somehow?

>>33999351
Some sort of feedback to let you know when this is happening and why would be a good thing to add later

>Bongistan 1 has been overrun by orks
Would that be an improvement?

>>33999361
Weapons have a few stats, among them Attack Damage and Armor Penetration. Depending on those numbers they will prioritize certain units. There's been a bug I've tried to fix several times where the Orks do not attack if your front rank is made up of vehicles.

If your front rank is made up of dreads or vehicles, and there are enough of them, they block enemy line of sight to the previous ranks.

>>33999379
Yep.

>>33999373
Killing yourself is the first step

>>33999359
Fuck you. /tg/ didn't put any effort into this. That's why it was a joke that everybody was sure would never happen. Duke is the one who made it and he deserves to have his pseudonym attached to it.

What exactly am I supposed to do when I discover an STC Fragment? Don't know much beyond the basics of 40k lore, isn't it part of an AI?

>>33999373
you could probably run it in a wineskin wrapper, I've just been too lazy to try.

>>33999414
Nothing yet. I need to finish that.

>>33999403
How do I know who's in the front ranks? The formation buttons don't work and there's no graphics for the battle.

>>33999414
>isn't it part of an AI?
No. An STC is just a ton of template information to be used by forge worlds (factories) to make stuff. These are a big deal because the world was way higher tech 20,000 years ago.

That is not "any key"

Speaking of which, is there a list of hotkeys?

>>33999432
>How do I know who's in the front ranks?
You don't. For the most part your heavier units are in front and scouts and devastators in back.

Formation UI will be added later during Alpha, which should clear that up.

>>33999451
Ah, interesting.

>>33999456
>Speaking of which, is there a list of hotkeys?
Not yet. I could write one.

>>33999458
Speaking of formations, just wanted to say the space battles are really lovely, even if they are automated.

Should be displayed at the top left. If you don't see a 'YOU ARE THIS PENITENT' thing in red text then you actually aren't. To no longer be penitent you have to kill a lot of shit, or lose a lot of marines. Alternatively if you are penitent for long enough, without losing, it just gets rid of it.
