BFG:R Battlefleet Corribra

[Mallich]

The Excellent Pilots upgrade is a nice idea, I'm not sure I'd want it as standard on every carrier though.

In regular BFG, giving an Ork ship a warlord unlocks various upgrade options - allowing you to purchase "Mad Meks" or "Looted Torpedoes". What if the upgraded pilots thingy was an option unlocked by placing the admiral aboard the ship?
This would have a drawback due to the "0-1 admiral" limitation, making it underwhelming for particularly large battles. You could try solving that by re-introducing "Veteran Captains" from the Cadian lists and giving them the option to get the expert pilots, but Veteran Captains are only in the Cadian list due to the reduced leadership of all the other ships.
 
My suggestion probably causes more problems than it solves.

Actually BFGR has opened the veteran captians up to other fleets in the same fashion as chaos lords so thats an option to look at.

[Khar]

There has been an idea to separate upgrades from commanders in Ork fleet, though... But seeing that Orks really need a boost while Imperials don't, giving veteran captain access to resilient ordnance might be a good idea.
Giving it to whole fleet is kind of unfair for factions that had it before.

Ok, so:

Battleships:
Emperor
Retribution
Oberon
0-1 Nemesis

Grand Cruisers:
Exorcist

Battlecruisers
Mars
Jovian
Dominion
Overlord

Cruisers:
Tyrant
Gothic
Dictator
Lunar
Dominator

Dauntless
Siluria
Enforcer

Escorts:
Firestorm
Sword
Cobra

+Excellent Pilots upgrade available for purchase by any commander or captain?
+Any capital ship can take Assault Boats for +5pts.
+Half or more of the capital ships in the fleet must have launch bays.

Do you guys want to talk about the Tempest being included?

[Khar]

I know Retribution was in the original list, but I feel like completely launch bay-less battleship feels out of place in this fleet.
If it was up to me, i'd swap it for Reprisal from Book of Nemesis [hell, we already have lots of Nemesis ships floating around, why not one more ]. And Reprisal is basically a Retribution with one set of guns swapped for launch bays.

[afterimagedan]

Khar, I am totally on board for that. I thought that about the Ret too.

[BaronIveagh]

Eh, the reason for the 1-2 ratio is balance and to give the player some room when making their selections.  As far as the Retribution goes: aside from my natural abhorrence of putting anything from BoN in BFG at all (How about those Chaos Fast Battleships?), I'm just not a big fan of it.  It's fluff has it as a line breaker with LBs, but it's stats really don't match that.  Worse, it's frankly inferior to Oberon for more points.

[Dragon Lord]

I agree about the Retribution being a bit of an oddball in this list, but to be honest I don't see why it needs to be replaced with anything, 2 plus a 0-1 is enough battleship options for a standard fleet list.

[afterimagedan]

From what I have read from the Corribra fluff, they are limited on ships and refit damaged ships with launch bays often. This is the reason for the restriction as well as 1:2 or really not enough of  restriction because its pretty much not a restriction. Imperial fleets will take carriers and 1:2 is about what other fleets will look like anyways.

Did this get voted on yet

[afterimagedan]

It sort of halted. Lack of interest. Maybe a candidate for additional ships compendium 2?

[Gothmog Lord of Balrogs]

Glad you got my pm

[Gothmog Lord of Balrogs]

if you want I can take point on starting that. as well I would be Proof reading nids tonight but my power is out.

[afterimagedan]

No need to ask me! It's a whole different project!

[Gothmog Lord of Balrogs]

Would you host it with bfg r? The point would be to make them compatible with those rules so it should be accessible with them as well.
