Lots of ideas, almost all of them ones Duke's already thought of. The foremost of which involves making my Assault Marines useful, since my Vehicles and Dreadnoughts are usually in front of them...Also finding something to give my Tactical Marines and Scout other than Chainswords so I don't have a bajillion of the things lying around.
I've noticed Sieged tends to be more of a benefit than a detriment in my experience, though that's because I farm Gene-Seed like my Barge is an Agri-World. That said, no matter how much Geneseed you have, when you screw up and have approximately 100 marines left, trying to accomplish anything is still stupendously difficult.
That, and trying to fit all my marines onto my ships when I'm fleet-based requires a rather large amount of shuffling vehicles around.
I do find it unnerving how fast I was losing Psykers when I had Psyker Abundance, Warp-Touched, and Daemon Binders turned on, even with Psychic Hoods on every single psyker. It felt like I lost a Lexicanum every second battle. And then I lost everything not a full Librarian when I shoved them into an escort so I could avoid deploying them sometimes, and then I fought Orks in space.
Anyone considered starting a wiki for Chapter Master stuff? I would be willing to try and contribute, however futile and crappy I would be. Hell, if I had the knowledge or the time, I'd be willing to try and help code it.
Sidenote: Boarding should be fun, once it's implemented. Hopefully it'll let us steal Xeno/Chaos/Imperium ships(you know, if you've fallen to Chaos or something), and either scuttle them, ram them into planets and/or other ships, or just use them as our own.
Would allow me to play my Tau chapter even more deludedly.
Very fun, by the way, Duke, many thanks for working on this.
